Awards Season at End of School Year
Clara and Josiah received major awards at the end of their school year.
Josiah got the "David award for Christian Lifestyle"
and the Art Award for outstanding effort and performance in 3rd grade.
Clara was voted by her 7th grade peers in Bible class to receive this special character award based on
1 Tim 4:12:
"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."
Boarding School Not Boring
Lydia and Johanna got to go to the ropes course again recently in the Black Forest!
Lydia meets and eats with dorm sisters...
These scenes are a silver lining to all the shut downs and remote learning they had to do this year. Missing senior trip to Rome was a particular downer for Lydia, but so glad she got to complete her senior year with her friends and will be graduating soon!

Cuyahoga River Gorge Cave Hike
Yesterday, Renee had the idea to take a hike. So on our way to pick up Clara from a birthday party in Cuyahoga Falls, we visited this cool park, with a trail that leads this historic cave.
The view from the cave looks out at the falls, barely visible through thee trees on the left.
This plaque marks some of Ohio's earliest history of settlers and tells the story of contact with Native Americans.
Here's a closer look at the falls coming out of the reservoir created by the gorge.
It was about 80 degrees, a beautiful day for a great hike!
Cousin Judah Birthday
Being back from Mongolia means unexpected blessings of being here for family gatherings.
With parents at Grandpa and Grandma's house...
11 years ago we were also here for his original day of birth.
Happy Birthday Judah!
Dorm Work Day
Lydia and Johanna participated (semi-willingly) in a work day around the dorm last weekend.
Looks like they got some rewards for their labors in the process.
Yard work; fun when you're done.
