BFA Opening Ceremonies kicked off the 2011-2012 school year on Tuesday. The seniors marched into a packed auditorium carrying flags representing the countries from where our students call home. The Director, Mr. Phil Peters, delivered an opening address. Using his canoe for the prop, he shared God's word and encouraged us all to be prepared for the this year's journey, through the quiet waters and the rolling rapids. He also interviewed the 1st graders (the class of 2023) and as you can tell, we received some funny responses from these 6 year olds. It is amazing how when the first wanted to boy wanted to be a pilot, and the first girl wanted to be a horse back rider, that the remaining students all followed suit. Challenging times followed as parents said farewell to their children for the start of this year.

We have landed and work has begun!
We arrived safely with all our bags at 11:10am on Wednesday. By noon we had dropped our bags off at our new home, Hauptstrasse 55, 79400 Kandern, Germany, and were at a luncheon for TeachBeyond being held at BFA. Rob started work at 12:30 and arrived home at 4:30. The Kraines blessed us with a delicious dinner, that most of us stayed awake for. Since then, Rob has been at the office 8-6 as the staff has been working diligently to ensure that the school is ready for the start of school next week. New student orientation is Monday and opening ceremonies and the start of school are Tuesday. This means that some students will be arriving Sunday and the remainder will be traveling in on Monday. Please pray for the students to have safe travel and the time and opportunity to say good bye to family and friends.
