It's an epidemic!

We are in the midst of lots of sickness here at BFA, and Germany too for that matter. Please pray for our kids and staff! There are at least 50 students sick at the High School today and the teachers are starting to lose the battle as well. There's a mix of stomach/intestinal problems (some strains lasting up to 60 hours) and also high fevers, sore throats, coughs and colds. Howard and Katy are home sick today and I'm making chicken noodle soup for my family and also to take up the street to one of the ladies I work with in the library. So, please pray! The kids tend to come to school even with they are sick because they are afraid of getting behind. However, our director was on the intercom this morning telling the students to STAY HOME or GO HOME if they are sick, and to those who are still at school, wash hands and no food sharing. It sounds pretty basic but it was a good reminder.

I'm sorry to hear of all the sickness going around. We'll be remembering you and the BFA community in our specific prayers for good health and protection.

Actually, our son Peter called from school earlier today for me to come and bring him home; he's got a major cold...and that with finals week...

Keep taking those vitamins!
In His care,
Myriam
