The memorial service for Marco was beautiful. The high school students from Concordia were very mature and articulate as they said good bye to their fellow student. Abi is doing a little better as are the other kids. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for the school and for healing.

On a lighter note....Tim has turned into a very good "Sunday driver". He weaves through the traffic like a local driver. Abi and I tease him and sit in the back seat and call him "Tames". I think we may need to get him a pair of white gloves and a hat.

The down side of Tim being our driver on Sundays....our full time driver quit yesterday. She came to work and said she could not be our driver anymore. She wanted us to tell her company that we did not need a driver anymore....that Tim was going to be our driver and this way she could stay in good standing with her company??? We told her we could not tell the company that because we really need a full time driver. She said the "family" could take taxis???? This culture really confuses me....just when I think I understand it....the rules change and I am back at square one. The number one reason drivers leave their current job....because.....they find a better job....but they never say this out right....they just leave and make up bizarre reasons. We think Jan wants an office job with the car company...which would be a step up for her....which is great with us....we could give her a recommendation and they could find us a new driver. BUT....that would be too "straight forward" so she devised this scheme and I am afraid it has backfired for her. We are very sad and confused and a little angry. When her plan backfired....she told the car company that we treat her badly....she has been very happy for the past five months and the week before she gave me a gift and said she loved me??? What the heck???? The car company is also confused because at her monthly reviews she has been very happy with us and her job??? This has been a couple of really bad weeks!!!!
