Friday's Report
What an incredible week this has been!It just doesn't get any better than this. When we arrived last Saturday night, one class of 60 women had just departed, and the other class of 60 women are leaving today & tomorrow. So this week is the highlight of the 25 day course.
Yesterday,the VP of faculty, a former world renowned cardiologist, conducted a communion service for the participants of the course, and we were priviledged to sit in and partake as well. It was a messianic communion, and he explained the 4 cups that Christ, and all other Jewish families would have used at Passover Meal. A loaf of bread was broken in half, and passed out to each of us, to take a small piece, and then we went to the front for the cup. And before and after, was music , as we sang the praise choruses. It was a very moving experience.
Last night was commencement, which was another highlight! It was a very dressy affair, with a formal dinner to start. All the ladies, and their faculty, were in their national dress, so it was very colourful! Imagine how dull the next three sessions of 60 men each, will be!
The Valedictorian, from Malasia, gave an exceptional speech, in English, her second language. And then the certificates were presented,and many pictures were taken, the ladies were so excited , [ages would be from the 30s to the 50s]
The Haggai standard seems to be excellence, and nothing less. I've never seen so much deep cleaning [think a VERY through Spring cleaning] and laundry in all my life! After anyone leaves, their room is "deep cleaned", and after a session is over, all the classrooms, auditorium, hallways, everywhere, is washed down, & the wood surfaces are polished with Pledge, [lots of oak wainscotting, baseboards, heavy doors] ,and all glass surfaces also cleaned, and the classroom chairs, [leather] too.
Does anyone out there know how to remove ballpoint pen marks, or black marker,from leather? Please let me know if you do!
That's about it for now, dear friends, we hope and pray that all is well with you.
Blessings to each of you.
