It has only been a couple days since the official beginning of summer. School really ended for us today with a lovely SCS graduation ceremony. It was short and sweet -- start and finish time within the same hour, give or take a minute or two. Ends of things always are bittersweet; the sadness of a goodbye intertwined with the anticipation of the next opportunities.
Summer break has come with a sigh of relief. There is still much to do at school -- wrap up, some more cleaning and organizing in the classroom, prepping for whatever repair and renovation and cleaning work will be done in the room over the summer, but many of the big things are done and that means letting out a big, long breath.
It doesn't mean a total break though. There is much to do in preparation for Spain. Our team is working on dramas, music, puppet ministry, outreach, and evangelism. Some, like me, are working on learning some Spanish, too. The email, phone, text, and FB chat lines are abuzz with communication between team members as we make plans and get ready for the trip, which is coming in just over three weeks. Only three weeks? Wow!
