Busy Week Then Crash November 12

This was one of those weeks that just got too busy and I didn't know how to stop it. In addition to teaching at UNYP and at CISP, and tutoring 2 students, I started going to a Book Group on Henry Nouen's book Gracias! It is held in the apartment of a missionary at the International Baptist Seminary, who is an international consultant on prostitution and human traficking. There are 7 of us in the book group, and it holds promise. I especially wanted to see how someone else does book groups, because I have never been to any other than my own.

Wednesday I attended an evening "Faith and Learning" monthly meeting for college professors. A Czech student presented from her dissertation at Charles University on the Moravians and Christian education. It was interesting. We got to ask her questions after her presentation. It was held in the home of Bill and Lisa Miller, who are here with IICS,like us, and they are very hospitable.

Thursday I interviewed the Vice President for Academic Affairs at the International Baptist Theological Seminary, regarding programs they offer.

In addition, grades were due at CISP, and mid-terms to correct at UNYP.

By Thursday evening I was ready to spend a few days of rest. So Lloyd and Lance left on the train Friday morning, to spend the weekend in Vienna, Austria. (When we got flights to come here, we did not know that we could only stay for 90 days, and we will be here 93 days, so both Lance and I have to leave the country at least once before December 18.) Vienna is a $40, 4-hour train ride away, and if I had felt well enough, I would have gone with them, but instead spent a weekend at home trying to get well. I feel better and they will be home in a couple of hours!
