We have found a school board which will take all three children.  This is the Trillium Lakelands School Board.  All children could be schooled in the same school.

The problem with this solution is that we would have to rent an apt. or home or cottage for three months:  April, May and June in the district, ideally near the school.  Plus I would have to homeschool the children in their German lessons AFTER school hours, making for a long day for all of us (Oh, we could get up earlier and do this in the morning…!).

My preference would be to use the German system for diplomates and missionaries (the only way to “homeschool” legally for German children somehow attatched to the German school system… and since my children need to return to that system in the fall…).  I have written two letters, one for each principle, asking if they would accept an enrolement in the German distance learning schools.  Pitz will proofread them for me today and hopefully I will have the corrected letters tomorrow to give to the administration by Wednesday.

Please pray that we find a workable solution for the children.  I will school them if it is absolutly necissary.  Pray that the school would have the best interests of each individual child in view and make a decision which would honour God.  And pray that God would prepare other circumstances to compliment the school’s decision:  if they are to go to school, that God would provide housing for us.

Thank you for your prayers.  If we hear anything by Friday, I will let you know.  Otherwise, there will be a three week break starting a week from today in this whole process as the schools here close for three weeks Christmas holidays.  Your prayers in this time will not go unheard!  I am getting excited to see how God works in this situation!

Thanks and have a wonderful Christmas holiday!
