“We need thousands of more couples serving in the missions of the Church. Every mission president pleads for them. They…can leave the grandchildren. Those little darlings will be just fine, and I promise you will do things for them in the service of the Lord that, worlds without end, you could never do if you stayed home to hover over them. What greater gift could grandparents give their posterity than to say by deed as well as word, “In this family we serve missions!”

VILLAGE SCHOOL


WE WENT WITH THE MACEDONIA HUMANITARIAN MISSIONARY COUPLE TO DELIVER 15 COMPUTERS TO A SCHOOL IN THE NORTH TOWARDS MITROVICE.
       LAST YEAR THE CHURCH GAVE THEM MONEY TO PAINT AND TO BUY NEW DESKS....IT WAS SO FUN TO DELIVER THE COMPUTERS..THEY WERE SO EXCITED AND GRATEFUL !!!


               THERE ARE 40 CHILDREN IN EACH CLASS..THEY SAID THE CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO SHARE CHAIRS AND COMPUTERS.....MOST OF THE TEACHERS HAVE TAUGHT FOR 20 TO 38 YEARS.. DURING AND AFTER THE WAR  A FEW YEARS AGO THEY TAUGHT FOR FREE...NO PAY...FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHILDREN....THERE IS ONE YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS JUST HIRED AS THE ENGLISH TEACHER, SHE DID THE TRANSLATING....


THE CHILDREN WERE SO EXCITED TO  SEE US.....TWO OF THE SMALLER SCHOOLS NEAR THIS VILLAGE  HAVE BROKEN  WINDOWS AND THEIR WOOD BURNING STOVES ARE SO OLD AND NOT WORKING....

NEW DOORS AND DESKS





   SAM SAYS THIS IS JUST LIKE THE STOVE AND SINK HE HAD WHEN HE WENT  TO SCHOOL !!!!!!

WOOD PILE AND OUT HOUSE !!


IN ONE OF THE CLASSES THE BOYS WERE AT THE BACK TABLES AND THE GIRLS WERE IN THE FRONT....

SUCH DEDICATED TEACHERS..AND HAPPY CHILDREN !!!
