It came! Prayers have been answered and the ground is looking level. And we've got a picture to prove it!

Just in case you are confused that's my husband on the left and the backhoe on the right :)

And since the septic is going to take a bit longer and we are antsy to get school going these are our temporary washrooms. Nothing like using a blue rocket again.Si Dieu vle, Adoration hopes to open it's doors on Monday to 120 students, 10 teachers, and one very excited director. There has been a lot of work going on on the property but there has also been a lot of work going on behind the scenes. Teachers and their fearless leader, Kim, have been hard at work the last couple of weeks getting ready for school to open on Monday morning. Everyone is excited about getting school open again and we pray that Adoration may be a place where, children and adults, voices and hands, may be used to praise and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. Please keep Adoration in prayer on Monday as there are quite a few kinks that will need to be worked out and it will be a flurry of excitement and busyness.
Below the teachers are organizing and preparing the books for each class.And the cooks have started work once again as well. They are LOVING their new kitchen, it's 20x better than the kitchen at the old school. Here they are making a sauce for rice out of a soup mix, compliments of Ontario Christian Gleaners.
And Maia giving the water filter a test run before we send it down to the school.

Glad to see that things are going well; that you got the backhoe in. Be sure to remember that it's 1/4" fall per foot for your septic pipes. Looking forward to seeing the end result photos of the yard.

Wishing you God's blessings on your grand reopening!
