Back to Dorm

The dorm is ok. Have a great first 101 class. I know you will do great! Miss you guys! This was my FB post after returning the Sudanese to Southern Union in Wadley to begin their summer school class. When we arrived yesterday [Sunday] afternoon, with the instructions that they had to be at the dorm to move in before 3pm, it was locked up tighter than Dick's Hatband. Not a sole in sight and darker than pitch. We begin making phone calls to find out what was going on and did we miss something here. To make matters worse, our cell phones from Birmingham do not work in Wadley, Alabama. The giant NOTE on the dorm door - MOVE IN MONDAY Begins at 2pm -was absolutely correct. So here we sit on Sunday with a truck load and pulling a trailer full of goods and nowhere to go. We ended up at the Wadley Baptist Church, backed the door of the trailer up to a tree so no one could get in and left Bullen and Andrew with their backpacks with a church member to keep until tomorrow! All I could think of as I drove away was: What it must feel like in a foreign county to have no home, no family, no phone, no keys, no car, no money, only the few donated possessions. Their FAITH in God is AMAZING! You guys have shown me so much! xoxoxoxox Mama Lala
