Summer has Begun

Last week a couple thousand students graduated at the University of South Alabama Commencement. I had not thought I knew so many people graduating until I started greeting everyone. For some students, it may be the last time I see them. Some students will stick around Mobile for a little while. With the summer also comes a bit of exodus for other students. Many of the Japanese go home or travel, Some Nepalis leave for other schools or go someplace to work, and it's easy to lose track of everyone. This coming Monday a new group of Japanese students arrive, but there will only be 4 of them (as apposed to over 20 last year). Instead of Bible study, the FOI crowd will go and meet them at the airport, and help them with their bags, and offer snacks when they get back to the dorms. This Friday, for those students who are just waiting around for the summer semester to begin (after Memorial Day), we are taking a trip to the Beach. Hopefully we'll have good weather.
