It is official!! Damon turned in his last paper today and has completed a Masters in International Social Development. I am SO proud of him. The last 9 months have been stressful but Damon did a great job of balancing a new country, a job, teaching a local Chinese woman weekly English lessons using the Bible, school and his wife. When he came home last night I presented him with his "diploma" and all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto while Pomp and Circumstance filled the room. The fleece doesn't look quite as regal compared to the cap and gown but hey, graduation doesn't happen until April of 2009, so we had to make due. I can't end this post without thanking Kelly B. for proofreading Damon's papers and for holding onto and e-mailing us Damon's last paper when our computer crashed the weekend before it was due! Thank goodness he had already e-mailed it to you for proofreading. Please join me in congratulating Damon on a job well done and please pray for a job in the States where Damon can use his talents and new found knowledge to serve others. I can't wait to see what the future holds...no seriously, I can't wait to see what the future holds.
