Well, we have another prayer request. One of the students, Jonathan F., caught pneumonia. His throat had been hurting a little for a couple days. He saw a doctor on Wednesday afternoon. She said he had a cold. Then he got worse. His lung started hurting Wednesday night. Then he got really sick overnight. In the morning, we called the doctor again, and he had pneumonia in a large portion of his right lung. And they took him to ICU in the hospital.
Anyway, it was kind of scary yesterday. He is doing great today. Yesterday, they thought he'd be in ICU for 4 days, now he's being moved to a regular room tomorrow. He's in good spirits today. When I visited him he was joking around. He's mainly worried about missing classes and missing out on our spring (fall) break. His parents are supposed to arrive tomorrow morning.
Please pray for his rapid recovery and his parents safe trip.
In other news, its rainy, but thing are continuing about like normal, well except for the whole student in the hospital thing. The students are stressed out with work because mid-terms are next weeks. I will be done piling on my students on Monday after they have their biochem exam. I gave my other mid-terms last week. I think the students are glad that I don't make them write about their feelings about chemistry. For two of their classes, International Studies and Message of Testament, there are lots of reflection papers that are all about their feelings. I, on the other hand, don't care about their feelings. :)

We are all praying for you, all the students, and Jonathan specifically here at Minter Lane. You were all prayed for during services yesterday, and of course the pray request was in the bulletin as you and I had discussed.
Love you. Be well. Peace, Karen
