May 29

We have completed school for the month of May. We have school all of the first week of June and then have finals on tuesday and Wednesday of the following week. I did not realize that I would have to give my kids finals so I will start putting those tests together this weekend and finish them up next week. I have about finished the curriculums for the classes I was teaching. I hope they are reasonably close to what is needed.

Some of the people that are at the school or in missions here in Bamako have put together the musical "Joseph and His Coat of Many Colors" and will be presenting it Saturday (May 30). It should be pretty good. We have a lot of musical talent around. I volunteered to man the refreshment booth at intermission. I hope everyone has the correct change.

We have had some clouds this week and some wind but not much moisture. A good rain would cool us down some. They say that the Sahara continues to spread so I don't know whether I will see any wet season or not.
