Repairs and visitors update

The boys kitchen floor was in a mess and it has been re-done, a dorm is also under repair.
Some plumbing repairs has been done on some faucets, drains and drainage systems.
A footpath to the single mothers place also has been made to ease access to their dorm. The former house that was housing the Coulstons has been turned into a dorm, since we are still adding more girl-students, the great hall that was their living room is being partitioned to rooms that can hold up to two girls per room. An additional toilet and bathroom is also been installed. Security lights that light up from motion detection are being installed to improve lighting and security.

In other new, we have had visitor come to MITS, to teach a skill or train the team in order to perfect their servitude to the students. Francine ( Darlene's cousin) was here, she taught English classes with Irene. She is a cowboy poet. She was full of stories of how she grew up with her family and Darlene. She left us a book with an autograph and her CD that are filled with poems and stories of her early life.
Jessica and Shannon also were here, Jessica is the youngest Professor in Pepperdine, she has been at MITS three times before and has had a seminar with the staff on leadership. Shannon too has been at MITS five times and keeps loving every trip she makes. Jessica (known as prof) has been teaching the 4.30 class on how to perfect their c.vs and improve on grammar. Both are currently workers with Life-bread Ministries, that Dusty and Cecily Breeding help run. They work closely to our catering program. Life-bread has helped build ovens made from bricks, a drum and cement.
Still here is Camron and Molly. Molly is a nurse and has been helpful on medical advices to Phillip our medic. She has had Hygiene classes with our girls. Camron is an architect by profession and is really helping us with the drawings of our buildings. He is using sketch-up to put all our building plans to scale and look professionally done. He has also trained and tutored the computer skills kids on the use of sketch-up. The Aggies and Kelly Davidson are gearing up for a camp that involves the whole of the student body as of next week. Kelly will be holding a seminar with the team on Strengths.
Expected visitors to come is Darren Wilson next week.
