Struggles in KC
Today came and went. With the exception of Saije. She is really struggling to fit in. She is starting to go down hill and fast. Her teachers have come to us with concern. We have sat down with her and she has come to the conclusion that she hates it here in King Cove. She has a huge fear of the bears and a boy that has raped a girl in the school. We are going to try and get her through this fear. I have told her that she should feel safe in the school even if this boy is in the same class as her. Which he isn't, thankgoodness. Both her mom and dad are in the school and are there for her at any given moment. She has also been getting in with a bad group of girls. Ones that the parents are not involved in there lives. We are getting her to meet and hang out with some nicer girls of the teachers. I am hoping that this will help. It is hard when you can't make friends as easy as she had in Midway. This is going to be one of the biggest challenges we will face, making sure that our children won't suffer for the American $. Please say your prayers for our little Birdie. Lars and I went to the court and played 3 hard games back to back. I thought Lars was going to die out there on the court. He is out of shape. It took me a few times to get back in the game! The boys and girls were waiting for Lars to take over and before you knew it I was having to give him mouth to mouth! Just Kidding! He struggled but did good just getting out there and playin'. He said that he is up for the season, so we will see!
