When we were home this summer to get Joe settled back into the USA, Jeremy let us know that it was his desire and intent to return to Dakar Acadamy for 8th grade. We reluctantly agreed - knowing that we would miss him even more with Joe being off the continent. Jeremy got back to Dakar Academy (DA) and got right into the swing of things - he was elected 8th grade rep, his grades were good even though he got back 2 weeks late, his dorm parents were so glad he was back because he is such a good helper, etc. In other words, there was no issue at DA.
We made a family decision that it would be best for Jeremy to be with his parents at this critical stage in his development. He was 13 at the time (he had a birthday November 10th and is now 14) - and we wanted to sow into his life just as we did with Joe. We are a pretty tight knit family and we knew that no one could encourage Jeremy and build him up in the faith like we could. So at the end of October - we went to Dakar, Senegal and got our boy.
We are home schooling again and we are excited to have our baby boy home with us. Though DA is a great school - it is a 4 day drive away from Ghana - flying takes at least a day because we have to drive over to Abidjan to catch the flight. We hope that you too are rejoicing that we are together again!
