Marie has been humming the “Pomp and Circumstance” graduation march for the last few days, not surprisingly with two graduation ceremonies for Monica this month.
Here, in a USA high school, some students can enroll at a university to do some of the basic courses that count toward a two-year Associate’s degree. Monica was one of those students, and on 7 May, she graduated with her Associate’s degree from Valencia College. It was a spectacular experience.
On 24 May, Monica graduated from high school with 739 fellow students. She worked hard and did exceptionally well to finish in the top 5 of her school.
Earlier in May, Monica’s prom provided a bit of fun amid her end-of-year exams.
Monica writes, “Thank you so much for your prayers for me, especially over the last few months as I made a decision about my future. I ultimately decided to go to Brandeis University, just outside of Boston, Massachusetts!
I’m looking forward to starting there at the end of August, but I appreciate your continued prayers. Pray for a smooth transition into university, wisdom as I pick my major, and God’s provision for the finances. Thank you!”
Prayer Requests:
- Praise for God’s guidance related to Monica’s university choice.
- Pray for Kenneth, as he has an internship with a surveying group for the next three months. Thankfully it is here in Orlando, so he is with us for this time.
- Stefan will travel to Spain and Central Asia to encourage and train church planters. Pray for significant interactions and safety.
Monica lyk soooo mooi vir prom! Sjoeeer, dis pragtig om 5de in haar jaargroep te wees!!
