53 - That's this year's number represented by the student body at Black Forest Academy this school year. Fifty-three different countries they've lived in and their families have served or are serving in.

I love working with these kids and we're off to a very positive start.

But we do miss the folks back home. Here's a shot of our kids and grandkids when we were in the same continent/country/state.
