June 30, Day 8
It’s the last day of June and I
can’t believe I have already been here for a week. This past week has been a
good time of just getting acquainted with everything, especially getting to
know the girls and slowly establishing a relationship with them. The real work
has yet to start though. Actually, I guess it kind of already has. I’ve been
busy putting my lesson outline together. Starting Monday, the girls and I will
be having classes with Alicia, Karla, and Heydi. I’ve already been teaching
them some English, but I never thought I would be teaching a class about sex. I
honestly don’t know what to expect from the girls in this class, but it’s my
hope and prayer that God works through me to somehow reach them and touch their
hearts. I’m a bit unsure about the high school class as well, but I’m just
going to lift it up to the Lord and trust that He will lead me. Jennifer just
arrived today, so she has a little catching up to do, but I’m excited to get to
know her more.
Well, I’m sitting…more like lying
down on my bed with a mosquito net above my head while I’m writing all this
down. I’m also using a flashlight because the Evelin and Jen are already
asleep. That being the case, I don’t want to use up my battery so I’ll cut this
short…God IS moving though through the relationships we are building with these
girls. I’m having a lot of fun getting to know them and I really hope our
relationships with them change something in their hearts.
Quote for today: “Christ wants not
nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.” –C.T. Studd
All things are possible with God.
