July 12
It’s another Thursday and boy has this week gone by pretty
fast. We had a good mentor session with Gracie. I’ve really been enjoying
having that time in the morning to just dwell on God’s word and think about
what it means in my life and the lives of those we are ministering to. Gracie’s
been a great mentor and I’m learning a lot from her.
Evelin and Gracie went out to run errands while Jen and I
had English class with the girls. God has brought me a long way in terms of how
I’ve learned to communicate with the girls. I can’t thank Him enough for His
faithfulness in that. I still struggle at times, but I’ve gotten a lot better
compared to how I was the first week.
Jen taught the high school class today. We did things a
little different since we were running late, so while Jen and Evelin taught the
class, I was outside making sandwiches. Once we got home, I felt the need to
retreat to the room after eating my lunch. I was in a bit of an anti-social
mood, so I spent a few hours working on my blog posts. I’ve slowly been
catching up…I could take the easy way out by just summarizing in one long post,
but I don’t think I could do that. There’s always something I want to share
from each day, so I think I’ll stick to my catch-up routine.
After I got my posts up, I decided to crawl out of my little
hole. Dinner was a bit later than usual. Evelin was making bean soup with
Leslie, which turned out really good. Once dinner was through, the girls were
all in a playful mood. Jen started teaching Alicia ballet; I played Parcheesi
with Heydi, Karla and Melissa…that turned out to be a really fun game. Everyone
was laughing and having a good time. You could tell there was a change in the
atmosphere and it didn’t stop once we were all in our rooms. Jen, Evelin and I
started joking around about the silly things the boys say and how we were going
to make a remix of all of that. It was a good way to end the day.
“The life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy.”
-Psalm 19:8
