So its the last week of January ... How did that happen? Since I last wrote so much has happened I don’t have enough time to touch on it all but I do want to write about two things in particular. So since I got here in September i have been working at the school everyday in LKG (Lower Kindergarten) being a teachers assistant there are about 58 kids in LKG. In the beginning of my time here it was so overwhelming to me going there everyday and trying to teach these kids english because they understood nothing I felt like a failure and like they were not getting anywhere. Week after week i would go in and try to teach them there ABC’s and 123’s and always had to hold the pencils for them and it seemed like months went by with it being like this and them just not getting it. This week we just gave the kids there Exams and now they can all write by themselves and speak to me in english and actually understand when I tell them to do something. The progress was not something that I saw with my eyes because I was with them everyday but when It was actually time for them to take there test i thought about how much they have improved sense the time I started. It just taught me a big lesson to not give up and just keep on keeping at what your doing even if you don’t think your making any progress. I know God taught me this lesson because I struggle through out my life with just giving up to easily and when i feel like i can’t do something or it gets to hard or i don’t see results i will just want to quit but God has really showed me to be faithful and just keep doing it even if you don’t see fruit right away the fruit will come.
So much more i could say about my time at the school but The other things i wanted to talk about was part of my discipleship Monica has asked me and the other girls here to make a list of the things we want to work on in our life's during the rest of our time here and self-reflect and ask ourselves and seek the Lord about bad habits we want to break, things in our life's we struggle with, do you see any weak point with your relationship with God that you want to make stronger. It just made me think Wow why haven’t I ever sat down and made a list like this and ask people in my life things I need to improve upon before. So maybe anyone reading this would want to make a list to and share it with a spiritual mentor in your life or a friend. It has really challenged me and God has been revealing areas in my life that I need to work on. Please be praying for me as i start to think about coming home and as i have seen people come and go here I have also seen how when they get home sometimes they will go through a depression phase of adjusting back to the states, so please pray I that the Lord will give me places to serve when I go home I start school on the 19th online and am would like to go back to Liberty residentially next year and take the classes i need to get into Liberty’s Nursing program. The Lord has also taught me to view my school work as ministry and something I’m doing with Him and that He will use. So much more I want to write! But I have to save some stuff to tell you in person otherwise you will be bored of all my stories. Also please pray for sickness one girl who is here might have a parasite she has been having stomach problems and is getting tested today! I really don’t want her or anyone else to get a parasite ahh!
Love you all, thank you for your prayers.
