And Another Week Has Past

Hello Family!

Thanks to all of you who are faithfully following Ronnie and me. I greatly appreciate your interest in my life and I can't thank you enough for all of your prayers.

This week has seemed to be the never ending week. Monday and Tuesday were so long that it felt like the entire week had passed. I think it's because I unfortunately am still not sleeping well and it's been that way since I got here. I have had only 3 good nights of sleeping straight through, and praise God last night made the 4th.

So as you all know, I have been going into the schools as an LSE and I help the LSEs to teach life skills. I usually don't do the teaching, I'm more of an aid to the LSEs-help lead the games, pass out papers, etc. I did get to teach one lesson this week on love which was good, and in the coming weeks I am sure I will start teaching more. It's been a little rough in the sense that I don't have any background in teaching, so I don't feel like I know how. We teach in about 6 or 7 different schools throughout the week so we stay very busy. In the afternoons I go to kids club, which I just love! Those kids are soooo precious.

God has really been showing me that I can fully trust Him with everything, to be patient, and to wait on Him. So many different situations over the past year have really caused me to do that, and especially while being here. I asked God one day to break my heart for what breaks His. I need to be careful for what I ask for because I got what I asked for, not only for just a day but for close to a week. Haha A couple days when I was at kids club, I was almost in a daze just looking around at all the kids, and had some kids clinging to me when I was thinking about the terrible backgrounds the kids come from. Their parents are drug addicts, abusive, alcoholics, unloving, etc etc and my eyes just filled with tears as I thought about those things. Yet it amazed me that despite such a rough life, these kids still have hope and they just want to be loved. Another day I was in Capricorn organizing some things in the container, when I looked out the window to see someone's shanty burst into flames. It just broke my heart to see all that someone has, which wasn't much, be taken from them so quickly. All the more reason to share the Gospel with people and bring God's love to them.

I know there is much more that I could say and share with you all, but I must be going for now. Please continue you pray. Miss you and love you all.

For His Glory,
Amy
