Today we got up bright and early! Once again we travelled to teach English. We were there the whole day in left sometime shortly after dinner. This experience has been quite amazing. Today we had an opportunity to share with our friends and learn about their lives. One story in particular stands out. Ruth, a dear sister shared about her experience with Hannah on a short-term mission trip. They stayed in a remote, poor and cold village. The hosts gave them the best they had. They slept in a mud hut and share a small blanket. Ruth shared how cold they were during that time and how emotional it was. All they could do was cuddle and cry together. But during this time God gave Hannah a beautiful song that I really want to learn. This is just a snipet of the time of sharing and learning.
A brother named Will also has encouraged and challenged me. Will is a slow learner and doesn't really thrive in school. But Will is a prayer warrior. Seriously, I have never seen someone so engaged in communion with God. Every day when we are at the school, Will sits on his bed praying. When we are out talking or playing games we know where to find Will - on his knees. Wow!We are so blessed! I have so much to learn about true discipleship. I have so much to learn from these dear brothers and sisters.
