well, the internship already seems to be in full swing and i'm loving it so far! here are some of our responsibilities this summer:
- teaching through the book of Proverbs to a youth group
- teaching through the book of Proverbs with adults on staff at the ministry
- tutoring kids before and after school
-helping serve at a feeding program for preschoolers
- giving devotions 4 days a week (em and I will take 2 each)
- possibly teaching spanish lessons
i'm eager to make every moment count and give anything we can to further this ministry...and the kingdom!
it has been so wonderful to meet believers and see what God is doing here in this community. It was amazing to worship together with believers this morning and it just reminds me that our God is the God of the nations!
Some fun stuff...
-one mode of transportation is tricycles- these are motorcycles with an attachment on the side and back- they can fit 6 people besides the driver and they are completely decked out with paint and decorations. em and i have been buzzing around on these and trying to learn how to get around- its been pretty fun. for all you disney fans out there, picture the motorcyle thing on the aristocats- Lydia!
-where em and i live we have a beautiful view and we can see pretty far- our living situation is great and is very close to where we work
-the bottom floor of our building is a midwifery clinic- 100 births a month- they said that maybe we will get a chance to assist! whoa...
I am so grateful for all of you prayer warriors lifting me up before the Father. He has been equipping us and providing for us in every way. We are over jet lag now, havent gotten sick yet, and He is giving us grace to handle what we are facing. We serve a great God.
Please continue to pray for relationships to be built and for spiritual conversations to come up so that we may share the HOPE we have and encourage the believers!
love love.

Em,
Thanks for the super update! It's such a joy to see you serving Jesus in this way. I'm glad your jet lag is over.
I'm preaching on the Good Samaritan this morning -- I'm sure you're having many opportunities to minister compassion to hurting people.
We love you.
