hello all
here's another update. thank you so much for battling with me in prayer as we give ourselves for HIS KINGDOM!
WHAT IVE BEEN DOING
- teaching through Proverbs and giving morning devotions
- helping serve at a feeding program- learning some new foods!
- tutoring and helping with homework- although i couldnt remember what antecedents of pronouns were the other day! :)
- visiting students in their homes and meeting their families- this is my favorite!
- painting a new building
- building relationships
WHAT IVE BEEN LEARNING
-as we prepare to teach each week, it has been wonderful for me to just have THE WORD as my guide. sometimes its too easy for me to dig into commentaries right away or ask other people what things mean- God is teaching me again the sufficiency of his word. He is teaching me new truths as I just read it over and over again and study it in a way so that i understand it well enough to explain to a new believer.
-dependency on God- there have been so many situations where I am overcome with my inadequacy and my need to get everything from HIM. Sometimes it is truly "moment by moment". I feel I wont be able to make it another step or word without stopping and getting my strength from the Lord.
- God's common grace to mankind. I am wide eyed as I see some living conditions and certain situations- I think, how can this be? how can people survive like this? It is only by his grace...
HOW YOU CAN PRAY
- Relationships with the girls we are working with. Even specifically, we are praying and thinking about which girls to take to the mall this weekend. We want to be very intentional about building into the girls here and getting to know them.
- Continued culture and language learning- pray for sensitivity and patience
- safety and health- for us and those we are working with
RANDOM...
-We went to the market today on our own for the first time and successfully walked away with bananas, pineapple, and lettuce!
- We're starting to handle our little friends better (cockroaches and lizards). There have been fewer screams and were able to dispose of them a little more gracefully each day
- We had some friends over the other night. It was a blast- we learned some new games, took pictures, and laughed a lot!
TTFN! :)

Wow, sounds like your days are full. God will use you in such a mighty way. I would not be able to fall asleep with your "little friends" lol. I will pray for God's choice for the mall trip and for Him to fill you with His words for that trip. You and your co-workers are in our prayers, Praise God for your willingness to be used. Love ya Denice
