"There's No Place Like Home"

From May 9-16 I had the pleasure of seeing our friends from our home church, Sovereign Grace, and my grandparents. My grandpa, who as you may know, is a doctor so he worked in the clinic that is just outside of the orphanage grounds along with my grandma. Rich, Chris, Don and Mr. Newsome went out to some of the schools where they told a bible story to the children.

             It was like a breath of fresh air, being able to spend time with “family” (literally and figuratively). I’ve enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people and experiencing different cultures, but “there’s no place like home”.

To My Prayer Group!

This is a thanks to my prayer group for being such good friends. It is very encouraging to have so many people praying for me and supporting me.

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25

Four different primary schools (including Shingai) gathered together at the best track, to compete in track, relay, and the high jump (slightly different than ours). It only included grades 5-7 so I missed one of the village kids in 4 th grade do the high jump. L Since then I have gone two full days (leave at 6am, home at 5pm) and two half days (Fridays go 6-2ish) I have enjoyed my classmates, but sometimes the day seems to run on since English is their second language and my second nature so… The first term (from January to end of March) ends on the last day of March. In my class there are 45 students (including me) and one teacher! Every morning we pull out our morning work notebooks and do our morning work out of the English book. Normally after I’m long done, the teacher will finally come in to class. The subjects change depending on the day except for English which is every day and used in ev...
