Helloooooooo!
Just wanted to update everyone on how things went on Saturday night with the songs and such. It was amazing! I was able to bring all the lyrics to the songs i sang and i was able to sing a song in their language! Singing and speaking in their language is so important. They know English well enough, but not at the level where something i say or sing in English can really connect with them. They knew exactly what this other song meant and i think (and hope) that it really stuck with them. It also opened doors for me to bring my guitar back again and sing more songs! I am so excited! Maybe the coolest thing that happened was that the 9 year old sister, as i was leaving, asked me if i knew any Britt Nicole songs. She said she really likes Britt Nicole! Britt Nicole is a C singer and i thought it was really strange that this girl had heard of her, much less liked her or listened to her at all. I am so excited that this door has already been opened! This could bring some awesome opportunities for me to explain the lyrics to her and since she already likes her music, she will continue to hear it and continue to remember what it means! Awesome!!!!
Besides that, not much has been going on. The last few days have been holidays over here (i feel like they have waaaay more holidays than we do) so i haven't been teaching and i've really been bored out of my skull. Today i start teaching again, so i'm really thankful for that. Our d-ship group is going great! We're starting to wrap up and talk about how now that i have taught them, it is their job to go and teach others. We're still memorizing Psalm 19 and i am so proud of the progress they've made and their committment to keep going. I keep Asking that they would be reminded of it every day and that they would see some way to apply it to their lives. I told one of the girls the other day that she will never regret putting His word into her heart and mind!
Thanks for praying for me! I need it these last few weeks as i try to finish strong. Col. 4:2-6
