Hello again!

Just to keep y'all updated (yesterday was a big day)...I was able to show the Chronicles of Narnia movie to my two students and their mother. Last night i was able to give them a copy of the book in their language and explain all the symbolism in it. i had lifted up this opportunity yesterday and asked that i would be able to share with boldness but also with gentless and i was really enabled to do so. i shared the message, all of it, but in a way that didn't estrange them or turn them off. I think they really got it! They really seemed to understand what i was saying and when i explained who the lion in the book was one of the girl's faces lit up and she let out a sound of surprise and excitement. They started reading the book as before class was over and i told them to remember what it meant every time they read it. Awesome.

Also last night was the night we celebrated the girls in my d-ship group memorizing psalm 19! All of the girls (and me and my teammate) got it memorized! i honestly don't think i've ever been prouder in my life of someone else. Think of the committment these girls showed! What i myself do here might not last, but His word remains forever and i Ask that what they learned this semester will keep changing these girls' lives for years to come!

Please be lifting us up as we prepare to leave this week. It' very hard to leave knowing there's still work to be done over here and it's almost unbearable to leave knowing that my students still don't know the truth. Please be asking for strength for us and for wisdom as we still try to share the truth with them.

I'm excited so excited to see all of you when i get back! Be prepared to keep getting updates though! There are a lot of thoughts i want to share when i don't have to worry about how to word things and say them safely! Peace!
