Our second Sunday!
It still doesn’t feel real, and yet it feels like we’ve been here forever already!
I had the opportunity today to teach the children’s Sunday school through a translator this morning. I always forget to ask someone to take pictures. I did get some videos and pictures when the kids were singing and practicing for their Christmas play.
Even if we can’t understand the language yet, we enjoy watching their skit and are able to tell the story outline of the birth of Jesus. It is so fun to watch them act it out! They already have all their parts memorized!
It has been so hot, but it cools down a little in the evening. It is still probably in the 90s. The kids enjoy going outside to play in the shade once it cools. One of the favorite games so far has been wheelbarrow races. I wish we could get it to feel cooler in the house in the evenings! But we need to close the windows and use mosquito netting at night. It makes everything very muggy and hot. It makes it hard to sleep sometimes. The kids said that this isn’t even the hottest time of year! We just missed that. Praise the Lord! I guess He knew this was the most we could handle to start with!
Isn’t this little guy the cutest?! I couldn’t get him to do his big smile for the camera.
Eric and a few of the kids were able to go out to a nearby village to pass out tracts. Pastor Nelson said it would be too hot for the little ones, so we stayed back today. We are praying about starting a church there soon. I am looking forward to getting to go there as well. I may start a Saturday Bible club there while the men are preaching to different groups. I am very excited about that! Pray the Lord gives us wisdom when to start that. I would set up in the shade, so I feel it would be okay.
Can you find Daniel? 😉
Sometimes as a missionary wife, we have to stay behind. It can feel like we’re missing out on the “real” missionary work. I want to be out there all the time involved…but I know the Lord has given me a precious ministry in my home too. Praying the Lord directs me to what exactly He does and doesn’t want me to be involved in.
