God is good! So yesterday pretty much I watched as everyone taught. It was so beautiful to just watch and see what God has done. He's brought teachers and students alike. At the end of class, people didn't want to leave. They were having such a good time. Srey Nith has the girls teaching the girls and the boys teaching the boys and they love it! I love it! Michael was teaching Ravi and Elizabeth was spending time one on one with our guy who has a speech impediment. We have more guys than girls right now but we can start expanding soon I think. Now that we have a core to teach. :)
So I emailed one of my friends. It's interesting how the first 6 months are all making the next 6 months so blessed. So I had a translator the 3rd time I came and when I came back this time he has had me help him with medical consults for the family and in his english class. I didn't know it but he is the head of the english teaching department at NLF. I had asked if people from the church would volunteer to teach since they just openned a branch near ours, but I think there were not takers so yesterday I asked if I could have some help with materials and he said come on by and get anything you want! So YAY! and one of the issues we have been having is that we don't have easy khmer/english translated songs for church and today we can probably get some from them. So YAY! I just love how God works and puts things together! :)
I just feel like these days I just pray and leave it to God and he does it like that day or the next day, exactly what I asked for. It's like being in Japan again, where I just have to trust and not do it in my own strength. And I have been wondering why I can't do that, but finally I came to the end of my strength and it's beautiful to watch Him do it all again and me just watch His great handiwork from the sidelines.
Please pray for more teachers as our awesome Elizabeth has to leave. Also we need to figure out our transportation issue. The car is becoming too small to carry all those people. Do I do a tuktuk? Do I make rounds with the car? Do we change locations and make it more central? What does God want? What will be best? Also L didn't show up and didn't answer her phone, so please pray for us to be able to locate her, cause I really like her coming. She came day before yesterday with her three exercise books, her, her picture of her and me and a huge smile. She learned a lot and she shared a lot about her family. It was really good! Also, should I get a social worker?? So many things to think about but
