God is sooo awesome! So besides writing, it is official. I am the new medical advisor to Chabdai. I can't tell you what a dream come true this is! I started preparing curriculum like a crazy woman 2-3 years ago, even had my sister edit it and I didn't even have a project and now! Heheh! It's right here! In my lap!
Everything is just going so well. Interesting experiences - I got to ride 5 on a motorcycle! I didn't think we'd even fit, but :) I am a pro now with riding, dont even need to hold onto anything and routinely bring all my groceries back on the motorcycle. I need to take lessons on learning to drive the motorcycle, but it's sooo hot! I just learned how to make coffee :)
My english class is coming to an end. I have been feeling done for a week or two but my student loves me and every session says I am the best english teacher in the world. Last week I started pushing her and asking her to question her beliefs and statements. I felt bad after the first one cause I almost made her question whether the bible is important and all I was trying to get her to do was think. The next time I again started questioning her and at the end just apologized and she said, "No, thank you. Asians don't learn to critically think and thank you for teaching me." I love how God has totally connected us and is making this be exactly what she wants even when I feel like I am being a jerk (but with a good heart and right motives). But I still was feeling I need to end this. I am getting too busy and feel she is on the right track. Her sermons now are amazingly good! I am loving them and even want copies. But how to tell her??? Then this week she said she is going to korea for possibly 2 months and then moving in june! so that means I am almost done!! After this quarter we can go to email and I can help her that way but no more class! :) I love how God works!!!
My mentorship already ended. They have started a saturday evening bible study now! :) I am so happy
New things, we might start a church for michael's english class, provided he asks his students. They are loving the first aid class and it's perfect practice for the chabdai project. Today I was preparing off my notes. In class I go and wing it and everything just falls together so beautifully and now I am just writing it down for the training manua. Any health professionals who read this and want to help me build the curriculum - even procedural like universal precautions, blood exposure and hiv prophylaxis, infection control etc, let me know! :) Would love your help!! Oh and addiction!
As for our center. I am excited about the possibilities. Please pray, things are falling together!
Other than that, having a great time. I just love being here. It's sooo hot and humid. i am drenched going, coming and in class! But I love cambodia! Getting guitar lessons from my friend. She just dropped by ;) I love how she just called and came by. I am still in my pj's since it's sunday but yay!
I love God!!!! I am just soo soo blessed! trust you are all well! thanks for all your prayer and support!
