Two weeks down five to go
We are done with the first two weeks and are now in class everyday from 8 to 3. This may not seem like a long day but we are usually in the same room the entire day other than the hour we have for lunch, but there are about 150 of us to feed in an hour so even that is difficult. Other than sitting for long periods of time the classes have been great and I have learned a lot about God and a little about myself. I am very excited because tomorrow I am in charge of a class on cooking from scratch, we are making spaghetti, apple pie, biscuits, and teaching them about cooking fresh veggies. 48 people signed up to take the class and only three out of the seven cooks that signed up to help can make it so it should be a lot of fun if everyone shows up.
Day of Quiet Prayer and Reflection
Today was a great day. We were given most of the day to just spend with or savior and meditate on His word, and what He had to teach each of us as individuals and to spend the day in quiet worship of His greatness.
With all that had gone on in the past few weeks I have not been willing to be still and listen to Him but today I was able to truly be still and listen to what He had to tell me. Through this time with just Him, He was able to convict me of my sins in His tender way through His word and His spirit, comfort me in My fears about leaving and reaffirm the call He has placed on my life.
I praise His wonderful name for the wonders that he has done in my life today.
The Start of the Journey
I am finally here. I got in Monday afternoon, and the rest of my team got in Tuesday afternoon, so we are all here and ready to go. These first few days have been slow, but tomorrow everything speeds up. We start classes at 9:00AM and get finished with the class at 5:00PM, these next seven weeks are going to be packed full of long days in classes. I am so exited to be here knowing that this is were the father wants me, and I ask that when you speak with Him that you think of me and my team as our travel plans are still being sorted out.
