My favorite class that I have the privilege of teaching is music. Every Tuesday and Thursday I haul my guitar down to the school and we sing and play games. The kids absolutely love to sing and learn new songs, and we actually performed a worship song at last week's Sunday evening service. It's so great to hear their voices as they sing and praise the Lord! They also love to be silly, so I taught them one of my childhood silly songs, and they taught us one of their own! It's been really great, though there have been some minor struggles, and I'm so thankful that God has placed me in this position.
Last Saturday I had the privilege of going to the OB in the hospital and socializing with the ladies who work there. I had been introduced to them previously by my friend, Sara, who is now back in Switzerland, and they received me very warmly. We shared cookie bars that I had made, and I was able to try a new spicy Nigerien dish... I love trying new food! It was good to be able to hang out with them, and I was even invited to visit them any time.
It's also been great to spend time with the STA's and we will be receiving more new-comers this week. Please continue to pray for the flooding in Niamey. There is a lot of damage done, and many people are still homeless. Please be praying as the local churches are helping to feed and minister to the flood victims. Also, pray for the missionaries who don't have homes because of the flooding. May lives be touched for God's glory through this situation!
Thank you very much for you prayers and support!
