Hi all! Thought I would start off this post by giving you some numbers that are pretty incredible and have shocked me as well. I have been here about two and a half months, ten weeks and five days or seventy-five days. Its crazy to think that its been about nine weeks since the team left and 8 weeks since Peter left. That feels like a year ago to me now. So much has happened since then and whenever I go to the guest house its like a vague memory that I stayed there for a week.
You want more numbers? I thought so. I´ve taught Seventy-one classes to one-hundred fifty-three students and I am still trying to learn all of there names! Thats all i have as far as numbers, hope you enjoyed!
Classes have been going well, Iam learning how I have to give the students some kind of grading system, which has been a little bit challenging trying to figure out the process.
I have made a new friend who has been really great. For those of you who were here, his name is Randy, and he is Margo´s son. I´ve been hanging out with him and getting to know him. Last night he taught me how to drive his motorcycle. Don´t worry mom! I went slow and it was safe. Not too much different then a bike really. I think he and I are going to go fishing sometime and do some other stuff. Maybe hunt for snakes to cook them up and eat them. So needless to say I am very excited for the opportunities i might have to do with Randy.
I visited his youth group and tonight I am going to help teach them the dramas that we did with the team when they were here. Please pray for Randy as he is a new Christian and I want to be a good friend for him. Also please pray for the dramas that i will be teaching them, just that they would beable to understand me and that everything would go well. I Think thats it for now, I´ll try to update on a more weekly basis. Hope all is well at with everything. God bless!
En Cristo,
Dan
Wow, 71 classes? 153 students?
ReplyDeleteNumbers make everything sound a lot different.
It's cool about your new friend. :) I'll be praying for him and his faith. It's great that he accepted Christ. :)
Are you serious about eating snakes, though? :P They don't sound very appetizing....

Wow, Daniel! Time flies, doesn't it? I'm excited for you, that you're world is growing and taking root down there!
ReplyDeleteOh, and your whole "numbers" bit got me to thinking, so I tried calculating my own stats from TW... yeah... LOTS of kids, LOTS and LOTS of classes! It blew my mind! --- Just for that, I'll have the doctor bill sent to you! xP
