Since arriving, as you know, I have faced a series of setbacks. For the most part I have had a good attitude about it, but lately I have found that my frustration has increased. This Sunday I met a girl who is doing something similar to what I want to do and I found myself thinking ‘why not me?’
The message that seems to keep hitting home is that it is not about what I am doing work wise. Rather, am I being obedient? Am I doing what God has given me to do to the best of my ability? It is rather a hard switch mentally to focus on the journey rather than the destination.
Please pray for boldness and that I would improve upon my language skills (as language is really important for getting to know people).
PS. I just want to say thank you to the small group that gave me all the stuff to bring over. Since plans have changed, I have used some of it at the orphanage... I hope you don’t mind. It had been such a blessing. The kids used the funky construction paper and some of the drawing paper to make books about themselves. They also love the jumbo skipping rope. (I have to confess, they keep sending everything back home with me and so I also use one of the skipping ropes to exercise at home). As well, my two year old loves the balls. Almost every day, when he gets bored of sitting and listening to the lesson he will tug on my leg and ask for a ball (his favourite is the pink stripped one). The markers and pencil crayons have also been put to good use. It has been nice to have the resources to make my lessons fun.
