So what have I been doing recently? Classes and more classes, but it’s good, I’ve been learning a lot. Also I met two couples from the United States who are here briefly teaching at the university. Together with them I was able to go to a local orphanage. The children sang for us and then we played duck, duck, goose together.

It’s amazing to see all that is happening here right now and to watch Proverrbs 3:5-6 unfold before my eyes. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
