Back to Work!!!!!!!!! :)

Saturday the vacation was over. lol. Mike and Pat came back on Friday and I am back in my little room. Sunday the children´s church went very smoothly. I think that each week it gets better. It is a challenge for me but I like it. I think that at first it was difficult primarily because I have had basically no real experience teaching kid´s church on a weekly basis. But things are going very good at the church in Huambi. This week we talked about creation and the seven days that it took. It was fun because there are a large number of kids under 6 years old. So it´s challenging also because there were 6 teenagers there and I am basically with no help. Next week is going to be our big kick-off service for the adult church service and the pastor from Sucua is going to come as a guest and preach. He will preach and we will have refreshments afterwards. It will be the first service with adults and kids. And we will meet in our kid´s church next door. It will be exciting. The following week I get to have a youth servcice after the kid´s service. (I´m excited!!!) We are still planificando (planning) how to work out a teen service and a kids service and an adult service because there is only one of me and one Pastor Angel and our nights are limited...... oh, and a million things to do. :) But I am so blessed to be a part of this new church... SOO blessed. This week we are having Health Promoters at the church. This is a class that meets for a week and teaches Shuar pastors and leaders basic health facts. It is five weeks total and this is the fifth week. The weeks are spread out over a few months. I helped today to read the material in Spanish. Some words are hard enough in English!!!!! The classes are from 8:30-5;00 with a break for lunch and a break before and after. Next week we will have Bible School classes begining also. So it will be a great time to get to know the Shuar pastors better and really build relationships with them.

PRAYER REQUESTS
A friend told me that a friend of many at Campbellsville University passed away on Saturday. She is a MK who went home during Christmas to Africa and contracted Malaria. She died on Saturday from Malaria. Her name is Lori Morrison. Please pray for the Morrison family.

ALSO
Please pray that God would give me creative ideas for Kid´s Church and that I would be able to meet the challenges of having 4 and 5 year olds in the same class with 12 and 13 year olds

AND
That everything would come together for the ESL classes to begin in May. (ESL=English as a Second Language)
