I had a rough night and did not sleep very well. Right now I have a lot on my mind. A few days ago Lana shared Psalms 20 with me and I make that my prayer today.


8:39 pm

I just tried balot. It wasn't all that bad but I don't think I'd choose to eat it again. The liquid in the egg tasted like a warm chicken broth and the bones and feathers were a little weird. Now I'm supposed to try chicken head and pig intestines. I think I'm going to wait a week or two before I do that...

My first Christian education classes went really well. The kids are kind of rowdy but they are eager to learn. I discovered that I need to start with the basics at the beginning because they have zero knowledge. I have 22 in my 1st years class and 30 in my second years class. The kids that I know from the orphanage really helped me out.

My morning didn't start well but fortunately I have a God that is bigger than all my problems and worries. As I continue building relationships with these kids and learning their stories, I begin to wonder how I will ever tell them goodbye at the end of the summer. Fortunately, God is in control when I feel lost.
