June 20, 2009 7:46 am

I just finished my QT over Acts 8 and I'm getting ready to head downstairs for breakfast. I need to do some laundry today so that i have clean clothes for the first of next week.

The computer at the orphanage has a virus so we are going to the computer cafe to connect today. It kind of stinks because we have to go as a group. I'm getting on for an hour tonight and an hour tomorrow evening.

The plan is to play some organized games with the older orphans today. We learned some at orientation that we are going to teach them.

I'm up to 9 verses now and it is starting to get more challenging to remember them with accuracy. Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Romans 10:14, Acts 20:24, Jeremiah 6:16, Hebrews 13:7, James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 1:6-7, and 1 John 1:9.

10:50 am

Just discovered that I had $300 stolen from me. Ate Aia found 5,000 pesos ($100) on one of the orphans and knew it was not his. He is older, 13 or 14, and has a reputation of stealing. He traded the $300 on the street for 6,000 pesos ($120) and spent 1,000 pesos. I'm upset with myself that I left the money out and caused the situation. I won't go into detail about his punishment but it is severe. Pray that I get a chance to let him know that I forgive him and that God works good into this situation.

  1. Sean, this is Rich Smith, I hope everything is going well. I just want you to know that we are praying for you and that we miss you. It sounds like from your experiences that you could now teach any 7th grade class. Keep doing what you are doing, I know it cannot be easy. We miss you....

  2. hey Sean, it's Joel speaking on behalf of the 7th grade boys SS class. As much as we're enjoying Rick, we all really miss you. We're praying for you every class, and I'm praying for you every day. I would hope we all are. If I could say anything, for some reason, I want to thank you. For what, I'm not sure, but thanks!
