How Blessed Am I?

Today as I was teaching over 100 students about the good Samaritan and that we should love one another I become once again overwhelmed at the opporunity that I have been given! How blessed am I that I can teach God's little children about how much He loves them? So incredibly blessed! After I finished teaching those students, we went onto the next three classes! I taught over 500 students today and we were able to pray with them and teach them songs about how much God loves them... and it was all in their own language! It's overwhelming for me to think about how many children I am going to have the opporutnity to share the Good News with during my six months here. Take 500 students a day for 4 days every two weeks (the other weeks I do a returning session to children I teach every other week) time by 6 months! Wow what an opporutnity. God please use and guide me to tell these children exactly what you want them to know!
On another note, I can feel things changing around here. We are/I am going through a couple of changes here. Not only am I changing so much personally and spiritually, but I am also really really beginning to take ownership of this place (espeically since a guy from Ireland has come to work with me and I have been showing him around). As well, I am learning to become more independent with Liz being gone 3-5 days a week I have really been learning that my dependence is on the wrong thing. I have always depended on people and I am now learning to become more independant as I depend on the One who can truly sustain me! Other things that are changing include the weather. I am beginning to notice the fact that we do not have rain very often any more. Which means the beginning of dry season. The beginning of dry season is also really cold so I have been wrapped up in blankets and wearing socks! haha Not something I thought I would be doing in Africa! haha However, the second part of dry season becomes very hot so I should cherish this time while I can. The final big change that is taking place is a change of missionaries. There are a lot of missionaries that are beginning to count down their days. This is incredibly sad as I have grown to love all of them! However, I know that I will get to see them again!
