Mabatini

This morning, Leann and I ventured out to Mabatini and taught classes 2-4 at the school. We had them all as a group first for personal/oral hygiene and then taught class 4 only on nutrition. It was a blast, especially when we made up a song on the spot for the nutrition presentation. We plan to go back on Tuesday morning to finish up with the nursery and pre-unit classes.

For the rest of the day, Leann and I explored Village Market, which is a muzungu hub of activities. They have a nice food court and also plenty of shopping. It was quite relaxing, but what we were really doing was wasting time until it was cool enough to run at this amazing golf course near Kiambu, where we live. The golf course and hotel is called Windsor. Here is a photo I found online just to give you all an idea of how ritzy it is. Leann and I explored this property too and ran some of the trails they have. It was a fun adventure-filled afternoon.

So I don't remember if I mentioned this in my last blog, but this coming Tuesday I will be leading a bible study at Babdogo for the community group. I am super excited, and a little nervous! Obviously there is going to be a language barrier since they all don't understand English very well, but I am confident that the Holy Spirit will still move. In the group of about 15, only 3 or so have decided to be saved. Robert, the main CHE worker who has led this group told me then to focus on simple topics concerning salvation, prayer, or love, etc. I chose the passage in Luke 11 where Jesus is teaching his disciples to pray and then gives the parable of the bold neighbor who asks his friend for food in the middle of the night. I believe the Babadogo members will be able to relate and connect to this lesson. So I am praying that God speaks through me instead of my own words and I would greatly love it if you could pray for the lesson and the hearts of those who will hear it as well! They need encouragement and protection from Satan's lies. They are already so motivated to change the present circumstances, so why not empower them even more by teaching them about prayer!

Thank you so much for your prayers so far, and I can't say enough just how much it means to me that I have had the opportunity to be here! I looks forward to finishing strong and getting as much out of these last two weeks as I can :) Blessings on your weekend!
