The day of our one month anniversary started off early in the morning with Circle. Circle is a 7am (or sometimes earlier) gathering of the kids where they sing and have a mini bible study. We began our first day in the schools. Terrez works in "el colegio" (the middle school) and I work in "la escuela" (the elementary school). Right now we are assisting the volunteers who are teaching English. The younger kids that I help with were pretty rowdy, but manageable.
Our theme for the mission trip that God gave us is "Stretch." And so far, He's been doing just that. Working in a school is not something that I'm used to or ever imagined doing. In this educational system, the staff highly suggest being tough, but that's really hard when I don't know all the words to say. So, I have to depend on God to provide the words to say. And that goes beyond the walls of the classroom. In all situations God has to be the one to speak through me.
