Hey Everybody! Today was another full day. We did alot of stuff, and my heart was made full.
This morning we were able to give our testimony of how God has been changing our lives in the last couple years, and about why we came to Madagascar. I shared a bit about how God had guided us through our miscarriage, giving us strength and hope from James chapter 1. (Go read it now- God is so awesome.)
We were able to share with 90 students (18-27 years old). Some of them are Muslim, some Catholic, some ancestor worship, and some Christian. They had great questions at the end of each class period. Out of that, there were 3 students who expressed a great interest in an Illustration class, which I will hold at 3 p.m. everyday that we have classes. (Tuesday-Friday) Please pray for my students Mohammed, Benjamin and Ilyani. I have been told that Mohammed is a devout Muslim, but I don't know about Benjamin and Ilyani yet. I am praying that in this class they will learn how to draw, and God will draw close to them and dramatically change their lives. Pray for me too, I have never taught art before, but I am excited about it. Our first class was today- it went really well. They want me to teach them how to draw people, about different styles of illustration, and also how to photograph stuff for reference to draw.
Brad had a good class today, too. It is still somewhat frustrating to have a French version of an old VB program, but they are pushing through it.
Tonight we went out to eat at this really cool restaurant that had a swimming pool. The kids loved the swimming, even Nickolas splashed around and laughed. We had a great meal there- I had chicken breast with a vanilla white sauce. It cost us about the same as going to Culvers, but in the States it probably would have been about $75-$80.
That was today. SUPER DAY. I am so glad we are here. You have no idea. God is so good. Please, please tell everyone you know about Him. Once your in heaven, it will be too late. Today's a good day.
By the way, I found out for certain today that there are parts of Madagascar that have never been visited by anyone with the Gospel. These areas are so remote, you can only get to them by boat or helicopter. Who will be first? Is it you?
