Since Maja is having some connectivity problems, I will pass
along a couple of items from our conversation this morning.
1. She is thankful to be living with Sarah. They get along
well and the house is adequate. Yesterday she supervised the installation of
some shelves in her bedroom. Now she can keep her clothes up off the floor,
which will prevent the cockroaches from nesting in them.
2. A young Korean girl has moved to Rwamagana as part of the
Korean version of Peace Corps. Her first task is to do intensive English
language study. Maja has become her teacher: the girl reads well, but has no
confidence in speaking. So Maja is very grateful for the training she received
from Dwight and Barb Gradin concerning how to use various parts of the mouth to
make word sounds. After one more week of this intense training, Maja will
remain her language mentor for the rest of her time in country.
3. There have been some surprises at school. One of the
teachers has been made “dean” of the faculty and has made changes to the
teaching rotations without consulting the headmistress or the teachers
involved. Maja and Sarah have managed to delay implementation until they are
able to have more discussion with him. So they’d like prayer for wisdom in
their deliberations and an ability to persuade him to organize the classes more
effectively.
Relying on your prayerful support,
Doug
We prayed for these concerns at our table this morning in Koinonian prayer time, and I added them to my prayer list for here at home too. Know that you are covered with prayer, dear brave friend!! Miss you!!
