This last week I was in Shuili, teaching a five-day English camp. It was a tough week for me, because I have always taught to more advanced kids, but this time, I was in charge of 11 late-beginner students. It gets frustrating when you can’t communicate with the kids, and they do not want to listen because they do not understand. But the Lord helped me through the week, and I learned a lot. You just have to get back up and try again whenever you fall...I made mistakes, but I learned through the problems and by the end of the camp I felt much more comfortable. I led my group of kids in a skit at the camp presentation. They acted out the story of the wise and foolish builders who built on the rock and the sand. The children did so well!! I was impressed by how it all turned out. And more importantly, they understood what the skit meant. They saw the truth of having a firm foundation. Please pray that the seeds planted in their hearts would fall on good soil, that it would grow, and that they would not leave behind the truth of the message they heard.
Today we moved to Taijung County, pretty far up into the mountains, to teach a couple camps here. Pray that we would be good witnesses of the gospel, and the US. There has never been any American teacher in this town. Everyone is very excited, and this could open many doors in Taijung County. There are seven of us who will be here for two weeks. May the Lord be glorified in all that we do here.
