New Faces in New places
Yesterday I got the opportunity to share a little of my story and teach at the school.
I loved it. It was my first time teaching with out an interpreter. I taught once in Austria, but we had an interpreter. I always get a little nervous 30 minutes before, but once i get started and stop thinking about myself I have a great time. I think i love looking at the students sometimes more then teaching, watching their faces and wondering what they are receiving as they are hearing all these teachers. I taught on " changing our view of God", In John 14 it talks about how Jesus is in the Father, and we are in Jesus. So when God looks at us He see's Jesus. So if we are seeing ourselves defeated, then we are seeing God wrong. God is not defeated, He is victorious...and He is on the inside of us. So I really enjoyed sharing the Truth.
Today we have the full time and part time students get together. Not only as it be a blast, but an opportunity to get to know each other. Of course when everyone began to arrive, it was a little quiet and I wasn't sure how to get each of the students to get to know each other. BUT then worship began and the students were worshiping and dancing, and just loving Jesus. Afterward they put on skits ( which were so hilarious ), and sang songs. Then we all had a tea break. We had each student stand up and share a little about themselves as well. Afterwards we played a game, and then had some lunch. The day continued with fun activities and just getting to know each other. I had the best time watching the students bonding so quickly. In some of the pictures I took, the guys were holding hands. In India men are more affectionate towards each other, like brotherly love. It is really is a heart felt thing, we would hug and just share how we care for each other, that is what they do.
By the end of the day, everyone was tired but happy. It was a success, and full of memories. I have talked with a handful of people and each of them tell me to come back and be a missionary in India : ) I secretly love that idea... I find some places to be so different, but you still feel so at home.
