School has started!

Hello all! I have just finished my first week working at two high schools. It was a good week and a frustrating week all rolled into one. It is good to finally be working with the students and teaching the like skills material, but they can be kind of hard to keep behaved. A lot of these high schools here in my area, just don’t do to good of a job keeping their students under control. So a definite prayer request will be that I will be able to get through to the kids somewhat, and at the least the one’s who want to learn will not be distracted by the others. The kids do however like when I try to say some phrases in their language, they get a kick out of hearing my strange accent speak their language. Also pray for my spirits as I teach, I find myself getting discouraged when It seems like they could care less that I'm there. I had the opportunity to preach at a church here last Sunday. It went really well, It was a good experience for me. I also have been talking to an 18 year old boy that has been staying next to where I live. A couple nights ago I was able to lay out the whole plan of salvation with him. It was really awesome. He didn’t accept Christ that night, but it was great to see him process it all. He was struggling with how hard it would be for him to turn from his old ways. So he realized the cost of following Jesus. I really think he understood what I was telling him. I bough him a bible in his own language of Setwsana, and marked all the key salvation passages for him. I also showed him where the story of David and Goliath is. He had never heard the story before. The boys name was Christopher, and I don’t know if I will see him again, because he moved back to his own place, which is about a hour from me. I just thank God for giving me an opportunity to share with him, before he left. In two weekends we will be putting on a weekend camp for high school kids around this area, so if you are reading this you could pray for that as well. I hope you all are doing good back home, I miss you guys TONS...more then I thought I would. It gets tough here at times being kind of alone, and away from most of my team members. So a prayer concern that will be for the WHOLE time I am here is that God would just sustain and be my comfort in times of loneliness. .... I did however join a gym here and that has been a HUGE blessing, to be able to work out and kind of clear my mind at times. I love you all and appreciate all the prayer support you give; I wouldn't be here without you guys!!
