Things continue to go very well here. I am already beginning my sixth week of teaching. It seems like just yesterday that I got here, even though it's been almost a month and a half! The missionary/volunteer team here is just great-- very supportive, loving, and talented. I think that makes the time go by so much faster. And my roommate and i get along great. There are also two other volunteer teachers right now. All four of us are single, twentysomethings with so much in common. It's going to be a great year. Praise God! Classes are also going great. There are only two more weeks remaining in this term. Then we have a three week break before starting up again. The schedule is already put together for the coming term and I will be teaching 10 classes, up from my current load of 7. Some of my classes are new for me next term, but many are similar or the same so the time needed for preparation is going to be much less. My Christian conversation with Taw is also going great. I gave him his first Bible two weeks ago and he is faithfully reading the book of Mark. He continues to slowly grow and learn in his new faith. Please continue to pray for him. Pech, another student of mine, attended Journey Into Light Chruch yesterday with her husband! This was a big step for her. It has been difficult for her to worship because her husband is a devout Buddhist. She indicated to me in class on Saturday that God had answered her prayers because her husband had no qualms about her coming to church here. In fact, he wanted to join her. Please pray for both Pech and her husband. "If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:11)
