Yesterday

Yesterday was church and again some of the boys borrowed my camera and this is what I found afterward...Its actually one of my favorite things now because they've actually become pretty good photographers....

After church was study time at the coffee shop for some of the Oasis boys who have exams coming up.

Martin & Johnstone working hard...



Since Im no good at anything other than elementary math, Allison tutored the class 6 & 7 boys and I focused on times tables with Evans



Allison was so proud, they did so well. We're still waiting on the results...

This morning we did more interviews with the kids from Oasis that are enrolled in school to update their progress. I love getting to conduct and be a part of the interviews because we get to know the kids better, but sometimes Im not prepared for what Im actually going to hear from them... There were some incredible stories this morning that broke my heart to think of these amazing kids having to go through. A couple of girls I interviewed couldn't even talk about their past it upset them too much. They didn't even want to think about what their life used to be like.

Unfortunately, I had to leave early to go teach my first Geography class. I was glad to go because I really enjoy the high school, Gilgol, but I hated having to leave in the middle of the interviews...


Today was the day for my first high school geography class, that actually ended up turning into a Geology class...I can't say that I was all that confident in my ability to teach Geology since I hadn't studied it since I was in 8th grade...

Some of the students from Gilgol...


This is Ben & Christine who run the school...They and their ministry are truely amazing


This is Silas and I think he's just great



Christine loved taking this picture, she said its like "opposites with the whitest standing next to the blackest!" Hahaha
