Yesterday was my first day teaching in Warman! I was a little nervous to drive this far by myself, but it went well!
Here’s the update from yesterday’s clubs:
Club 1: There were eight kids, so that’s good! All churched kids who did pretty well at answering questions in the Bible stories. Pray that they would be enthusiastic! It was a little bit hard to keep them engaged and they weren’t that thrilled about singing. Pray that I’d be able to make friends with them and connect with these kids.
Club 2: Yesterday there were no kids at this one, so pray that some would come today! The hostess and I are hopeful. I left after about half an hour and spent some time praying for the kids who live in that neighborhood, that God would draw them to the house where the club is. So for this club, pray that God would bring kids!
Club 3: This ended up being a really good club, despite not the best start. I thought I had left enough time to drive to Saskatoon, but then there was some construction and traffic, and then I made two wrong turns… I got there about 15 minutes late. It was at a church, which was good, because it was raining, and there were about 30 some African kids! It was really cool! Kaitlyn, who is staying at the same billets as I am but teaching different clubs had come, which was good because I really needed help taking getting all their names and giving kids packages! With that many kids most were listening and I knew some weren’t but I went with it and they enjoyed the stories and songs and I still managed to finish on time! Not sure what that says about my story telling skills, though I did get the point accross and three kids accepted Christ! Praise the Lord! Those were my first in club decisions, so that was exciting!
For this club, pray that I would be able to handle the administration details! These kids almost all have African names that I can hardly say, let alone spell, let alone remember! It’s going to be interesting trying to make sure they all get the right lessons and prizes! This club is super fun though, and I think it’s a real blessing to me to have a large club with excited kids.
That’s all for now! Sometimes the summer ahead (or week) seems so long. Continue to pray that I would have joy in doing the Lord’s work!
