Day 3 - Put Your Flexible Hat On

Two words, ohmygoodnes thatwasanawesomeday!

We started out with more questions than we had answers for. Blessings to Becky and Mickey (our co-leaders) for working the logistics, but even though you plan and plan and plan for the work to do, India has a way of slapping you in the face to change it all.

Some advice to any future overseas workers, make sure to put your flexible hat on daily, and add a change of underpants in your backpack for the bus rides (the traffic is mind-boggling).

We finally got our hands dirty today with some teaching. We have two teams of eight people. We then divided each team into two groups of four to teach bible lessons, memory verses, and a health and hygiene curriculum to four classes of roughly 30 students each. The verse for today is:

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. ~ Psalms 139:14

We also taught students about germs and how they can spread to cause disease. We showed them how to prevent spread with proper hand washing and minimal water usage.

It's been a long day and tomorrow's even longer. We will teach classes again, and additionally teach nearly the same curriculum to adults in the evening. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Blessings to you all.
