2 weeks in!

My time here is flying by! I feel like I've been here for a year and also like I've been here for a day. But I'm 1/4 done with my time here, and that's weird too.

I've now been in Logos Christian school for a week and a half, and will be there for two more days before I move to a different school in Kawangware. I'm also starting to experience different grades and classes, which has been nice. I will be in a class 8 on Friday, teaching science (eek). This morning I was in a different school with Emily, teaching Bible in a class 8 public school.

On Sunday we (Emily, Mark, Jerry, and I [Mark and Jerry are interns at Nairobi Chapel]) went to the Global Gospel Assembly in Uhuru park downtown, which was cool. Daniel Kolenda, part of Christ for All Nations, was preaching to the 220,000 people in the park. He prayed for healing over the crowd and then had testimonies come forward from people who have been healed (this has been going on all week.) We heard from a woman who was cured of AIDs, of someone who received sight, and from a woman healed of breast cancer! The crowd was going crazy, but we didn't get to stay and hear more-- it was getting dark and we needed to get home.

Sunday morning I helped in the Sunday School class-- it's a little different from Lighthouse, which I'm used to. There were 42 kids in the class I was in charge of, and the tent we were in was prone to birds wandering in. I can deal with kids, but that many 4-5 year olds made me crazy.

I'm excited for the exposure to a public school which I get starting next week. I've also learned a bit about Special Education and what they call "Special Schools" here-- and I want to learn more. Most schools will turn away a student with disabilities, and Special Schools are not a place any parent would want their child. Logos has some special ed students, and those students are generally in the classroom (they use an immersion-type learning) but have a few hours in a special ed setting each week.

Prayer points: My stomach decided to throw a temper tantrum on Monday. It's ok now, but I'm being careful about what I eat. I also want to be able to explore Special Education more here and how it is handled. If you would pray that I could see what these children suffer through, that would be incredible.
