first week back

Well back in the swing of things here in Accra. I can't believe how much I missed these students. The love that I have for my students grows more and more everyday. I couldn't wait to get back into school and see my students. This past week has been amazing my students are awesome. I have come back to now 14 students instead of 15 . I am sad to see one of them not return but I love to see how God has influenced my class.

It goes back to Wednesday. Before we left for break we were learning about prayer. So after break we put into practice what we learned and we set out to pray for each classroom in our school. We also prayed for each other. Part of our exercise was for them to write down a couple of prayer request that I could pray for them and a bunch of them prayed that the student that wasn't coming back would come back safely. At this time they did not know he was going to be back I had just found out the day before and was not sure how to tell them. This broke my heart knowing that he was not coming back but knowing that these students were praying for him. It is amazing how these students have made the choice to pray for their classmates. After Bible on Thursday they had some specials and other classes and then after lunch we sat down as a class and I told them that their classmate was not coming back. We as a class made some encouragement cards to send to him and every morning we take time out of praying for our class to pray for this student. God is working in this classroom.
