Kids and more kids

Waking up this morning was a little tough. I've got a feeling every morning is going to be like this. Minus that, I was able to get up and around 7am the team headed to our first clinic of the day at Greendale Primary School. Leewa's kids go to school here. Leewa was sharing that the principal was a strong Christian and that some mothers of the school would get together during the week to pray for the youth. They have done this for two years just to have an opportunity to come into the schools and befriend the students. This again showed me that God is faithful to answer prayers if you continually ask Him.

In the morning we had 4 classes to run clinics for. Me and Bryce were teamed up again and talked about the value of teamwork with the students. Primary school students are by far my favorite to work with. My dad teaches that grade and the kids are always so excited and willing to learn so it was always encouraging. They also love to say the 's' word which was hard not to laugh at but what can you do :) One class had 120 students which meant 30 kids at each station which made us work a little bit but in the end we got through it.

We had a break between the 3rd and last class and got to meet the principal. She was way more humble than Simon from Henderson Secondary and I could tell she had a huge heart for God and His work. We had snacks that were amazing then headed back upstairs for our last clinic of the day before heading over to the international school where Dave and Caleb used to go to.

At ICS, everyone was super welcoming. Bryce and Tim had the chance to share a little with the school during there chapel time which was really encouraging and something I think the international and missionary students needed to hear. After they were done sharing we had the chance to play there high school team. We were able to win which was nice but the floor was something else. Those of you at OSU that have helped out with porta floor, the floor was basically that. I got a pretty nice floor burn as a souvenir because of it.

If there was one thing I have learned on this trip is that you always need to be ready to share because plans change like crazy. Dave the night before asked Ryan on the team if he would be willing to share with the ICS players, but when we got done with the game Dave asked if I was ready. Kind of a shock but I always had something in mind. I shared my life verses with them and just told them to always delight in God and to trust in Him. I got to pray with them afterwards and I had multiple teachers come up and tell me that what I said really meant a lot. It wasn't my own strength but Gods so I was glad to help.

After ICS, we grabbed dinner then headed back to the headquarters at Pasir Ris for the evening. This trip is already going by so fast and I don't know what I am going to do when the time is up. I already love this place and really could see myself calling this home someday. God is in control so I can't determine anything but one thing is for sure I am having a blast being here and can't wait to see what else The Lord has in store!
