Saturday, January 5

Today was pretty great. We started the morning off with running a few errands. We walked out to the main road and got onto a rickshaw. It was my first time riding a rickshaw and it was actually pretty fun. It was kind of like riding a really fat motorcycle, swerving in between other cars. We picked up arts and craft supplies for the day school and some other things. We went to KFC for lunch and had a slightly better experience than last time. When we were done eating, I went to throw out my garbage and stack my tray. The KFC worker just stared at me with a huge smile on her face. I guess that they clear the tables here for you, and I just helped her out a little bit. Before we got a rickshaw home, we stopped and finally bought dust masks.

Back at home, I worked on preparing for my first week teaching Bible in the school. I was cutting things out, prepping for crafts, writing lesson plans, and listening to a lot of music.

Around 5:30, Mrs. Coelho and I heading out for Outreach. We got a rickshaw to take us to meet with some others at a body members house. P. Anil shared a word, we had some coffee, tea, sandwiches, and then headed out for evangelism. Mrs. Coelho and I stuck together. We were able to talk to a few people. One girl we met was so sweet and had never heard of Jesus. She was just so open and receptive to what we had to say. It really really meant a lot to me and reminded me of my purpose here. It reminded me that there are so many people out there that have no idea who Jesus is and what He did for us. I was really thankful to be with Mrs. Coelho during that time. I think that I can really learn from her and become more confident in sharing the gospel with others.
