Favorite picture of the day <3


my 3rd grade class.

 (ps. look at THAT sky!!)

my second grade class
I thought I could write text before that pictures after I upload them but I can't.
so here. 
wow these last two days have been so wonderful. 
yesterday:
yesterday was Wednesday. It was my day to help Pastor William in the church office. It was good. I helped Maggie (Pastors wife) organizing the papers, folders and books on the bookshelf. Then we went and looked the Greenhouse! WHOA! its so awesome! I loved it. Then we went back to the office and we have a prayer/worship meeting. whoa. I loved it! what an incredible experience! the whole room was completely filled/stuffed/blanketed with the Holy Spirit. It was beautiful. Then Maggie, Pastor William, Pastor Benjamin, and I all went to Pastor Williams house and made lunch together! oh man. I loved it. SO much laughing and joy. It was my favorite moment thus far. I love them alot. 

today:
whoa. Today was Thursday. It was my day to go to school. I dont think I can fully convey how wonderful today was. I went to school and I observed again (because I am so nervous and also I do not know exactly what to teach yet). All of the kids are beyond precious and beyond what I can even handle! At lunch time, I spent the whole time on the field with the kids. I took pictures, laughed, held hands, and laughed some more. I loved today. These kids are wonderful. Since its Thursday, after school they have game day, oh man! The boys (and male teachers) played soccer! OH MAN ARE THEY GOOD!!! (I was jealous!) Then Teacher Mwende (me) and all of the girls and smaller boys played....well something like "Only throw the ball to Teacher Mwende"....I did not understand this game but attempted to throw it to a different person each time. haha. If you have come to Masii before and recognize the scene of 10 kids running around with 8 Mazungus, imagine 20 little children running AT and WITH one single Teacher Mwende...oh Lord. It was perfect.
Today was perfect. 
I cant wait until Tuesday when I have more time with these children who have literally stolen my heart.

God is good. 
<3
(these are just some of my favorites from today....I ended up taking 60 pictures today!!)

  4. Hey Emily.....I think that what you are doing (or what God is doing through you) is wonderful. I have a feeling that there will be many crowns of blessing waiting for you. We are praying for God to keep you safe while doing His work. We also pray that your mom and dad are comforted while you are away.

    In His Service

    Theresa and Celina Chumacero :)
