Day One

Our first day of Bible Foundations 101 took place yesterday! What a thrill! Even more wonderful was seeing some of the same orphan faces that I had worked with reading in these past two weeks! All are widows with many children and orphans that live in their home. The ages range from 50 to 40's. Then, there are the younger orphans, their average age is 20.
When I met the two Adelines I told them that my best friend Lianne is praying for them. One, the widow, started to cry. The other is a young woman I had met earlier. I remember her saying over and over that she wanted to go to America.
There are 4 orphan boys ages 19-22. One is Eric who I had reading with me to the younger orphans. He was very helpful and I was so happy to see him back! Eric was the name on my original list.....I just assumed all were widows but I was wrong! George (at home) is praying for this young man! He introduced himself as a bachelor! Everyone laughed and because of all my wedding experience lately, I mentioned he was waiting to get those cows!.....the other boys remarked," Yes, and a house, and an education and a job and a girl!" These are all out of reach for him at the moment.
This is why I'm still thinking about RABBITS!
I'm checking into the price of cages......
Could you please be praying about this also. I wanted to start a little bunny farm in the back of my ERM room.....see if they are as prolific as everyone says they are and then leave them with several of the students.... a pair for each student at least with a cage.
I think it's do-able!
ESL lessons will begin in earnest next week....Monday through Friday 4:00 to 6:30.
So, once I move to ERM office the mornings will be prep time and the day will begin in earnest at 2:00 for the BIBLE 101 class with ESL following.
I appreciate all you praying about all this! Thank you so much and God bless you this day with a glimpse of His wonderful mercy, grace and love!
