A Lesson for me

Today I saw so clearly the reason why a class like this from New Tribes Mission (Chronological Bible study) is so important......step by step laying a foundation on which the truth of the Word can be explained beginning at the beginning with God alone. We are on Lesson 11 a review of God, Satan, and Man..... I'm finding out the translation in Ikinyrwandan has major problems. A lady read from Col. 1: and it stated that Jesus was created. The meaning of the verse was not made clear at all. So we drill and drill on the attributes of God as seen in His creating the world and all. This includes His Triune "ity" (Let US make man in OUR own image)! Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscience all these words the young people are getting! It's just such a joy to have such eager learners......I just can't express what an honor this is be here with them.
Rabbits are going to be my reward for persevering throughout the summer in class. So! I'm looking for the cage materials cheap. I have found one source of rabbits and will be needing gunny sacks to hand them out! I know this all may sound so foreign to many of you back home but it could really be a way to provide a source of income to many. They can sell them! Or trade or just eat them (we've been eating rabbit for dinner, now and then, and it tastes like chicken.)
Just consider these young people.....ages 19-22 They have a lot of time on their hands! One girl is still in high school....but the others are done with school, except wishing for university level classes which are out of reach. I long to do SOMETHING!!!!
Want to help? We need 40,000F for the rabbits (that's $80.) I'm thinking the cage materials will be a bit more. I'm also thinking I won't have them made as that will increase the cost too much. Pastor Clement thought they would all know how to make a cage.........we will have to see about that. His daughter Olivia raises rabbits herself!
On Sunday evening, I was taken to an English speaking service at Evangelical Restoration Ministries somewhere downtown. It was great to hear a pastor speak about the body of believers, the gifts to the church we each bring for His glory. Songs were all in English too....pretty neat!
Alfred was surprised to hear that I drive in US all the time. We talked about me driving here. I said I didn't think I should!! The more I think about it the more I'd like to ......but only over by the ERM office and only to church at Africa New Life and the market. I don't think Pastor E. will let me use his car however, and really when I think about it more I wonder WHAT AM I THINKING!!!! The roadway rules are VERY different here!
I am trying to get pictures up but am experiencing difficulty....hummm! Not sure why but sorry.
