Sorry I forgot to publish this...
Today I was in a BAD mood, lack of sleep is taking a toll on me. I had really bad allergies and kept waking up, the weather is much colder this year and I haven't packed enough winter clothes to keep me bundled up.
This morning I got to work with two sweet girls with their English. I also worked on a prayer box for each one. It was a cool activity that I am glad I spent the money on. 87 Altoids = $105.00, so I am SUPER grateful that the kids liked it.
We also went to another favella today called Villa Rosa, no classes or bible study only home visits. It was pretty evident to everyone around that I was not in a good place due to the lack of sleep. However, I got asked to come to a one-on-one bible study for a lady. The woman used to have a rough past, drugs, fights, etc. However, she connected with the ministry when they came to do agiatas for the kids. She saw that the ministry really cared for her kids and became interested in the church Restoration Ministries partners up with. She came to church and later accepted Christ, and was baptized. She has made amazing changes in her life, she is one of the most well known helpers to the church and her children have big smiles on their faces. The hardest part of this change has been that her "so-called friends" don't believe she really changed. Her husband did not like her going to church and was even telling her he wouldn't allow it. She asked the ministry what to do and they told her to pray and that they didn't want to hurt her marriage. A few days later her husband told her that she could go to church, that he was ok with it. Ever since then she just dived into Gods word. Her husband doesn't go to church with her but we are all praying that he will. I told her about my life and my husband. I told her that I know we were suppose to meet tonight.
Later that night I taught a conversation class reviewing some of the grammar rules. I had fun and the day ended well.
