Hello~ I think that I am beginning to feel more encouraged. I have been home sick much of this past week, but I am beginning to feel more encouraged. I will start teaching thr Primary school English classes. This includes students in 1st through 6th grade. Majority of these students do not know any English. I have a really large challange before me, but I know that God would not require something of me that I would be uncapable of doing. Someone recently told me that I need to have my heart guarded from the mean comments and gestures that some of the children may say to me, but on the other hand I need to have an open and loving heart. As humans we are the same way to God, we say or do things that hurt him, but he still loves us and would never turn him back on us. I had a great afternoon on Sunday. I was able to take on of my friends Angie to lunch up at the store. She is an older girl that has always been a good friend, and has such a big heart. I was so happy that I could do something special for her, because I know she has had a rough life. On Sunday night one of the girls killed a tarantula outside of our house. I had never seen one before sunday night, and they are not cute. I hope I never come into contact with anymore tarantulas. The rest of this week will be interesting. Please pray that I will have lots of patients with these students and also that they will have patients with me! God Bless! Lindsey

Oh Linds! We are soo happy to hear you are doing soo well and being a light for so many others. Keep up your great work. We love you and are praying for you daily. I bought you a post card the other day but realize I won't send it (It would cost too much in postage!) It had Ps.46:1-3 on it: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
You are awesome! Remember, God is the only strength you need and we all love you very very much!

Awesome thoughts Linds! Your absolutely right...the compassion in Gods heart towards humanity petitions us to come alive in the world! For me sometimes I dont know how to consistently do life in this place of undiluted compassion, but in this moment, it feels worth giving my life to learn it. Thanks for reminding me of that today! You rock.
Hi Lindsey,
I was just thinking about you and saying a prayer. I hope you are doing well. I know you are working so hard. I love you and God does too!
