For the past two weeks, Rusty traveled every day to a city a little over an hour north of here. Originally he was supposed to go for one week--then it increased to two--then they invited him for the third week. Unfortunately he wasn't able to go for the third week because they couldn't offer him a place to stay, and Rusty couldn't keep driving back and forth this week. It's certainly doable, but this week he needs the time for studying and preparing for next week's seminary classes.
He had a great time with the kids and teachers. The kids wanted to take pics with him everyday and would follow him to the truck in the afternoons waving goodbye. He got to have some good conversations about Jesus with the teachers as they ate lunch together. Many were asking about the differences between the major religion here and Christianity. It's a good opportunity to talk about having a personal relationship with Jesus--repenting of sins and trusting Christ. It certainly explains one major difference.
Here are some pics of the kids. I wish I could show them all, but space probably wouldn't allow it.
Rusty's favorite uniform day of the week--we call this boy scout day.
Cleanup duty after lunch.
Teacher appreciation--the kids brought fruit and snacks, and the school presented Rusty with a certificate. The banana chips are the best, and the pork skins were great also. We still have plenty left if anyone wants to come over for a visit!
