Today was my first day visiting the schools. I joined the rest of the
team in El Salvador Saturday
night after 12 weeks of intense army training. It was a bit of a
difficult transition, going straight from military life to a Christian missions
trip, but today I was finally starting to feel settled.
So,
thinking about how scared I used to be of public speaking, it seemed crazy to
me today when I stood in front of the class with no idea of what I was going to
say. I started talking, and completely trusted God to speak through me, and it
went well. Afterwards, I knew that God had led it in the direction he wanted.
The
principal of the school asked us to stay longer, so we also led the classes in
the "trust fall" activity and handed out Bible verse promises. Some
of the kids really seemed to respond well to us being there.
We left the
school, drove back to San Salvador, went out for dinner at Bennigan's, and then
had our nightly meeting. It was a great end to the day, and it's so awesome to
be back in El Salvador doing missions work! I'm excited for the rest of the
week.
