This trip has been absolutely life changing. I feel like God has completely transformed my heart for Him since I have been in Kenya. I want to share with you all an amazing way that I have seen God work. Every morning, Monday through Thursday, I go to Adventures School and tutor three sixth grade students in English, Science and Math. Wednesday and Thursdays are our Math days and Math is by far the subject that they struggle the most in. With Science and English, the schools are able to adapt them to their culture and every day life, but with Math, you know it or you don't. It has proved to be a challenge with one student especially. When I first met with him last week, I was so discouraged. He didn't seem to grasp any of the concepts I was teaching him. I was really dreading having to do Math this week and I have to admit, my attitude was not optimistic. Wednesday morning, I just laid it all at Christ's feet. I poured my heart out to Him and asked Him for patience and guidance. That day, the lesson was about cubes and the different properties of them. God totally gave me an amazing illustration using a brick and I saw my students grasp onto it. My heart was soaring!I was so excited to see that I had gotten through and that they were learning. I know to some this may seem like a small thing, but when you see how these people live, you understand that education is their hope for making a decent life for themselves. It is the difference between clean water and contaminated, going hungry or having food on the table, a one room shack or a small home. This is their reality and it was an honor for me to help someone take one step closer to that. We are seeing improvement every day, but please remember the students in your prayers. We want to see them not just succeed, but excel.
