Meanwhile, Matt is three days into teaching his "Isaiah" course with the fourth year. It has been going REALLY well, his best teaching experience yet. He's having a blast, and the guys are really getting into the material. Matt feels like he's been able to be learning and studying Scripture alongside of them and guiding them in it's interpretation and meaning, instead of "lecturing" on the material.
I also had a really good class on Thursday...first year is really beginning to dive into English, and we're continuing to have really good mostly English conversations about the Lord in each of their lives and in Haiti. I am going to miss them!!! I've promised them that in January I'll be "half" the professor I am now :)
I have finally finished preparing 2 months worth of "sub" work for this class, and have all of my marketing materials packed and planned for. Living and ministering here has definitely been a two person partnership for Matt and I, even in the day-to-day, and we're not looking forward to going it apart these next three weeks.
I've tried to cover meals, meetings, and to-do lists as well as possible, but we're both realizing these next weeks are going to take a large amount of prayer and reliance on the Lord. Please be praying for Matt, especially, as he continues to teach Hebrew, Isaiah, weekly prayer meetings, do all of his weekly ministry and take care of the house/food/laundry, etc...by himself! His dad and brother are coming next week, which will help immensely!
Sunday we are going to be visiting a student's church that was recently robbed with some of the students, way out in the middle of nowhere. We've never been there before, and are both looking forward to it. Then Monday morning after I teach, Matt will give his guys a quiz and run me to the airport! Ah, how time flies! Thank you for your prayers!
