What a Blessed Day!

Hi! I'm off to bed soon so this will be short, but I had to share my great day!
Today was such an answer to prayer over and over again. First up I had a fabulous class in the morning and my students had tonnes of questions, which is VERY unusual. I ended up staying 20 min after class (in their break time) answering all sorts of random questions about volcanoes. Ok, so some were a little off topic, but mostly they were good. :o)
When I went to school after lunch I had a great time chatting with many students who are really starting to accept me and just count me as part of their crowd. There was a visiting school for sports so we played our first netball game.

Man! If you've ever seen a game between the Ferns and the Aussies and thought that was tough... wait till you see a game in Kahunda! Somewhere along the way someone forgot to tell these girls it's a non-contact sport! Crazy! Anyway, we lost by only one goal which isn't too bad considering we just started getting organised (and no-one decided to inform me we would be playing a game today!). So all up not bad. I managed to ref the game without dropping dead from the heat (they play with only one ref) so that was a pretty good achievement. Also, the rough play (understatement of the year!)gave me a good chance to chat to the girls about fair play and representing Christ in all we do. That chat is yet to come though, something to pray about please!

It was also a good opportunity for some of the teachers there to see me in my element and I think it's the first time they've seen a Mzungu female teacher involved with sport, so it helped with relationships with some of the staff which have been challenged over the last while.

Then...nope that's not the end of my good day... Margaret showed up to come and tell me I have a work permit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So yeah, that was pretty cool and such an answer to prayer....
But wait...there's more.

After the football match (which we drew) I had a chance to catch up with some students and ended up having the best opportunity to witness to one of the young guys. The poor guy is searching, but just is not seeing faith in people's lives and so doesn't really understand why he should follow any of the religions he can see. But yet, God is working because he is looking and asking so that was really neat and I'll definitely be catching up with him again. Unfortunately he had to go and so did I, but maybe it was good to give him some time to reflect and me some time to pray before carrying on with next steps.

So yeah... that was a pretty neat day. Oh and Andy and Thor came back from Mwanza and brought me chocolate so that really did top of an amazing day. :o) Praise God!
