Hey Everyone!
I hope everything is going well at home. Sorry I have not written this month. We have been in a small farming village in Southern Cambodia called Ampil Village. We have spent the last couple weeks teaching english to the children in the village. It has been a really cool experience, the children are so eager to learn. My first class of the day is 9-12 year olds. They are so adorable. I have an all girls class that are 13-16 and a boys class that is 16-20 year olds. Uee, our contact, has taken me to several high schools to teach some classes as well, which has been neat. We have been able to share our testimonies, teach the children some Christian songs and I even preached the sermon for church last sunday.
Jeff you would be proud I have been running a lot which has felt really good. We finally have time off this month to provide some balance in our lives. We have most the morning off to have quiet time, worship, pray, and work out. I have a jumprope, resistance band and running shoes so I am good to go.
I needed to get an email from our squad leader about ministry contacts next month so I had to come into Phnom Penh. This will be the last time I get internet this month though because I had to ride into town on the back of a scooter on a dirt road for 3 hours 🙂
I know I will not receive a response from this till I have internet again on Feb 5thish but I want to know what each of your prayer requests are because I want to be praying specifically for each of you daily.
My particular prayer requests this month are: for continual guidance as a leader, that God will give me words for friends back at home, for creativity ways to include God in the teaching so the children will be exposed to who Jesus really is, unity as a team, that God will clearly show our team where we are supposed to serve next month, continual discernment for what God has in store for me after the race.
I love you all so much!
Josh
