Here are Clay and Em in their school uniform. Behind them are children playing on the playground. Our daily routine has become:8:30 Clay and Jeff to school. I go with Em to Jeff's class (Moral Science).
9:00 I go to Amanda's class and help with any grading or class work that she needs.
10:00 Em and I go to the preschool and I read an English storybook to 4 different classes of kids.
12:30 I pick up Clay and the other KG boys who live at the children's home. We have a "playgroup" and do homework, play games, etc.
2:00 Lunch, help boys with homework.
4:00 Jeff makes chipati.
5:00 Jeff plays volleyball, I play cricket or other games, Clay and Em run around with boys.
7:00 Devos. with the boys in different houses.
7:30 Dinner, help with homework.
9:00 Sing, pray, and put boys to bed.
9:30 Sleep.
The days and weeks seem full and are going by quickly. This morning I read this in my Amy Carmichael devotional. May it bless you like it did my soul:
"This is a new day for you, but He who loves you meets you at the gate of the day, and at the gate of the new month, and He says, "Fear not, the Lord will give you strength; the Lord will bless you with peace (Ps.29:11)." Happy February!

Hey, sweet one...you are a treasure. Thanks for sharing glimpses into this crazy journey you're on! Your words are challenging and encouraging all at the same time.
I think and pray for you everyday.
So what is the time difference? It says you posted at 2 am. Your time? Ours? We would love to think about you during the day and be able to specifically pray about what you are doing in the moment.
Sounds like a normal day here...:) Except the food:) Sounds very structured which must be nice. So glad the kids are doing well.
hey, thanks for posting this! now i'll know where you are when i'm leaving work at midnight my time. so good to see clay & emma's smiles, and know that the adjustment progresses :) you have undertaken a monumental and, to our culture's standards, heroic task - praying for strength & grace to endure & enjoy.
love, jj

We think of you all often. Piper prayed for Clay and Emma a few days ago, so sweet. You are not forgotten and we lift you up often in thoughts and prayers. I love Amy Carmichael, what a great gift to have her book there! May He speak through her words.
