Water & Electricity

Over the last 2 1/2 weeks, I have become very thankful for water (dirty and clean) and electricity... and of course candles and flashlights when the electricity is off. We were without water for several days, which would have been fine except for the fact that we discovered it after I (Michael) had just played full court basketball, which let me tell you... quite an experience at 8,000 ft. when you're out of shape. My lungs were not happy! I guess God wanted to teach me some humility :) I have included a picture of our first lack-of-electricity experience--cleaning the kitchen in the dark.

Class has been going well. The students seem to be getting a lot out of the discussions and the notes. Some of the guys have read the books multiple times already. They are hungry. We're going over the doctrine of the Holy Spirit & the world of angels today and tomorrow. Next week I'll be teaching the doctrine of salvation, which I believe is the most important area that we will cover. Pray that I teach clearly. Sunday I am leading a discussion, at the church that we have been helping out, on David and courage. We've been doing character studies (Jonathan & Friendship, Barnabas & encouragement, Joseph & faithfulness so far).

Gina went to one of Mother Teresa's homes yesterday. It was a sobering experience. She'll write more about that and about her time with Women At Risk today.

I'll update the blog again tomorrow before we leave the city for a couple days.
