Only one Week!

The fact that I have only been here for one week is unbelievable! So much has happened. First before I begin, let me give you two definitions. Karansi: this is the village where Perimeter goes and where I have spent most of my time. That is where the school that Perimeter has helped is located. Joshua is a teachers training college where all the teachers from Karansi went to get their education. I started out at Karansi and it was like seeing old friends. My time there was so good. I traveled there with another team. We visited children and widows and I got an update on the status of the school. We traveled to go and visit some widows in Karansi. This helped me get a better idea of how big this village is. The population is only about 2000 but it is spread out quite far. We had to travel by car and then the road ended so we had to go up over a couple of "hills" and climb down a path to go visit these sweet women. They live in huts with a dirt floor. They are providing for families without a husband. When we asked how one of the widows was doing, she replied, "Great, I have all that I need." What a perspective! Have I ever said that? I have so much more "stuff" than she does, but I think she might have much deeper understanding of what a need really is and what it means to depend on God. I am at Joshua now. The students here are wonderful. I was just able to watch four of them get baptized. How amazing! I am living in a home with two other girls, one from Australia, the other from the U.K.. They are wonderful. I am really enjoying my time here. I am learning so much! I am so overwhelmed by God's goodness. I am having a hard time uploading pictures. I am not sure why. I will post some as soon as I can. Love to you all!
