Hello again from Oh-io. So, last Sunday, I taught Sunday School for the first time ever. It was interesting. First off, I read the wrong chapter in preparation. So, that was fun. But on the bright side, I already know what I'm doing for this week's Sunday School :) It didn't go as badly as a imagined. God was definitely with me because when I was infront of all the kids (we have a decent number, so far all girls except for 1) I was not nervous at all. I was honest with them and I told them I had read the wrong chapter, but we'd get through it together. They didn't talk as much, and really aren't as interactive as I'd like, but I think they'll warm up to me. I made them laugh a few times at me with some comments I made, so that's a good sign. At times though I felt like I was boring them, which is one thing I dread. I'm not gonna kill myself to entertain them, but if they aren't bored, then they will add to the class a little more. That's my goal this week is to think of some way to make it a little more interesting.
I have Jr. High Bible study again tonight, maybe some kids will show up this time. It's hard to stay motivated when you don't have any kids wanting to be there. I think that we just might need to get the word out a little more.
The mission's trip is sneaking up on me. It's gonna be a crazy few days leading up to it. We have a meeting on Sunday night that will be pretty informational. I'm not crazy about having to drive down there, but I'm keeping it in my prayers. Well, that's all from here. Peace.

Sounds like you are having fun back home and learning alot about yourself. I am glad to hear that you are doing well teaching sunday school. I can see you being relaxed infront of the group like you said, you really don't get intimidated by many things. Know that I am praying for you here in WV and I hope that your Bible study picks up. I miss you Rachel!
