I did not really travel anywhere the past four months. I got to be in Frydlant and do the routine thing. I actually enjoyed that for a change. Life has been busy. I have been spending every moment possible with the high school students. It has been great! we've been going ice skating almost every week, gone sledding a few times, and mostly just hung out and talked.
God has been giving me many opportunities to talk to them about different things. Lately, most conversations have been centered around relationships, dating, sexual purity, and all that. It has been great to discuss all of these issues with them. We went into the Bible to study what the Word says, and it was amazing. They told me that that was the first time they were hearing something different. Everyone (friends, teachers, even families) tell them it’s ok to be sexually active. With the country being mostly atheistic there is very little or nothing holding people back except maybe fear of pregnancy or diseases...but that's about it. What the Bible teaches is too radical for most people, and they think it’s not relevant. I pray that as we spend time in God’s Word, He opens their hearts to His truth and helps them understand! He's definitely been challenging them! And I pray that they respond to the challenge in a way that's glorifying Him!
Now that the weather is improving, I am getting ready to start going rollerblading with the students. Hopefully there are no injuries in my near future...definitely lots of space for improvement :)
Happy spring to you all!
