1) Well, I survived me first year of teaching and actually enjoyed it. Now that's success.
2) I made a lot of new friends and have enjoyed getting to know them better and getting to know Kenya with them.
3)God let me disciple six middle school girls. I truly love them! I think we learned a lot together, and had some fun! They inspired me by their passion to see their friends get saved, be more like Christ themselves, and gain Bible knowledge.
4) Now I can drive on the opposite side of the road, in crazy traffic, and not wreck.
5) I got to experience and help at a few different slum schools and orphanages in Kenya, which I absolutely love doing.
6) Safaris are amazing! I've seen some incredible animals, and up close too! I love God's creation in Kenya.
7) Spring break in Uganda with friends was the best. Visiting Serving His Children Ministries in Jinja was humbling and so rewarding. Rafting the Nile River was unbeatable.
8)My middle schoolers gained some fun activities this year with the implementation of the Middle School Student Council, lock-ins, game nights, and movie nights! Lots of work for me, but also quite rewarding.
9)I think I can say I know how to live in Kenya. Which is, I think, an accomplishment. It's a pretty big deal to learn how to live in a foreign, third world country by yourself. God led me through with no hiccups!
10) I think the most important lesson I've learned this year is about the depravity of man. By watching circumstances around me, and pondering through my own, I have been reminded of man's frailty and lowliness. To sum it up, I own nothing and I am nothing. I don't deserve wealth or fair treatment, equality or recognition; I derserve death and hell! Who am I? The greatness of God makes man look like less than a speck of dirt. Yet, depraved though we are, He loves us. And because of this unwavering love, I am elevated to child of the King, a precious jewel, worth dying for. If that's not a humbling thought, I don't know what is.
