a taste of home

Sorry I haven't been updating as much, it's been kind of busy with the KCM team here. We've been tagging along most of the time with them and helping them with their ministries. This week, I started teaching fourth grade English. I have three English classes and I teach another class for Scripture Time. Yesterday, I played volleyball with some of the high school and college students! They're really good, but I'm so glad that they play here because I love playing volleyball! This past Sunday, we went to Bangalore Korean Church for Sunday service. There are around 7-8 families attending BKC as they're all missionaries or people who are here for business reasons. They served Korean food and it was amazing! The missionaries at Saint Paul School also cooked some Korean food for KCM and the four of us tagged along for that too! We've been eating really well lately...

This past Friday, we took a day trip to Berekai which is around 2-3 hours away from Bangalore. There's a St Paul School there where the missionary there, missionary Moses, has a vision to expand the school over 100 acres. The land is already purchased and so far, only 4 acres are being used by the school. There are around 250 student currently enrolled. I was challenged and encouraged at the same time to hear about missionary Moses' vision for the school.

Prayer requests:
-for the KCM team as they will be going on a two week trip around India spreading the gospel. Please pray for their safety, health, and for God to use them to spread the gospel. 
-to have a vision during my stay here and also in my life. 
-for the students here at Saint Paul School to be receptive and willing to accept and follow Jesus Christ. 
-for missionary Moses and his ministry in Berekai. 

Sorry for such a short update! Hopefully I will have the time to update more often!

To make up for my lack of words in my update, I will upload more photos in this post :)

This is back in Andhra Pradesh. This field was right next to the church/school we stayed at (also known as our "bathroom").

This is the village we stayed at in Andhra Pradesh.

This is in Berekai and is the soccer field at the Saint Paul School.

This is a part of the 100-acre land missionary Moses purchased to fulfill his vision.

This is inside the 4-acre where the buildings are built so far

There's a restaurant called "California Burrito" and is very similar to Chipotle; from their menu to their interior

The three of us have been riding this Scooty around to get to different places.

Chapati is one of the traditional Indian foods.

One of the Saint Paul students was going back home on the back of this bike. I thought it was adorable so I took a picture of it
