we are proud!

Well, we all love pictures. And I happen to have some of Josh's adventure! This is for everyone, but mostly for family. He's doing so well. I spoke to him over the phone (I was very sleepy) this morning around 6am my time. I am so proud of him. Here is an excerpt from an e-mail that he sent the other day...

"It was neat. I have generally been teaching at least 3 and a half hours so the class is pretty long. I have been starting each day with a quiz, then asking them to share what they have learned the day before, then I cover the material and try to end with some type of challenge for them. I have been learning a lot through all of this."

I don't want to give away too much information because I still don't know a ton about the country and what their status fully is on teaching or ministry. After all, there were 41 native Campus Crusade people that were thrown in prison before Josh went to the country. But they tell me that Americans are perfectly safe there.

another excerpt... "I went for a jog after class it felt good. I got a lot of weird looks. I think people thought I was running from something because one guy stopped me and asked “why are you walking so soon?” I think he meant to say why are you running so quickly but it is all the same. I told him it was for exercise. I don’t think people do a lot of jogging around here."
