“We are more precious to God than diamonds and Gemstones“ -Samuel 

 Above is the winner of our Art competition.

I don’t think I can claim certified but I did teach 8-12 years olds in South Africa for two weeks. In Heildeberg we got to help out at the private christian school. For the first time in my life I feel like I taught by loving them as a person first and viewing them as a student second. Respect was earned out of love instead of demanded through fear. Myself and teammates got to fill in for multiple teachers due to COVID and moving situations but instead of feeling drained, we got to operate out of fullness. I feel like their is so much to say but no words will do it justice. So instead I am just going to show you their beautiful faces and precious smiles. You don't have to look hard to see the love that is beaming inside of them. What a blessing it was to be their teacher, but more importantly what a blessing it was to be apart of their lives and love them and be loved by them.

 

 

We lead devotional and activities every morning and this one was about the amor of God.  

 

Recess consisted of me playing dumpy( like a four square game) cops and roperos and open gates with the kids. They also bought me candy more than once. 

 

We taught the kids volleyball, soccer, kickball, football, long jump, disc, javelin, and capture the flag. The students taught us net ball.
