First Day of Classes

Today was the first day of classes. I taught Pastoral Epistles (28 students) and Biblical Characters (57 students) There are 27 in Ecclesiology but John led the class today. I will speak briefly tomorrow but most of it will be sermon evaluations until the mid-term when I take over. I am speaking in chapel for the next two days.

We go to the school each day in a truck that has no springs - we load up with students we pick up on the way and drive over the biggest speed bumps you have ever seen. It is fun because the students are truly excited about heading off to the school. Part of the drive is on the highway - which is crowded with bicycles and pedestrians. Anyway the students are genuine saints who farm and pastor in rural areas.

Sunday night we had a missionary fellowship at a Nazarene Pastor's home - nice place, awesome view of the Nile River and for the most part older missionaries most of whom are involved in training nationals.

We will see if we can get my computer back in order - for now I will use John's and see how things work out. I am taking pictures here and there and tomorrow John will take some pictures of me teaching. Perhaps this weekend we'll send one so you can post it on the blogspot.
