And indeed, it is a mystery how we got to be here in Suriname. Amy and I graduated in May, married in June, trained in July, and moved in August. We finished our first week of teaching yesterday. Here are a few interesting things to report about teaching, our main "ministry," if you want to call it that:
- Amy received a drawing of her and the student/artist saying "Your [poor grammar is not mine] the best teacher I ever had."
- A non-Christian student who I'd been fencing apologetically with told me that he had no more arguments against Christianity, but he just wasn't ready for the decision.
- A student told me that I was the youngest teacher at this school ever, and I responded that I plan to be the strictest as well.
- One of Amy's students started crying when she shared the Gospel. He got what she was saying very clearly. So clearly, in fact, that his non-Christian mother had to have a little chat with Amy the next day.
