This week was a little less eventful then my last! But one great thing that did happen is that I got the boy who had been living with me, Vincent (bunso), into a orphanage! What is great is that it is run by a Canadian family and the women who directs it has been working with these kinds of boys for 9 years. After taking him there and seeing his reactions I was very encouraged! Also, one boy there shocked me when he went over and sat with Vincent and started talking to him. When I looked over my shoulder and saw them talking, I new instantly they were friends! I was so happy to know that when he goes he knows at least one person! The family that runs the orphanage has their family stay on the third floor, and the boys on the second and babies on the 1st. When you go there you can feel the atmosphere of a family, something Vincent may have never known. I am very excited for him but also the relationship I have with the family. They have so much knowledge and experience and its also nice to have some friends who are older Canadians!
Charity, the director of the orphanage, has a busy two weeks so she said to give her two weeks and I had to prepare him for coming. So that means doing 3 hours of school work a day, and waking him up on time and making sure he is home on time and making sure he is in bed. So I have had to play dad for the last few days and it has been quite interesting! God always seems to be in a hurry with me! With Vincent gone I will have 2 others staying with me, so 3 in total. I am hoping to get rid(in a good way) of the other boy and be down to two of us. My apartment is not close to big enough for four boys, and I have zero privacy and almost zero alone time. I am looking forward to having the place to myself a little more.
The next great news is that I passed my first exam for bible school! (if you being exempt is considered passing) The first exam was a english proficiency exam, and even after I thoroughly tried to convince them that I was an english speaker for some reason I still had to take it. When I was in the room about to write the test, a teacher comes in, who was also a foreigner, and tells me I did not have to write the test. I was happy that I did not have to write the 3 hour exam, and I went home! So now on June 2nd I will write the other exam which is more like a IQ sort of test, but with a bit of math. Now when I was in high school I thought I was going to build houses and not become a pastor so I took every class I could that was as far away from academics as possible. So that one really bit me in the butt since now I have to do just that! What I am getting at is to please pray for me!
I will let you all know how my next exam goes, but its looking like June 22nd I will be official a bible school student! Also the school is really nice and is in a large building right in the business district and only 5-10 minutes from my house! Perfect!
