Day3/4

Yesterday was the first day for us to have readers. I had five and Katie had three. Many of them have done LST before and we are using other books besides the book Luke. We have a few new people as well. It seems like many of the new readers are not very interested in the Luke book and they just want to practice English for other reasons like their job or an interview. Most of my readers have so far have very good English. Katie worked yesterday with someone who will begin classes with David because her English skills are very minimal. I hope that she continues to be with the church involved here. Katie and I have both noticed that we may usually have a gap in the middle of the day. Currently we have about ten or eleven readers each. We would like to have about fifteen each. Many of our readers work or go to school so they can only meet in the morning or in the evening. I hope that Katie and Will I be able to use our afternoons very productively even if we do not have many readers. And know that it is still very early on in the trip, and so am very optimistic about getting more readers. Our First Party is on Sunday. I think that will help us gain a few more readers, because who does not love a good party? ) I have been praying for all of our readers and I hope that you will continue to pray for Katie and me, as well as our readers. I hope that we will be able to build strong relaitonships with them and show thrm Christ through our lives. Many times that can be more impactful on a person. Today Katie and I both had a reader at nine. We were then able to go to the store and buy some food for lunch and dinner. We have some readers in many technical evening, That we are unsure of when we can eat dinner, but that is not necessarily a bad problem to have.
