Reading today...I'm going to be smart today and remember my spanish-english dictionary

I will be leaving in about an hour to start reading sessions today with my students. I absolutely love studying the bible with all of them! At first, I was worried because I thought that things might become monotonous, studying the same lesson, eight hours a day, two days a week. (Because I have different afternoon readers on Monday and Tuesday, then the cycle repeats Wednesday and Thursday)

But everyone is so diverse! Different levels of English and different undertstandings of the passages have led to very different discussions every hour. I love my readers! It sounds odd to say, but I feel as if we have all become very quick friends. I truly look forward to reading with them every day. I wish there were more hours in the day to have more discussions and for us to do other things together.

Please keep me in your prayers. I am getting questions very frequently about the differences between Catholicism and Christianity. I have been trying my best using the scriptures I know, but I really don't know very much about Catholicism in the first place. Additionally, some of Landon and my readers are very skeptical about starting bible studies with the church leaders, because I guess they feel like we are more "normal" ...I guess in terms of not being pre-armed with an arsenal of anti-Catholic literature. Some of our readers will not even read prepared literature.

My readers range from that to agnostic to very passionate about Christ. One of my readers, Loretta, is attending church with me now. It is such an encouraging blessing! I praise God for having his hand in this trip. And I pray that he will continue to lead my thoughts, words, and actions for his glory.
