We've been in ministry for a week now and I'm really excited for this semester. Every afternoon I'm working at Ithemba (my church), there is an afterschool program/ childcare for kids from ages 2 -13. We're there from 1-5 every afternoon and we hang out, play games, have activities, and then we split off into classes. I'm going to be working with the older kids for class time and we do a bible study with them and then actually teach them school stuff. Who knew I'd be teaching math and english? It's kinda weird that I'm going to be doing some teaching but I'm pretty excited for it, I already know a bunch of the kids and I love them. The afterschool program doesn't actually start untill next Wenesday but we've been there all week planning, cleaning, playing and dancing with the kids that are already there.

The mornings are going to be looking a bit different this semester. Instead of having disciplship every morning, we only have 2 hours of disciplship 2 mornings a week and then I also do house visiting 2 mornings a week. I'm a little worried that I won't have enough time to see all the people that I visited last sememster since I only have 2 mornings a week to do house visiting but I'm going to try to see them during my "free" time.

So thats what monday to thursdays look like: disciplship/ house visiting in the morning and then Ithemba in the afternoon, and then we have fridays off. Saturdays we do "family ministry" in the morning, which is our whole team doing something together and then we do intentional ministry in the afternoon, which means we can just do whatever ministry we want. That's a little bit of how the semester is going to look like... I'm excited.
