Made it to the end of week one...

Despite a coughing attack that interrupted class for around four or five minutes today, I finally have the feeling that my chest and throat are not getting any worse, and that they can begin to get better now. I am very thankful that I've made it to the end of the first week, that I managed to teach every day, and that the students responded very well to the teaching. I'm disappointed, though, that I was feeling so poorly and that I wasn't able to spend as much relaxed, relational time with the staff and students as I normally would.

I continue to pray for an even greater level of healing over the weekend, so that I'm much stronger and fitter again by the start of my second week of teaching in the PCYM. This weekend, we'll go out for coffee to celebrate a birthday of one of the PCYM staff. Then on Sunday, after the church service, we've been invited for lunch to the home of a Swiss missionary working with another organisation.

I'm planning to spend more time with some of the KKI staff this weekend, and hoping to have more personal time with some of the students (the ones that speak French or English) at lunch times next week.
