Only one week and two days until my teaching time with the pastors is up!  It is crazy how soon this part of my work has gone by.  I have already learned a whole lot about teaching and about God’s word.  The pastors have been a blessing and they are always encouraging.  When I got here, I started in Romans.  Then, when I finished Romans, Sabet had to leave to the States and asked me to finish up 1 Corinthians.  So then we finished 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, and Galatians.  We are currently learning from Ephesians and the usual pace of two or three chapters a day has hit some mud.  Today we spent about two and a half hours on Chapter four verses nine through thirty-two.  There is just so much to learn from those verses that we couldn’t run through them.  This is a New Testament survey, but there is great truth that has practical application and we found the need to talk about it more.  We got cultural and lifestyle applications for all the teachings in these verses.  It has been great and the pastors commented that it has probably been the best day yet.  I agree, I guess God just has a lot to teach us.
