Proud Parents!

Joshua went to school Friday for a free trial at one of the local pre-schools. Mind you all the teachers are women of the national faith complete with head coverings and all. There is one other white girl that just started last week and the rest of the kids are locals. The school mixes the ages together, so Joshua is in a class with 3-6 year olds. None of the kids speak much English but all of the teachers do. Joshua is of coursed pumped about going and jumps right in playing with the kids. One kid about Joshua's age brought his pet with him to class, you guessed it a Monkey! (Not sure we will be getting one any time soon?) The playground is complete with the normal slide, swings, and two large Rams! (Dont worry they were in a pin) The class time began with singing, introductions, and prayer. When asked what song they wanted to sing Joshua's screams out J Loves Me! They tried to ignore him but he kept asking. They then prayed and Joshua prayed in the only name he knew to pray in and when they brought out the globe to show where Joshua was from Joshua told them that "J made the world!" Candace was observing in the class while i watched from outside. We both shared a smile and knew that our pryrs were being answered already that the Father would use our boys in amazing ways! Lift up Joshua as he will begin school starting in August.
