However my day would quickly take a turn for the worse... After I left my friend Andrew's apartment at 730am, my friend Matt and I caught one of the many busses that fly around the city. We grabbed the correct bus, but we were headed the wrong direction. Unaware, Matt and I continued on further away from our apartment and farther away from Karaganda. We managed to say the name of our apartment complex to the bus driver and he immediately began to laugh and motioned to us that we had gotten on the bus on the wrong side of the road! Just what I needed to hear at 8am! Ha ha, but it was a great way to see the city! We ended up getting back to our place around 915.. after the bus had made a complete circuit around the city.
After that our team met up and talked about Isaiah and the vision that God gave him when He revealed Himself to Isaiah. We talked about how awesome that must have been and how we all need to have a vision for Kazakhstan just as God does. With this vision in mind we came up with goals to help reach the people here. It was exciting.
Later in the day we were able to go to our first English Club, which is where we will be teaching English. There were about 10 students at this specific club and they varied in their ability to speak English. We taught them about family. We were able to engage them in questions about marriage, divorce, polygamy and other pressing topics for this area. The response was great and they definitely thought about these topics in a deep sense. We invited all of the students there to come to our team's movie, sport, and game nights!
Now its our teams time to hang out!! The people here are great and I can't wait to meet more students!
