Testamonials

Sorry for the delay! As I have been trying to play catch up with my emails and working; with not having internet for several weeks. I hope to share what I have been doing for the past while with you!
This last week my housemates and I were invited to attend a church (as we have been invited to attend about 4 others as well), and at this church service this morning I was so inspired about the fact that every service they give testamonial about how God has worked in their life and how the out come has been. This one women that gave one stood up in front of the church and told us that she was a single mum with 3 children and her washing machine had broke about a monthe ago and you all know that not having a washing machine and 3 children that wouldn't be fun; and a lady that also attended this church that found out about her situation took her to the store and put it on her card so that this women could have a washer and that she could pay her back when possible. On the way back from going to the store, the lady that bought her this washer had 30 pounds stollen from her. Later that day she had recieved 50 pounds back from another source. It made me think about what others do for each other and that the power of giving is unmeasurable. I want to thank the people that supported me to be here as they have also given a gift that is unmeasurable. Durring this service the teens leave for another part of service for them. The women that is getting this washer on Wednesday left to go and teach. Another lady went up and told the congrigation that they were taking money to help her pay off her washer and that they had all ready recieved 50 pounds. My housemates and I also attend a night service that is people that are worshiping that are around our age. Tonight they were also doing testamonials, but they only do them every so offten. It was wonderfull to see what God has been doing in these peoples lives.
As I know that many of you have been asking about what I am exactly doing over here and maybe just don't know. I am teaching children that need help with reading, writing and spelling. I teach each child twice a week and for about a 20-50 min session, depending on the child. At the moment I have 9 children and will be getting more in 2 weeks at half term. I will be getting a new school that has decided to link up with springboard. I am working in 2 schools at the moment; Oliver Goldshiths and Brockley. Most of the schools are in Peckam (where I live). As I would love to hear about your testamonies and what is going on in your lives as well please feel free to send me an email at amanda.wieland@hotmail.com
