Hanging out with Maribeth

It has been neat to see the Acts III campus in person. I have seen many pictures from the website during its construction. It seems unreal to actually be standing on the site and sleeping here. It is not finished yet, but walking through it and seeing what it will be when it is finished has been real cool. This will be an amazing place when it is completed. It has been fun hanging out with Maribeth and seeing how she has been living for the past year. She is doing such amazing work here. Maribeth has such a huge heart for Jesus and it shows with everything she does. She has been training many different Malawians on how to teach according to the Montessori style of teaching. We were able to see how the kids are doing. The stuff they are learning is incredible. We also were able to take a tour of four different orphanages that are implementing the teaching style Maribeth has been training them on. She has established so many connections with local orphanages. Three of the orphanages we toured we were able to go back and paint the ABC’s on the walls with some pictures to go with it. It’s amazing how different it makes the classrooms look. The real story is walking through the local town to get to all the different orphanages. I often wondered what was going through their heads when they see seven white people walking through their village. Most of the people were nice. Everyone stared as we paraded by, which is to be expected. We do stand out pretty well. It was definitely worthy to be called an experience.
