Missions: Refugees Part 3

It got a little bit weird after a while with the refugees and they got a little too codependent on us, so we let them figure out a few things on their own, only helping when they didn't have a way to solve problems themselves.

After a lot of study time with them and some driving practice, the father got a driver's license, which has opened up a lot of great things for him! We are so proud that the family is becoming more self-sustained. 

That being said, my family is now exhausted and we have taken a step back from the volunteer work to recharge. One thing God has been teaching me is knowing my limits. I never liked to think I had limits, but I do.

I have begun a slow, steady friendship with another immigrant from the same people group. He is a brand new Christian, but he doesn't really know anything Biblical and I'm not sure he has received the Holy Spirit yet. He still doesn't hear God's voice steadily. That relationship is missing some key parts.

So, we will see how God wants this to go. I am leaving it up to God at this point, since I typically try to pressure people into stuff and then they run away. (Hey just admitting my shortcomings).
