We arrived so early this morning after our long taxi drive and even though we had time to sleep, we ended up showering, having breakfast with the students and then hanging out with one of our roomies in town.
As I mentioned earlier today, there was a youth group even this afternoon. It felt a little like backyard bible club though I’m not sure why as there weren’t any backyards or tacky crafts. Instead we sang, talked about obedience, ate some snacks, and played one of those games where the whole group stands in a circle. It was a good time. It started pouring towards the end, so we just camped out with the kids, all of whom were girls, and waited for it to stop.
Afterwards, we went over to the language institute to get a tour and briefing for our English classes that start on Monday. We’ll be teaching 2 classes per day Mon-Wed to intermediate and beginner students. The staff already has a curriculum in place for us to use but there are just enough elements in each class for our sparkly creativity to shine. Yes, we have sparkly creativity.
Tomorrow, we are going to a youth church service where Bree, Everett, and I have been asked to each share a gospel story and then lead a small group discussion. Everett will also be helping to lead the singing and is sitting at the kitchen table as well picking out worship songs.
Well, I need to take a shower and go to bed, pretty desperately actually. I’m writing this as a word doc since internet is not available in this part of the house. Assuming Everett posts this later, enjoy your weekend and write to us lots!
More tomorrow...
