We're off the the races!
As life often goes, just when you wonder what you are gong to do next...the bomb hits. We went to a near by Christian school where the pastor-principal is a friend of Sonnia's. He asked us many questions...about our church, our mission vision, Obama, school shootings, our educational backgrd & experience, religion in our home town, etc....and then took us on a tour of the school. Sparse but 106 happy kids some thrilled to greet us in English. We met the pastor's daughter who is the English teacher and his wife who made the arrangements for our visits in classrooms and with two groups that come sponsored by Compassionate Int'l. Also, she scheduled visits at their sister church which is on the other side of town. So basically, she scheduled us to teach classes most every day for the next two & a half weeks!! And with Sonnia & Tatiana's help, we will prepare the lessons and all the materials we will need to teach them....and we thought cutting out 40 sheep was time consuming! We need to cut out 195 more, plus more boats, more arks, more animals...more everything! I did convince Sonnnia to use construction paper instead of the foam board so at least we can cut out more than one at a time!!! So you know what we'll be doing. We start tomorrow...and I can't wait...
