Highlights of My Week, Part 3
Friday morning I went to the final session of English camp at Promise Church. After 2 hours of teaching and review, the two classes gave a little program for their parents. Then Pastor Num gave out certificates of completion to each student.
Sorry this picture isn't very clear, but I wanted to include it because this is the class I sat in with most of the time.
This is the other class. The Thai teacher in this picture is the pre-school teacher at Abba House, where I plan to help one day a week.
After the presentation of certificates and some prizes, the parents took their children home, and I was privileged once again to eat with the staff at the church before going home.
Friday evening I took a songtaew over to the Masts to be with Claire and Eliza while their parents and visiting grandparents could go on a dinner cruise. As always, I had a good time with the girls. The picture below shows them sitting in the kitchen as I prepare supper. They also helped me put the meal together and set the table. Great helpers!
This morning (Saturday) I returned to Promise Church, where I taught my second session of English to a class of 10 women. They are a great group of students that are in no hurry to go home after class is over. Today two of the gals asked me for my phone number.:)
I invited the class to eat lunch with me next Saturday after class; it will not suit very many, so maybe I will end up eating lunch with a few students every Saturday!
I think I will like teaching English once I get more acquainted with the curriculum. It's fun to have eager students. Below are my gals.:)
After eating lunch with the church staff (again), I headed home, cleaned, and went to see my friend Dang for just a bit. She told me that Noy, a 16-year-old boy in the neighborhood, has cancer. My heart goes out to him; he is a very sweet, polite boy, and I had no idea he was ill. Somehow I hope to share Jesus with him, maybe through teaching English?? I saw him later tonight, and he said he would like to learn to speak English.... Please keep Noy in your prayers.
Now that I have caught up on my blog, I must get some sleep!
