First week!

Well...everything is still all new. Learning to adapt to a new culture, new climate and new language. I am so fortunate though that everyone here can speak English - even a little! I think I wandered around in a little haze for a while as trying to take on board everything and comprehend that this is my life for the next 6 months. I have so much more free time keep thinking I should be doing something like planning or marking or prep...but alas no! Having enforced rest is a good thing!

The one good thing is being able to pray and read my bible so much more regularly! Who knows might actually be able to read through the whole bible before I return!!! God has been so gracious to me and everyday confirms that this is where he wants me to be. Although I am missing home I am not yet home sick.

Started teaching yesterday...was interesting...you would think only having 3 in a class would be easy!! However when 2 of them spend nearly 40 minutes out of the hour and fifteen minutes crying full blast its not that easy!!! In the meantime trying to encourage the one who is listening to listen for sounds when all we can hear is crying! But they did settle down and soon enough they began to smile and respond! I think the whole experience was a learning curve for us all...we try again Monday.
