Here are a few shots in the class room. Many of the students speak English and most days I have a volunteer helper who is bi-lingual.
Jenny teaches music on Tuesdays; Jon oversees chapel on Fridays. They each stay to help on their day. Other days my helper is a parent or a college student.
Soulwinning = 25 Tracts!
(But, still, the silent partner)
Although I thoroughly enjoyed going soulwinning with the college girls, I must admit that it is nice to be back with the ladies group and be at home on Friday nights. (Yes, I am that old.)
This week I partnered with Jenny in a busy downtown area. There were a few houses between the shops on our street. Mrs. Carrie and some ladies in her group went on the streets behind the shops. Jenny and I were not able to talk long to anyone, but we did pass out a lot of tracts. I handed out a stack of 25; Jenny handed out all of hers as well. We went back to the van and scrounged some from the door panel or the glove box. We did have one man refuse the tract and shut the door. This was only the second time that I have seen that happen since I have been here.
Thirteen ladies went visiting on Friday. The six ladies in our van led ten individuals in the sinner's prayer.
New Food of the Week:
Roast Beef Enchiladas
Made with roast beef and guacamole, these enchilladas were absolutely delicious! Roast beef is my all-time favorite meal and this is what Jenny "whipped up" from the leftovers. Obviously, none of her culinary skills were learned from me. And, of course, we had home-brewed Jamaica tea!
Language Update:
True, but funny story: I made up some certificates for the students to earn which would allow them to wear denim or casual clothes to school. I was told that here it is called a "free clothes" day. Not "free of clothes" but free from the rules about the clothes. Well, I misspelled the words -- I know, you are totally shocked, right? -- For my Spanish-speaking readers, the certificate said
"Ropas Libro -- 2,000 Merits."
For my non-Spanish-speaking readers,
"Bookish Clothes -- 2,000 Merits."
(Literally translated, "Clothes Book")
No one bought any of these. :/
Just a reminder to my friends in Arkansas that we are once again on the same clock!
