Oh What a Night!

June 13, 2009

We just did our first Irish Dancing concert!!  It was very scary, far too hot, but good fun nevertheless! emoticon

Check out our classy costumes and the concentration on my face!

 

Up early tomorrow to get to Orleans in time for the service and then kayaking on the Loire…I’ll explain more later!

Literacy Class Meal

Yesterday it was my last day giving French lessons.  It was a fun day but very exhausting!  The classes run 9am - 12noon.  At 12 ladies from the church arrived and set about putting on a meal for the students.  It was a fun way to say goodbye.  I was hoping that it would be a ministry the church would be able to continue with, but recently the ’school’ was inspected and was told it couldn’t use a place of worship to give secular lessons.  So unfortunatly the school has to find new premises next year.

A girl called Regina, from Romania asked me to explain what her horoscope meant.  I said I would, but that God didn’t like that and tells us in the Bible that only He knows our future.  She looked at me horrified and threw the paper in the bin!

  This is Sonia. She is one of my favourite students.  She is from Ethiopia and arrived at the school the same week as me.  At the beginning she cried a lot but she seems to be settling in well and making progress.

  These 3 boys are all from Afganistan.  They can only speak their own language, Farsi, and they can only just read it.  Learning to speak and write a new language with a new alphabet is REALLY difficult for them.  All of them paid a lot of money to get to France and at least one of them is now sleeping rough.  They are lost, homesick and lonely.

Please pray for these kids.  That they would be able to live happy and peaceful lives and that they would one day come to know their father God.
