Day 5

I have been here for almost and entire week... It is going be quickly. I have been observing the class that I will be taking over and that has been a learning experience. I learned that middle school boys are middle school boys no matter where you are in the world. On Thursday, we walked into our last class of the day, and the first question we have to ask these boys is "What did you set on fire?" The class smelled like something was burnt. I can say that it was not what I expected when I got here... Other than that, the children at the school are awesome and very welcoming.

Yesterday, I taught my first class and I can just say that it didn't go as well as I would have hoped that it would. The kids were really talkative when the other teacher was talking to them, but then I got up there and none of them were talking to me at all. They just started staring at me. WHAT??!! It was not good. Well at least I got the first class of teaching over with... I hope everything just goes up from here. I can only pray that it does.

The food here is amazing... I have eaten so much since I have gotten here... It didn't take much to adjust to that at least. Well, send up some prayers for me as I take on all the classes next week. Im pretty nervous about the whole thing, but I know that God is going to work through me. If I stumble he will pick me up. Thank God for that =]
