Pressing On For Now

Things are calm here for the time being, but we never know what might happen when. SO, we're pressing on, making plans, living day to day, and trusting the Lord that all is in His hands. The English class that our teammates have been hosting has switched to our house now, and Bubba has begun teaching it. The girl who was teaching is now back in the states, so....Bubba has taught twice now, the first time getting a standing ovation! He is really enjoying it. And I'm glad to host it at our house, as I can easily be a part of the group without having to get a babysitter. I really enjoying opening our home, preparing snacks, and making our home a welcoming place. We meet every Monday night at 7:30, and it's a great, very informal, relaxed setting for getting to know Bolivians. Anywhere from 5 - 12 people show up and it's a basic conversational class. Bubba has also gotten together with one of the guys who comes, and they are each practicing the other language (Bubba -Spanish, friend - English). I (Angela) am continuing tutoring twice a week with a Bolivian woman who teaches Spanish at the kids' school. I enjoy my time with her, and am continuing to improve with my language abilities. On Fridays I meet her at the school, and then stay afterwards to help out in Sam and Georgia's classes for a few hours. I really have enjoyed this. Last week I helped 4 Bolivian boys in Georgia's class, who are a littel farther behind, catch up on some reading and social studies. English is a second language for all of them, and the school is an all English speaking school, so I could empathize with them! But I'd whole lot rather learn a new language at their age than at mine!! Thanks for being interested in our lives. We miss you all terribly, but are confident that this is where the Lord has us. Thank you for your continued prayers.
