So today we actually had to get up early. Sveta, a young woman from the church, asked the director of her college if we could come and teach. So we had a meeting with him this morning and Ira came along to translate. The director was very kind and said he would have no problem with us being there. God definitely paved our way into this school. We then went to the building next door to meet one of the English teachers and she said she would be so glad to have us there. So that is where we are headed Friday morning. The only other things we had today was our English club in the evening. We were all a bit nervous about how it would go. There were about 15 students that came. We did introductions, a game, grammar, and then discussion time. We divided into two groups for discussion. The topic was hometowns but my entire group was from Poltava so we also discussed other topics. They loved to hear me try and speak the little Russian I know. Sasha asked me if we (English speakers) laugh at them when they try to speak English and I said no. He then preceded to tell me that they DO laugh at me when I try to speak Russian. Now how encouraging is that? One of the people that came was the English teacher from Ira's school, she came to practice speaking English. After the class she mentioned that she is going to speak with the director of the daughter's school to see if we can go there as well. God has opened so many doors and I know it is because of all the prayers from you guys. Thank you so much for the prayers because we are seeing results!

  1. Rachel, It was quite a surprise to read two postings from you today. I told your mother today I look forward to reading your posts every evening. May God continue to pave the way for you into the schools. Every child is a child of God's. God bless and have fun.
