2/4/09 - Today was not busy at all but for some reason I was just exhausted all day. We have switched our off day from Thursday to Wednesday because there was a school that wanted us on Thursdays. So we actually have two off days this week! Olya came over around 11 to have a Russian lesson with Erin. Hannah and I were going to sit in but Erin is so far ahead of us and Erin does an awesome job teaching us. It is hard for Ukrainians to understand that our mouths some time can't form the sounds they want! The only thing we had today was a meeting with Vova at 5 and then English club at 6. English club was a blast this evening. We had 10 students come and to my surprise the reoccurring students were the boys and they even brought friends! We started off playing the came Never Have I Ever. They LOVED it! We then went over some commonly used American phrases like "easy as pie". Then it was discussion time, we had several scenarios that dealt with the family. They all led into a moral discussion that could open into more. Then we discussed different things about the family like who do you live with and do you get along with your siblings/parents. Three of the boys, Sasha (short name for Alexander,VERY popular), Sergei, and Sasha walked home with us and Ira. Hannah was talking to one of the Sashas and he told her that he also goes to an English club by the Mormons. Then he asked Hannah what she believed and she did an amazing job of sharing. He seems open but it will be about building a relationship with him. In fact they invited us to meet them tomorrow and go ice skating!
