This week has been non-stop and we are all exhausted! I got lucky and the two people I worked with this week were wonderful. They allowed me to help them and took my advice and the classes went well. Hannah and Erin were not so lucky and their adults did not listen to them and would not allow them to help. The night activities went well and there was a decent turn our every night. The women prepared different American food every night. There was pizza, dessert bars, pasta salad, chocolate chip cookies, egg salad, brownies, pancakes, and lots of American candy. It was nice to have American food! We did make some new friends at the meetings. The three of us girls were invited to and English Club at the University for Teachers. Ira is a student here and has been trying to get Americans into her school but has not been able to. God has opened the door for us and the students and teachers loved the activities we did with the students. We are now going to be going to their club every Wednesday! The Illinois group is finally leaving tomorrow. I will miss the two that I worked with. Just wish the others were a bit more appreciative, but I guess that comes with southern manners. I was never grateful for being raised in the south until this week! We finally get some rest tomorrow so Hannah and I are going shopping after sleeping in. Then in the evening is a going away party for the group.

  1. Good to hear you are making a difference over there! Don't let those Illinois folk get you down, you know you'll always have way more class and manners than them! Well if you get the chance msg me back on facebook or something, but I know you are really busy and stuff. Take it easy
