English Club update:


this week we had our first english club, we wrote earlier about how we wanted to start one up and there was interest but we hadn't had anyone yet, but this last week on lady came out, 70 years old and very keen to learn. by the end of the class she was kissing lynnette in excitment of it all. i never knew teaching some one the alphabet could have results like that! she is a lady we have met at the clothing sale we help with every week and she comes week in and week out for shoes, and every week she leaves with a couple pairs. who knows what a old lady like her needs so many shoes for?! one week she saw a pair she liked but they were a bit small, she was very driven and after 20 minutes of pulling, squeezing and sweating they finally slipped on, literaly! ok forced on. this past week she even brought a friend and both of them sat there forcing a whole array of shoes on. she is a very sweet old lady! next week we will also have one more lady and 2 teenagers at english club so it is beginning to grow! we pray that the club would provide for many oppurtunites to share about christ, the old lady is a jehovah witness and this past week we talked a little about christmas and the meaning. this coming week we also will begin our intense language studies, so we will be quite busy! and tomorrow we will be doing a presentation on canada in a elementary school complete with maple syurp and some canada pins (thanks chris and cheryl for those)
p.s. happy thanksgiving jonny (and any of u other americans out there), we will eat a little extra turkey for u at our team dinner tonight!

I think I can relate to that older lady... shopping for shoes is FUN! hope your English class continues to be a success and that lots more people join!
