Singing Happy Birthday to Russell and then he blew out the candles, through the computer!
It has been a very busy week. We last wrote you on the 5th, telling about our arrival and a little bit about where we are living and the LST team that is here working.
We have spent the last week meeting teachers as you saw in the last post and spending the rest of the time planning lessons. We have been struggling everyday well into the evevnings to plan what they need. After they answered our questionaire and told us what they would like, we did our best to cater to that need within the constraints of ESL and giving them some good foundations in the English language. So, after several days, we had two
Burning the midnight oil! (kind of)
whole lessons done! Only 2!!!!
After our first class session today we learned we had way too much planned and that is a true blessing because now we have more days planned than we thought so now we can use the excess on the next day! (We really knew that)
One of the schools was very well represented with ten teachers but the FAWE school only had 2 of there 8 arrive. One had contacted us but the others not. So we have text messaged them all, called the school director and we will see what tomorrow brings. They all have one to one reading sessions that are an hour long in the Luke book as well. Most of them have very good English skills.
At the end of the class I realized we had failed greatly as we forgot to take any pictures. We will make up for it tomorrow as we continue on.
Sunday was a blessing as we truely enjoy the singing here. We sing in English, Kenyarwanda, Swahili and maybe some other African dialects. It is so beautiful. We have tape recorded some of it and if we can figure out how to attach that we will.
Summer attendance is down here, just like at Turnpike but the singing was incredible.
We took a day off and went to a national park about 2 hours from here. The 
LST team came with us and we went on ‘Safari’. 
Those that are from South Africa or the Serengeti chuckle at the idea that we do that here but you see what you can see where you can see it and it was spectacular for us.
Continue to pray for all of the teachers who are coming to improve their English skills, that they not only will improve but their interest in the Word will increase. Enjoy the pictures. We think of all of you often…steve and val
