Winding down

Our teaching is going well with just a couple weeks left in the semester. The students are doing "peer teaching" in all of our classes, getting more experience actually being in front of the class by teaching the primary school lessons to their classmates (acting as 1o year olds). It's fun to see them improve, becoming more creative and confident in their teaching. I've been enjoying my time in front of the classroom too. The students are very fun. Last week we studied Octopus's Garden (Beatles) and they wanted to stay after class to dance to the song they'd learned.
We started "Monday movie" nights, showing English films that have been well-attended.
Last week made our front garden sweet potato harvest into delicious soup.
Please keep your prayers the new baby and family of our good friend, Medard. The baby's name is Samuel. He's been in and out of the hospital the last couple weeks with a respiratory infection and then general weakness so we're all worried about him.
