Day 2 of M.A.K Classes

The heat and the humidity (24-7) reminds me of the song, "Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, sugar at supper time." Just insert heat and humidity for sugar and you will get the idea.


The kids came home today still excited about school. Homework is coming in at a managable rate at this point. No complaints from us.

I am enjoying my students. They are a bit chatty. I have come to find out that this is their reputation over the past couple of years. The students are bright and full of laughter. They are also very literal about what I say. I don't think this is because of a language difference. They just want to please or they are too bright for their own good. Susan gave the class a survey during Bible which she teaches. We learned that many of the students are Christians. But about a third are not. Please pray for her as she tries to communicate the gospel effectively. What an opportunity!

This evening, Susan cooked a meal that took us back to memories of Indy. We ate the basics: chicken, baked potatoes, and salad. However, in that meal, Susan tried a new chicken recipe from another mother in the apartment, potatoes are expensive so that was a treat. The salad is the only part of that meal that was inexpensive. The kids were so excited to have a taste from home, this also made Susan feel pretty good.

Finally, we have had two showings of the house in the last four days. Continue to pray for this situation. We are trusting Him and His perfect timing.
