On Tuesday, I started teaching in the "littles" class. These kids are supposed to be 4-6, but some seem younger than 4 to me! It went well, and I can tell I'm really going to enjoy this!!! After school, we went down to the Bible College for lunch. The Bible College is being used for the Christian school classes, but it also is home to a few pastors and their families. A newly married couple had just moved in and we were invited to the celebration and dedication of their new home. They have the pastors pray blessing over them, their home and in this case, their brand new stove. Ruth lit it for the first time, then she and Sharelee together put on a pot of milk to boil for "sweet rice." It was pretty cool and the food was wonderful! We spent the afternoon putting packets together for the first day of the conference.
Today, Chris and Sharelee went to the church while I was at school to start the Pastors' Conference. She also got to go speak at a ladies' Bible study. I had both classes on my own for the first time. When the pastors' conference broke for lunch, we went to a nearby village to bless a new home. Chris cut the ribbon on the first door and anointed the first room with oil and Ruth prayed blessing and cut the ribbon on the door to the second room. They fed us lunch and we headed back. The conference tonight was really good, but we blew a transformer and had to cut it short.
Between lunch and the conference, Sharelee and I got to take our material into town to the tailor shop. On the way back we stopped at the market to pick up a few things. Though we stayed in the car, we enjoyed people and cow watching!
