Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Teaching at Horeb - Week 2

A quick report about teaching this past week:

The first and second graders continued to be a challenge to teach while the older children are really picking things up fast.  The 6th graders shared a classroom with the fifth graders the first week but are now in their own classroom as we now have six teachers for all the grades.  The 6th grade classroom is the smallest of all, but it is my favorite class to teach.  They were all very excited when I finally got all their names correct.  Now, I just need to learn the names from all the other grades...   On Thursday, we had devotions.  This week all of the sixth graders led devotion for all the children.  A few read bible passages, a few led the group in prayer, and a few did intrepetive dance to a Christian song.  It was really beautiful to watch those 6th graders.  Afterward, the 6th grade teacher Mathias taught all the children the parable of the good samiiritan.  After classes were over that Thursday, the teachers had devotion as well.  I am looking forward to next Thursday already.  I am starting to teach English to the first grade teacher, Ana, after all the classes are over.  There are so many people here who want to learn English and I have had many requests from various people for me to teach them, but can not teach them all!
