DEFINING MOMENT

          I so wanted to post the picture of my friend but it will not load. I will post it anyway.  We will be gone all day tomorrow on Safari. So I won't post again until Sunday.  Then we are near the end. There sre so many pictures I would have loved to share but it takes about 20 minutes to load a picture. I will be putting together a book for myself and my classroom later if any of you want to see my book.

         Today was the last day of our teaching.  This week has been different because we have been teaching older students in the morning and teachers in the afternoon.  Teacher Christine was my last teacher to help. She speaks very good English. But like most of us she is afraid to use her skills because she is afraid she will make a mistake. Yesterday I told her many things about myself and family. Today she came back and asked me many questions about things she had thought about over night. Then she asked me how I came here and how my family felt. When I told her I volunteered and paid my own money to be here she was so grateful. She kept saying what a kind heart I had to help others. She said God will bless me.  She also wanted my email to write to me. I don't know if she ever will but I felt a close bond with her in just a matter of spending 1 1/2 housrs with her. I teared up several times during our time together. Our time together has made my time here worthwhile. I will be changed forever!
