One crazy week

The links section on the right will lead you straight to pictures and video. Also, just comment or facebook me with your email and I can email you every time I add a new post.

So this week was packed full. Monday the Aggie team did some touristy things, and spent a lot of the day at the National Museum. Tuesday was some planning meetings and running errands. Also, a couple (Neale and Delissa) doing missionary work is moving into the church here, and we helped transport some things from their apartment to their place in the church.

Then was three straight days of intense English camps at a couple of nursing schools. We had about 90 students on Wednesday, 200 on Thursday, and 50 or so on Friday. We played Steal the Bacon, Simon Says, Telephone, charades and a couple others, trying to help them use common English phrases and understand some of our culture. We were in charge of them from about 9AM till 3PM or 4, (the exact times varied each day), so we also taught some lessons about English sayings for common diseases and symptoms and questions for talking to patients. Many already knew how to read or write at varying levels, so our main focus was getting them to open up, not be so shy, and to give them experience with conversation.

Then we finally get a "day off" today.... and spend some more time helping Neale and Delissa move, then some more planning meetings. Next week we resume our normal English classes and I am looking forward to it!
