End of an Era

Teaching English as a second language in a Bolivian University was not something I would have guessed we would do when coming here, but for the last four months we have really enjoyed that particular responsibility. Friday was our last class. There were some obstacles to overcome, especially having never taught English (or any other subject) before, but the rewards were well worth it. The students who stuck with it were eager and had unique personalities. They even threw us two parties during our time. One on the Bolivian Teacher's Day, and the other this last Friday. They made us a card and gave us balloons, and of course provided salteñas for all to eat.




On a little different note, two of our students from the American culture class we taught have come to the English church with us twice and seem very enthusiastic to get involved in some of the church programs, like a weekly English practice session. These non-Christian students have a love for learning and we are thankful that there is such a giving and God-centered Church with various things for people to get involved in. Thanks for all the prayers you have said for us and the people we work with. None of these things would be possible without them.
