We Survived!!

Just a quick note to say that we both survived our first day of classes (and by the time this is read, probably our second day as well!)

Ryan was shocked and amazed at how polite the children are. He handed out ten books to each of his 22 kids, and he received 220 thank you's. So cute. And he also got a really nice compliment from one of the fathers about how it's nice to have young blood and someone from overseas to do things a little differently. He was really encouraged by that, and is looking forward to going back. And the staff were really nice too, that was one worry!!

My first day was good. I forgot how many 28 kids is, especially when I am the real teacher. The kids are likewise polite, but sometimes a little too timid. They don't offer suggestions or questions when you explain something, which could be a blessing in disguise, but at the same time, it's frustrating!!

I don't have much time, so I will forward all my funny stories later.

Much love.
