My Birthday

I haven't written anything in a few days.

My birthday was Tuesaday. We started in the morning by spending sometime sharing with the tennis pro who is a Christian. We spent a great time of prayer right there on the tennis court!

After lunch we had to go run errands. We needed to buy gasoline and service the car. The nearest service station is 45 minutes from here. John wanted to take the car to get an oil and a lube and steam-clean the engine. We were able to do all that, plus pick up some groceries and started on our way back by 4:00 pm. We had just started on our way when all the traffic stopped. It did not look good when we saw people turning around. The road was completely blocked. I actually called our compound to see if there was another road. They told us that the only way would be going back almost to the airport and going around to another town. It would take almost two hours, and we had English Club at 6:00. Then we saw some drivers taking a dirt road to the right, so, we decided to follow the locals. It was a wild ride. We had no idea where we were. We ended up taking a few dirt roads until we actually got back to the main road, bypassing the accident! :) PTL! We were able to make it to English Club without problems.

Now for English Club. About 21 kids were there last night. They now can sing the ABC song, and spell their first name in English. They are so much fun. They kiss me when they arrive and when they leave. Last night we went over words that begin with B, and they colored a butterfly. Then we played games. Since it was my birthday, they also sang Happy Birthday. We gave them candy and sodas at the end. It was a great birthday party!

We all have a lot of fun at English Club!
