Teaching and Acapulco
Hey guys, hope all is well, i started teaching english on Wednesday and will be teaching 6 different classes once a week for an hour each. I have enjoyed my first few classes so far and even had one kid who expressed interest in coming to a Bible study in English, which is cool. I think most people were surprised when they walked into the room and saw me and were wondering who I was. I also started teach two days a week for a few people that work at the Mexican headquarters of Campus Crusade and don't speak English. It is a group of 5 girls and when I asked them why they wanted to speak english most of them said because they wanted to understand the American missionaries when they talk in the office. This kinda made me sad, that even in their own country they feel somewhat out of place because people are talking english. I don't think its anyone's fault but still to think about it makes me sad. Also, this monday is a national holiday for Constitution day and as such I am going with some friends to Acapulco for the weekend. I am going with some people my age from the new church I go to in Puebla. As a funny side note, when you go into grocery stores and big box stores like that you have to leave your bags at a special desk. Some lady in front of me dropped off a bag that I noticed was making noise when I realized that she left a little bag that had a duck in it and when I returned to pick up my bag the duck was making all kinds of noise and the walmart workers didn't seem to know what was going on. Just thought it was funny. Hope all is good with you. Thanks for your continued prayers.
