good class today...

Class today was on Body Parts and the Emergency Room/Doctor's Office. Had a lot of fun with our fake ailments and that ever present 'on a scale of 1 to 10'. 

Only one more class to go in this beginner's session. That will be on the subject of Clothing. Then the following day, Sunday, I will present certificates of completion at the Karen service. It has been a full and fulfilling two and a half years.

New Class Offered!

We are scheduling a class for December 4th on the subject of PRAYER. It is called the 'Language of the Bible and the Language of Prayer'.

We will be looking into some of the archaic language forms found in older versions of the Bible. Then we will have an interactive workshop on writing prayers. Many of the our Karen brethren have been writing prayers in English for use in the Karen worship. This will enable us to work together to strengthen our writing skills.

Watch for more details....

another lockout...

Locked out of the church! Couldn't get in for the Saturday class

Now we  have only two weeks to go to end this Fall's session for 2010. Discipleship Fair last week took over the church [for a very good purpose] so we had to change our schedule. Went to one and a half hour class to make up for lost time.

Fall Classes Start

Today was the first day for Fall classes. We met in the CBC parlor for the beginner class from 9 to 10. We will have to cancel two classes because of church usage. So we decided to extend the remaining four classes a half-hour from 9:30 to 11. This will give us the same 7 hours of classwork originally scheduled. There were nine students along with a child guest and Saw K Paw Htoo who interprets. He has been assisting me since the very beginning of my teaching the Karen community.

Teen Activity Day Cancelled

Unfortunately it was necessary to cancel the Teen Activity Day due to lack of enrollment and scheduling concerns.

Kiva Loan

                       Just made my 17th loan to Kiva.

This time it was to Irene in Peru for an agriculture loan; you can read about her on the Kiva website. The money for this loan came from my son and daughter-in-law for my birthday.
Every loan I have made to Kiva has been paid in full. It's a great way to help out. Consider it! You only need $25 at a time.
