Los Alamos

Darby, Megan, Andrea, Shelley and I have been volunteering in the English classes at two local "institutos". (These are schools of grades 6-10 and sometimes 11-12. It is only mandatory to go through grade 10 and so the schools with 11-12th grades are fewer.) On the girls' last day, some of the teachers took us all out to have a thank-you lunch. They have all of them gifts (not me, I'm not leaving!) and paid for lunch. It was nice to be appreciated. It confuses them that we do this for free but they are so thankful. One of the teachers even came to our weekly worship that week! After nearly 3 years of being asked, she finally came. Little by little, we're seeing results. Pray that God will use me in these schools as I continue to volunteer there next semester.
