Simple things

Such a simple thing gives much joy, and today I had the chance to give to the 9th grade girls from Emmanuel School some fun flower hair clips.(see photos) They were made by Joy at Sunshine Church. But I got the joy of being blessed by seeing the girls excitement in receiving the flowers.
We have been teaching for 6 weeks at Emmanuel School and the Janet English School. We have taught flannel graph stories of Jesus, and life lessons - what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Praise God over 40 girls and boys this past week indicated there desire to follow Jesus.

One girl in particular has caught our hearts, because her name is Cecelia. She always has a great smile (which reminds us of our future daughter-in-law Cecelia's great smile) and comes to find us each Monday and Tuesday when we teach at Emmanuel. We also have been teaching (and learning) Rounders (English baseball) and completed the final competition games this past week. In both schools the 7th grade won the playoffs and competed with the 10th grade, and in both schools the 7th grade won the tournament! The school year ends here the end of April, so the children are studying a lot and getting ready to take exams.

Simple things - a kiss

A Hug -- Cecelia is on the right-oops caught her not looking!
