this week i've been going to junior academy which is a private school in malawi so all of the children speak perfect english which made teaching a whole lot easier!! it was a lot easier to interact with the children and i didn't need joseph to translate for me which meant i could tell the story at my own pace and know exactly what was happening.
the classes were a LOT smaller than in the public school with only about 15 pupils in each compared to 150 but they weren't as well behaved, it is a christian school so they have constant singing and bible teaching and joseph is in comes into the school a lot with the SIM team so i think they have become so used to it that they've started to take it for granted. although that didn't stop them from asking me and kaitlyn to sign their workbooks when we were leaving and queue up to get a hug from each of us.
i had today off because joseph had something to do so i went for a walk this morning for a few hours and found an amazing bakery which reminded me of the one we found in Salou a few years ago and i started to miss all of my friends back home so i bought a bun to cheer myself up.
now i'm in the office updating my blog and trying to plan the lesson i'll teach next week when i go to Kasungu with the sunday school training team.
and that my dear blog readers is everything that has happened in the life of matty the past few days.
i think i'm going to do a sponsered run/walk on saturday so i'll let you know how that goes.
matty :)
