Back to school, back to school

Well this week I’ve helped Amy (my mom while here) in her classroom 3 days. She teaches 3rd grade and only has 8 students, which makes it easy to memorize names. Each student is from a different country, how cool is that! I was able to help with some science experiments, math, spelling, and read a story as well. It’s been fun being in a classroom again. One girl said I should become a teacher there cause she likes “guy teachers”.

On monday I got a djembe(african hand drum) lesson from a guy who plays professionally. It was very intense and tiring, but so fun. He doesn’t speak much English and I don’t know any French, but we were able to laugh, smile, and have fun through drum beats! He’s also having a djembe made for me to bring back. I’m very excited about that! 🙂

Tomorrow afternoon the Nehlsen’s and I are heading 3 hours away to Nazinga. It’s a game(animal) park that is very popular. We’ll spend the night in huts there and explore saturday. I’ve heard from others that elephants are all over the place, so it should be a really cool time! I’ll have some up close pics to post. 🙂

God has been so good! I’m not sure why God is choosing to use me, this world is so huge and God is in control of it all. I’m in awe of His love! 🙂
