So Tired!!

Oh my! Teaching these kids is the most tiring thing I’ve ever done. I feel like I could sleep for a hundred years. I have to have so much energy in every class it’s almost impossible. Plus, its 4000 degrees outside!!!! Well, maybe not 4000 but it is 90 degrees. And, for your information, 90 degrees feels a lot different when you can never retreat to the air conditioning. I’m doing better with it now then I was at first. I think my body has adjusted some, but it’s still really hot. I sweat all day long. Yuck!
The kids at school seem to really like my class; especially the little ones.  They think its fun because I play games and sing songs with them. I don’t think they’ve ever done that in school before. However, the school here is like a mad house. I have no idea how they learn anything. It’s so loud! There aren’t any walls. Just thin ply wood dividing each class. I’m in a tiny building with 270 children practically piled on top of each other. There are eight classes going on at the same time. That’s a lot of noise.  I’m just going to do the best I can and if they can say anything in English by the end of the year then I’ll be happy.
Please, pray God will strengthen my body and mind. This is very hard work!
