Mom and I taught our first English class together on Saturday.
We set up the class very prettily, with our chairs neatly lined up, a copybook and pen in place for each student. We had printed a page for each student with basic questions and greetings. Many church members had been asking when we would be starting our class. We did not know how many students to expect.
One student attended. Incidentally, we were having the English class on his veranda! Zacarias told us that he would announce the start of the English class on Sunday (the following day), but we had thought it had been announced that class would begin this Saturday. We decided to chalk this up to another language snafu and teach our sole student. Zacarias has been very eager to learn English and he delighted in having not one, but two English teachers.
When I saw him at church the following day, he was very eager to shake my hand and say in English, "Why hello, how are you today?"
