Sunday School!

On Tuesday Tani and I taught "Sunday" School on our own (in Spanish making it a larger feat than it would be in English I can assure you) using Kristi's curriculum at a small church in a small town. The kids were great! We led them in a song, I told them a little story about a kid who almost steals 10 pesos, Tani taught them the Bible Story, we lead them in a game, and we passed out student books and safety-pinned a ribbon to their shoe reminding them of the lesson they learned at "Sunday" School. I really appreciate how the lessons Kristi writes are not about stealing, for example, but are deeper such as selling your soul for 10 pesos. This would include stealing, lying, cheating, and just about anything else, but at the same time goes way deeper than that.

The funniest thing about the class was that all the parents sat in the back watching the whole lesson. It made us slightly uneasy, but we pressed through and I think the parents actually enjoyed it. My spanish left something to be desired and at one point what I said was really funny to everyone. But I had a blast, and am looking forward to going back on Friday. It won't be on Tuesday because this week they are doing a different program and I'm not staying long enough for consistency.
