Working in Mungeli
We had a long day today in India. We started it by hosting chapel. Joseph led music with a guitar, Mark did the prayers, and I read scripture and responsive readings. I love the atmosphere that is created by worshiping in Hindi, but it was nice to worship in your own language and share it with the congregation. Following worship, we went to teach all day at the school. We normally get to teach subjects like maths and English, because the shortage of teachers in that area. But today a lot of teachers were on leave so we were busy all day with an array of subjects. I even got the opportunity for the eighth graders to write pen pal letters to Sara's eighth grade English class in LaGrange. I have read a few letters, and it is going to be interesting to see how much Sara's students will be able to decipher and understand their writing. Joseph and I taught the last two periods of seventh grade. We spent a lot of time teaching them note taking practices and class order. We worked on plant physiology and ancient Indian history. After school, Joseph, Mark and I fiinish the bulletin boards. We are going to present them to Avinash at school soon. We are off to dinner and Kavita's amazing cooking. Sorry there is no picture for this post, because I am writing from Anil's desktop.
