Well, it’s official. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we begin our marathon of bus rides for the Kilimanjaro adventure! It’s definitely getting exciting.
We have received word that we have officially raised $120, and we’ve heard of many more people with money on the way! Thanks again to everyone offering support, whether that be monetarily or through prayers! There’s still plenty of time for both, as we are continuing the fundraiser even after Sunday.
Also, I figured I’d through in a very quick little summary of how teaching has been going lately. I learned that the art of the simple “drum roll” is fascinating to young teenage boys in Tanzania! Who knew? Now, whenever we are about to see a new vocabulary word for the first time, they see how loud and fast they can drum roll before I finish writing the new word. It’s simple, but it keeps the attention.
As for the seminary, they are slowly improving at the Breakthrough Saint Paul “Spirit Check”, or as I have been calling it, the “Wake Up”. The series of claps and desk pounds keeps them on their toes, and, honestly, it’s a nice little minute break to get up the energy, as they have a really tough daily schedule. We have some exciting lessons (in my opinion) coming up to work on mastering those pesky fractions, so I’ll let you know how those go sometime after the marathon.
…Speaking of which, I should probably go pack now! I’ll do my best to give a good rundown (pun intended) of how it all goes!
