Valentines Weekend

It's kinda awesome that Valentines Day fell on Sabbath this year.  I got to enjoy the creative sabbath school lesson on love.  The church interviewed five couples from the church and asked them about their love with questions like "When did you know your spouse was the answer to your prayer" and "What was the sweetest thing they have done for you lately".  It was both comical and entertaining.  I like when the lessons are a little different, it makes it enjoyable and fun.

Potluck was great, I'm really beginning to enjoy Thai food.  Who would have ever thought?  I remember the first potluck I looked at the food and thought it was disgusting.  All the peppers and mashed fruits... it just didn't look appetizing.  Now, I take most of the things, except for the sum-tum, which is a really
spicy fruit salad.

Saturday was a very enjoyable day and went by too quickly. Sunday was a big day.  I taught from 8-3, with a one hour lunch break. I had a two hour kids class, and all of my kids were new and around the age of five or six.  I thought it would be more difficult to teach them, but I think it helped that their parents were in there.  I find it difficult to be teaching kids a second language when they don't even know how to write and read in their first language!  Nevertheless, the parents payed for the english class, so I tried my best.  Phonics, flash cards, and the ABCs were all we covered.  

After class some church kids went to a swimming pool, and Leah and I joined them.  It was enjoyable to watch them, but the humidity was devastating!  I soaked my pants with sweat, it was embarrassing to say in the least!  That sums up my weekend!  It was good, and it's weird to think that I only have about 10 more like this....
