Surprise!

Sorry for not updating much this week. We had a surprise.

We knew about the volunteer team that came last week. We had planned, emailed, done pre-trip legwork. The week went wonderfully, and we were quite pleased by the end of the week. The team went home on Saturday.

Sunday, we went to church. On the way there, we realized that there were Americans joining the service. We greeted them, exchanged some chit chat, etc. and went to our seats. Hannah was reading through the bulletin and realized that there were scheduled events for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday nights. We found that interesting, realizing that the events coincided with our English classes. We made a mental note to ask if we should cancel our classes. During the announcements, we found that the Americans were going to be working in the schools. We found that interesting, considering that 1. we didn't know any Americans were coming and 2. WE work in the schools...we could have helped them, seeing as how we know a lot about the schools.

After the service, we went to ask about our night classes. After a really long, frustrating, lost-in-translation conversation, we learned that we were expected to cancel all of our regularly scheduled classes and go with the teams to their schools. Basically, we'd be doing the same thing this week as we did last week.

Whoa. That was a surprise. Didn't see that coming...

So, we've been busy with a team again this week. And, I now have a sinus infection. I missed Wednesday, due to a 102 F fever. My life is so exciting.
