Everybody started school today...well Matt his course, Alex was my student and Ashah kept telling me she was my teacher! I should let Matt fill you in on how his day went but he's doing homework (already) he has a class to prepare for in the morning. He did enjoy the first day and learnt so much already he had lots to tell me about. He came home at lunch and seemed a bit overwhelmed but when he came home after class he was much more relaxed and confident about approaching the work. Alex was great today and I was so proud of his thinking skills when it came to maths, he picked up a pattern in some addition equations. Ashah was coming around making sure we were all doing our work!
It was ok getting out on my own with the kids today, I was a bit apprehensive about getting the taxi, but it was all ok and worth the trip to the 'Snap' Cafe, a very nice oasis for the kids and I.
Yesterday we finally managed to find the church we were looking for. It was in a house and there were about 70 people. You are only allowed to attend this church if you hold a foreign passport as the Vietnamese authorities don't like their people to be religious. They definitely don't encourage sharing about Jesus or talking about God and have been know recently to terrorise local Vietnamese Christian churches and abuse their pastors. But it was great to see some local Vietnamese people at the church we went to, you realise that with God nothing is impossible, He transcends all circumstances even those that people try to lock Him out of.
Now we are looking forward, as tomorrow is the first day of March, and that means there are 13 days until Nonno Sal and Nonna Carmel come over to join us!
Love reading your comments and also thank you to all the people that have sent private messages we enjoy getting them, thanks for following the blog so far :)
