Teaching 6 children with a limited resources

Keeping the children´s attention in their first Bible class was challenging for Linda and me. We tried to get them to sing "Jesus Loves the Little Children" in Icelandic with the children not knowing the tune and Linda and I not knowing Icelandic. I think we did our best and hope they will try to keep the Bible classes. The lesson was simple and translated so I think that went well. They knew the answers as we kept reviewing. We had pages to go with the lesson that they enjoyed coloring. We hope the ladies saw how easy it is to teach a simple lesson without much material. Unfortunately after the children´s Bible class the kids left for another room and did not stay for worship. That was disappointing after we taught and encouraged in the week´s lessons how the children need to be in worship. There is still a lot of work to be done. William thinks overall much was accomplished so I will try to look at it that way also.

Tonight the four of us snacked together and played cards again. It is a good friendship.
Love to everyone and I look forward to being home soon- Katrece
