Faith in Every Footstep

This week we worked on our 2 wheel chair projects, our 4 water stations, a school library project, and our English Class.  At our English class they asked us some questions that were way beyond us:  What is a subjective verb?  What is auxillary verb? What is a nominative case?  We think it is so funny, us teaching English! We need some of you over here to help out:)  Since all our students can read English, we just tell them to read, read, read--aloud. Listening to Conference talks and then reading them aloud is a good practice. Spend 2 to 3 hours a day doing this.  We tell them listening and then reading aloud is the best way they can get familiar enough with English that they can understand a native speaker and speak fluently enough that a native English speaker can understand them.  We tell them one hour a week is not enough to make hardly any progress.  They want to know all the grammer rules and they memorize a lot of words, but they cannot use the word in a sentence and they have no idea what we are talking about when we try to explain a grammer rule.  

We heard this week who will replace us the last of May, Elder and Sister Washburn.  This is good news so there is not a big gap between the Humanitarian senior couples.

This is Laurie--I was asked to lead the singing in Relief Society last week--the sister who usually does it is gone to America to visit some family--and this week the Presidency asked me to help them all learn to lead the singing--so, me, and our sweet translator, Taivnaa, explained about measures and 4 beats to a measure and drew on the white board the 4/4 time pattern--then everyone stood up and followed along as the two of us lead the song.  We faced the front so they could see the right direction our arms were going. Next week I need to watch them all lead so I know if they're getting it, or not. Then maybe I can have them take turns leading.  Anyway, it was fun:)
