English Students

I wanted you to see the English students. These students are really serious about learning English. They read and practice and it shows. We are reading through the book of Mark so we have two purposes. They can read well and we are working on the comprehension and of course Mark is sharing the word as we go along. We meet weekly and about four members of the group were missing from the photo. Starting on the left, this guy is our computer expert, he has an IT degree and is also being mentored by the brother of our friend. The second gentlemen is Samuel, our friend, helper, translator and you name it he does it guy. His fiancee is Mary, next to him in the picture. They have been dating for almost four years and plan to marry on 10-10-10. They are on the five year plan. She has many jobs and is very good at making money. She works in the furniture business and banking. She is also helping some ladies sell embroidered purses that they make. I have already bought some to bring home. She sells them in Europe and the US. The last gentleman on the right is a new "friend" and has gone through some rough times at home but is so hungry. He loves learning and we are trying to help him with that. I could share so many stories but for now I will just tell you that we are blessed to be able to help them out. By the way you might notice on the table a box of Ritz crackers that Mary brought for snack but they remained unopened as I had made brownies and they all have found a new favorite American desert. I got a thumbs up from each of them. They should thank Mark, it was his idea for me to make them but he does get upset when there is only one left over for him.
