Teaching English

We agreed to teach a small class one day each week at a local university.  Many of the students are christian.  The first day 37 came to class!  Needless to say, we needed help so we brought two native english speaking missionaries with us to the second class.  The goal was to have four small groups so we could work one on one practicing pronunciation and conservation.  Seventy-Five showed up!  So we now have six missionaries helping us.  We would not be able to teach this  class without the help of the missionaries.  They speak very good indonesian and are able to help the students understand what we are teaching.  We are teaching with six workgroups.  The postitive to all this is the students are eager to learn and thank us after each class.

This is Elder Kujanpaa.  He is from Utah.  The young ladies are quite taken with him.  He is 6'8"!  Only a small number of the young women are taller than Gail and most of the young men are only slightly taller then her. 

This is Sister Canty.  She is from Colorado.  She is 5'10".  Young Indonesians like to have their picture taken with tall foreigners.  After our second class, the students took many pictures with each of us.

 

This is my group.  I'm as surprized as each of you that I am teaching english!
