Lesson plans and Sunday School curriculum were given out today in class. We met from 9-12 and Judy explained her lessons and development of her Children's Ministry curriculum-- a wonderful program in which she trains pastors and church leaders how to do ministry from ages 3 to adults. She does a lot with finger plays, music, drama, and personalization of the Bible stories. Our teachers loved it since many of them teach Bible classes at their local church or in the community as after school programs. Many elements of good teaching are the same for the classroom and the Sunday school class so her teaching dovetailed our training nicely.
After lunch, Jake, Sarah and I went for a walk to the river behind Michael's house. I'm always so amazed at how the donkeys can manoeuvre the narrow trails with huge loads on their backs! We found it very steep to go down--let alone go up again:) Today we didn't see any women washing their clothes in the water-- it did look like rain so maybe that was a deterrent. The scenery was so beautiful!

At 3pm we went to the market to do some shopping. I bought some Addis tea and a small coffee set ( and a KitKat chocolate bar:) Judy and Sarah bought gifts for their Compassion Child ( and chocolate bars too:)-- but the taste is not quite the same as in NA-- we probably have loads more sugar in ours:)
Jake just stood and watched all the people, animals, traffic, shoe shiners, coffee stalls, --you can't believe how much is going on anywhere on the streets let alone the market area!

We look forward to a day of rest, worship, and fellowship tomorrow!
Market day, Oh how we loved that!
