12 March 2011. The Excel classes have been going well. Not fast, just well. Our pace is controlled by our electricity shortage. We are still having electricity only about half the time—a nation-wide situation. Tanzania is in great need of rain, not only to refill important hydro-electric reservoirs, but also for farming and food security. Please pray for that, it’s more important than the Excel classes.
The English classes were going pretty well, too. The panic I felt at first has faded away, now replaced by a sense of enjoyment of the time spent with my students. And they now seem to enjoy the time with me, after they got over their feelings of intimidation. The first week of class was a good success. But then I took off a week to a attend conference in Kenya with Peggy. The week’s absence had a serious affect on class attendance. This past week, only one student showed up on one day. I guess other things came up. That can happen when you live life on the edge.
