So this afternoon we went out to the Salvation Army church in our region. Our group split into 2 teams. Half of the team went out and handed out fliers door to door inviting people to church services and to afterschool programs and stuff. The 3 of us that didn’t go door to door stayed back, and ran English classes for the kids that live around there. We had 6 kids there that we were teaching. They’re all super enthusiastic, and are so willing to learn English, it was a ton of fun to teach them. It was super hard though, because I don’t know any Spanish, I’m trying to teach them American English (it was actually a bit confusing, because I kept spelling words ‘wrong’), they all pretty much spoke no English, and they were all young enough that they were only starting to learn to read and write in Spanish. But it was still a ton of fun. We’re doing these classes 3 times a week, I’m really excited to get to keep working with the kids.
