Last day of Class =(

Hey all!

Well, Mr. Cragoe and I just finished up our last full class time today... and Mr. and Mrs. Aspinwall are in the middle of theirs at the moment. I just took off my piggy nose; the topic today was wisdom, in honour of which we acted out the Three Little Pigs.

Tomorrow is the final test, including two written tests, one on the idioms and one on vocabulary, a oral pronunciation quiz, and their final projects, which they have been working on since the beginning of the class. The final project is for groups of 3-5 to perform a five minute skit giving an example of one of the concepts that we've discussed. Most of the students seem to have enjoyed this thoroughly, staying near half an hour after class in order to work on it. I can't wait to see what they've come up with. After the test and final presentation, we're serving ice cream and just "hanging out"..playing games, talking, etc. Twil' be good. =)

We've had a few students drop out since Monday; our class total today was 13. We hope and pray they will come back to the school for classes, so that they may create and build on relationships with the families and Mongolian believers here.

We got most of the students' email addresses today, so hopefully we can stay in contact with them after we leave. For the most part, it seems like the students have really enjoyed the class, with all it's topics, silly skits, and songs. One girl in our highschool class gave Gracie a postcard, with a little note saying something along the lines of, "I am very glad to have met you, Grace. I hope we will be friends forever". Today after class, Nomuun, one of our students, came up to me and said, "I am very glad to have met you and Dave. Thank you." This sort of thing is so encouraging!

Also, today at the end of class, we invited the whole class to come to the bible study held here at the Center on Friday night. Tomorrow we'll follow it up and see who's interested. After that, it's in God's hands who comes.

Keep praying for all of these students!

Go with God,

Brooklin

p.s. wow! One group of the students just came in and asked me what the word is for a "rabbit's beard" (whiskers). They've been here since the end of class, in the library working on their project, for more than an hour! They're skit is called "The Wise Hedgehog". They said it's very funny. I can't wait. =)
