Hey, so last Friday was our last ESL class. It feels good to be done, but at the same time, I really wished we could still meet twice a week for … I don’t know what for but just to continue to build our relationships. I didn’t teach for money, I saw it as a [...]

the Good News
When I first started teaching ESL I prayed that I’d be a good teacher and that the ladies would be good learners. But as the weeks went by I found myself praying almost and only for God to give me opportunities to tell them about Jesus. If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ve noticed that [...]

Why oh Why
I taught ESL today.
One of my students arrived quite early so it gave us the opportunity to chat a little bit. To me, she appears to be the most “religious” one. Simply by the way she dresses and the way she talks about God, calling Him “Le Dieu” (The God). I asked her what she [...]

the BAPTISTERY
To be honest I had no clue what was the translation for “baptistère” in English. Viva Interneta. Anyways I found myself in a baptistery today. I mean, literally.
I taught English this afternoon and it was pretty warm on the second floor of the church. So I said to the ladies that the church should have [...]

There’s a sort of lighting that I don’t like. Like the one in the room right now.

You know how that I give passages of [...]

Me? Making waves?
When I teach, I like to keep a little piece of paper on my semi-desk. I wrote the words that a friend sent me at the beginning of my semi-teaching job. Here are the words:
I do pray that the Lord will use you in that setting and that these ladies will be faced with a [...]

2, 3, oh sorry, 4.
As you know, I’ve been teaching ESL classes to a bunch of happy ladies from the Middle East. I don’t know why exactly, but they like me a lot. Tonight was just the second class I was giving and they told me very bluntly, “You’re going to teach us more English after June” I felt [...]

ESL teacher.
I’ve been writing here quite a bit these last days. Probably because I’m in a new season of life and things change and new stuff happen. Well, I am teaching an ESL adult class twice a week until the end of June. We’re about 10 people, all the ladies’ mother tongue (L1!) is Arabic. So [...]
