Forty-eighth Day

*  Bible Study:  Normally, my Bible Study meets on Wednesday, but this we had an African refugee come and share his story.  So two Bible Studies were put together to hear how this man's circumstances of fleeing his country brought him to his salvation!  We serve such a mighty and awesome God!!

*  Getting places:  One of the girls from Bible Study met up with me to help me go to tonight's meeting and then afterwards, I got a ride to the subway line that I live off of!  Always a great help, especially as it gets later and later and people live far out of the city!

*  3rd grade:  This afternoon, I had about an hour where I was able to go into third grade and just be there.  They were working on Bio Poetry posters (each child had received a paper where they had fill out things about themselves, i.e. wishes to, dreams of, wants to, who wonders, who likes, etc)....so I sat down at one of the desks and worked on mine.  They all thought this was really funny and teased me that I was the missing student of the day.  It was so nice just to be able to hang out with them and have fun and then chat with their teacher!!  I love 3rd grade! :)  PLUS I got all kinds of comments like: Miss Kidd, I like your handwriting.  Miss Kidd, your poster is so pretty.  And then my favorite: Miss Kidd, what's your name?  Me:  Miss Kidd.  Student: No, like your real name?  Me: Leslie.  Student: I like Miss Kidd better!  (hum...not sure if that was a compliment or not?! lol)  ... made me and Miss Brunker smile though! lol

*  Primary:  Some days in Primary, I feel at a loss as what and how to teach them.  Today I had some games prepared and it was fun to see how they responded to them.  They had so much fun and I really enjoyed teaching them today!   Plus everyone's behavior was pretty good - this is not always a given.

*  Mail:  I got a birthday card in snail mail today!  It's not very often that regular ole mail comes these days.  It made me happy... :)
