It's been very busy since Sunday...Where to start.Monday was a normal school day for me, but Judy is sharing the load with some of the morning teachers who each got another five extra students in their classes. At night, we had the staff potluck, always good, and then walked home.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week will be long days. Tuesdays and Thursdays are Bible studies and movie and chat nights with students and Wednesday, Sharon and Kel have asked us to talk at their church which happens to meet on the beach at 8 p.m.
Last night Jude went to the Bible study because one of her students asked to go with him. I ran the movies and chat--The Big Kahuna--with Danny DiVito and Kevin Spacey. The
y have been going well. We've had about 24-30 students each time. This week's theme is money. Five minutes before the movie started, one of my former students walked in and invited Jude and I to her grand opening of MaryKay products on Thursday evening. It runs into our movie and chat on Thursday and is about 25 minutes away, so it's a long walk there and back--besides doing the studies. After the movies last night, Jude and I left the dorms ad started to walk across the field by the school when a man stopped us and asked us where we were from. His name was Slava, originally from Moscow. We had a cordial conversation, and then he asked us about local churches. We tried to show him where some were, drew a map on a card for him and he thanked us and walked on. Kind of random...

Kind of random...We saw a couple of friends walking back to the dorms, and they wanted to stop for ice cream and cherries. After finding the first restaurant closed--even though it's still very light at 10 p.m., we found a second one open. We enjoyed apple cake, chocalate cake with ice cream, coffee, beer and sodas. That restaurant then closed so we started back to the dorms. Getting there, the front doors had been already locked and the security woman was not at her desk. We had heard Erwin , Shirley and Vytas through the second 
story window and yelled up for help. Erwin just wanted to throw us some blankets for the night...Nice guy. He came down and opened the door just as the security guard was getting back to her desk...

Her grandfather used to be the Postmaster in Klaipeda. Jude's getting stamps for post cards to send to her 1st grade students. Jude also picked up some nice prescription reading glasses. [MIDDLE PHOTO] The Soul Outpost, held at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is a time for students to gather and sing and hear a message about one of the week's themes--money this week.
