I Have A Headache




Our new English as a Second Language classes have become quite popular. We get about 15 people every Wednesday and Friday night and there is still lots of interest about the class in the community. Another lady drove here tonight and said she is interested in the classes as are some of her friends and neighbours. As with all people who join our English classes, we tell them that it is followed by a Bible study and most of the people stay for that, too. Moises teaches the adults while Brittany teaches a small Bible study to the teens that come. I'm very proud of her for taking this study on. She is a real go getter and is craving to have an active youth ministry to be a part of.
At a recent lesson we were talking about going to the doctor and how to, in the most simple way, say that you are in pain. I said to them "Just say the body part and then say ache. For example, 'I have a stomach ache', 'I have a foot ache', etc." When the English and Bible study class finished, we enjoyed some coffee and cake and watched the last few minutes of the soccer game between Canada and Mexico that was played in Edmonton. In the closing minutes of the game here was a rush of Mexican players toward the Canadian goal, a kick was made, and the Canadian goalie came out, made a great save but elbowed a Canadian defender in the head. The defender went down hard! Just then one of our students, Oscar, said "I have a headache." We all burst out laughing. The pictures above show the teens that Brittany is leading, the second picture is of the hurting player and the third is a closeup of some of the kids. The game was a tie 2-2.
