Update on the Hajduszoboszlo English course

We had a really good turnout on Thursday, 18 students!  There are two more who will probably be coming this week, too.  So if we don't have any dropouts, then we'll have an even 20.  We don't want the teacher-to-student ratio to be very large, so 20 would be excellent.  

Except for one brave young man, it was all ladies…their ages range from 20-something up to one in her 50’s. 
And yes, I asked my students their ages.  Not to be nosey, but so we could practice numbers (but hey, I told them mine, too, so it's totally fair!)   I had the beginners, Gary had the intermediates, and Holly had the advanced ones.  We were all so busy getting started and teaching the classes that we didn't get any pictures, but I'm going to try to get some this week.  Pastor Tibi seemed really happy with how many came and how well it went.  Good new relationships are being formed, and since the students are very motivated to learn, I'm sure their language skills will rapidly improve.  The English will be useful for many of them in their professions, and some are wanting to learn so they can visit relatives in the States.

Thanks so much for praying for us and for the students who're taking this course...please keep it up!
