After one week at CLM, we have quickly realized that there is an endless supply of things to do each day. When we walk out our front door each morning, we’re not sure what will happen by the time we reach the “big house” where the children and single missionaries live. Usually within seconds of closing our front door, we are greeted by screams from several children and are literally attacked before we are even halfway across the yard. Although we are thrilled that the children are excited to see us, parents who are reading this know that one or two kids are a full-time job…and we now have 36!
Although it was never a problem to manage behavior in my classroom, I have found it extremely challenging here to discipline in another language. It can be very frustrating to start a sentence and realize in the middle that you are not sure of the correct conjugation for the verb! It loses the desired effect when the child being disciplined doesn’t understand what you are saying!
As always, thank you for standing with us in prayer, believing that the Holy Spirit is transforming each of these precious lives.
