Second day of teacher training and all is going well.  The teachers seem to be grasping what is being taught and even getting a little rambunctious at times.  Some great questions being asked, also.  It as encouraging to see how much they want to bring their faith into their teaching.

The clouds rolled in this afternoon and cooled things off a bit.  No rain, but some nice breezes.  We enjoyed sitting out back watching the kids play soccer on the basketball pad, and visiting with Esaie and Natacha.
