Tonight is the first dinner party we are going to have here. We are having all of Bryan's trainers over for Chicken Curry, Rice and I was planning a cabbage salad but will have to do a stir fry as the cabbage lost it's crisp appearance over night in the fridge. It will be delicious anyway. I am loving the fact I can find just about any recipe on the internet and therefore can look for ones that have what ingredients we can find in the market.....Before dinner the plan is for another time at Cricket in the street.....no one keeps score but it is fun for folks to be able to just hit a ball and laugh together. This should be a nice evening. We are expecting 14.....so borrowed the table and some dishes from next door.....
The English classes are going along well. It is taking quite some time for some of the vocabulary words and sounds. There is no 'th' in Portuguese so it is a difficult sound to make. Everyone has a good attitude and laughs together as they work on the sound. What incredible satisfaction when they can finally say the words.....so we work on 3, 13, 30, Thursday.....Thanks.
Also, the preparation for teaching the first aid training is ready for the classes. We plan to do one per day Monday through Thursday. Then the gentleman that will be training with me will leave for his month off. There is satisfaction in being able to do these type of things to help here.
Working at the hospital or in community health teaching has yet to become a reality. I find that the waiting is less painful than when I first arrived here. I'm so thankful for that. Perhaps I am beginning to leave things in God's hands and not push for my agenda. It is a day by day leaving desires there and actually makes for time here to be so much less stressful and more enjoyable. Now if I could practice what I am learning every day.......what a better state I would remain in. So it is one day at a time in practicing letting go.......
Better get back to the dinner preparations as people will be arriving soon......
