LETTERS FROM THE FIELD
China
It’s my delight to sit down and bring you up to date on life in China. My letters aren’t nearly as exciting as the first few since the newness and unfamiliarity has worn off a bit. We are thoroughly enjoying teaching these kids, however. That is exciting to us! It is so much fun to watch them respond to our love and attention. Like any teacher, we have our good days and bad days, boring days and exciting days; but we keep plodding along planting seeds and trying to build bridges along the way.
As I mentioned before, we teach in one of China’s private schools. It is a prestigious boarding school (grades Pre-K to 12) with an enrollment of about 350 kids. We live right on campus, so it is very convenient in many ways. We only have a two minute walk to our classrooms, we eat all our meals in the high school cafeteria and we get to interact with many of the children on the weekends. Many of the children don’t get to go home on the weekends because they live too far away, so we’ve enjoyed having some of them over and playing games with them.
