2nd Week: First Week of Guitar Class

Hello every one

My God Bless you as you continue to pray for us!

This is the close of our first week of guitar class. Were pretty much putting the children through a musical boot camp, it is quite necessary because we only have four weeks left and that is a very short time to learn any musical instrument. For the short time they have really picked it up fast. Its a little different than teaching American children, most of these kids have never seen a musical note, have no idea what a sheet of music looks like or how to keep time. The children that are coming are doing very well, they are learning how to strum and have learned a few chords. To help the children learn faster we have set up a practice time after school. This runs from one o'clock to four or five, its worked well except that we have to have intense supervision. Teaching this class has really given me a lot of respect for teachers that i never had before. It takes a lot of energy to teach kids this age and especially if they don't understand you half the time. All the children are really precious, it was my birthday a few days back on the 22, so Barak had the children sing me happy birthday. The next day two of the kids had brought me gifts and following day another kid brought my something. Its a real blessing to see the smiles on their faces as there learning and their enthusiasm is awesome. We had some trouble with kids coming that were to young and from other schools just to pass the time but we resolved this issue and now things are running smoothly.

Saturday was site seeing day. We saw Red Fort, and incredibly large red fort. It was amazing to see all the architecture, carvings and inlay of stone. The landscaping of the this place was awesome, a river was once connected to a huge moat that surroundedhe fort. From this water was transferred inside which fed a stream which ran throughout the entire place, it was called the "the river of paradise". The Carvings in the marble and stone pillars and floor are so intricate. The inlay is amazing in these marble pillars you have flowers and many other designs inlaid with different colored granite and stones, it looks as if it was painted that how well done it is!

We visited another place that i don't remember the name of. This also had incredible carvings stone and an incredibly tall tower. This place had more long always of stone pillars and was more broken down, its a lot older than red fort.

We Also drove by the presidents house and office, it would be like driving by the white house. We also visited the Gate of India which was built in remembrance of all the soldiers that died in

WWI and the war against Afghanistan. All the soldiers names that died are inscribed on it.

Things are going well and i miss you all!!

Love in Christ
