Due to the hurricane season, we have been experiencing frequent power outages.  Our English classes are not an exception.  Last Monday, we taught by candlelight.  Each student had their own tea light to follow along with the lesson.   I couldn’t help but smile today, as I was reviewing their worksheets  and one had a burn mark on it.  My students were so understanding, telling me teacher, “we are used to learning in the dark, continue please.”

Hmm…  used to the dark.   A simple life with simple standards.  The more I teach, the more I learn from my students.

The lights did come on at the end of class.  It was a blessing as we were able continue with the Bible study led by Pastor Shiloh afterward.   Since then, we have invested in some lanterns.

May God’s Word continue to be a flame this world of darkness.
