Today I gave my students a quiz over the material that we covered last week. They all did really well and compared to last weeks' quiz, they improved so much this past week. Last week their sentence structure was awful and they had nearly no punctuation. They are the advanced class so these mistakes should not be in the papers at all. So, after last weeks quiz I grilled them a bit and said 'Stop making these silly mistakes...READ your sentences before you finish.' Well, they sure did listen! Today's quizzes were so much better and it made me proud reading their well developed sentences.
For part of the quiz I had them write a dialogue about purchasing something. (We talked about buying and shopping this week). There were two dialogues that made me laugh out loud and I thought I would share them with you. [Please ignore their minor grammar errors]

Jolene: Do you want to go with me?
Irma: Where?
Jolene: Shopping, today I'm free, I will take advantage to buy a pair of red shoes.
Irma: My husband isn't there, I can go with you. You will buy something for me?
Jolene: Ok, it not will be an expensive thing. Agree?
Irma: Ok. (In the shoe store)
Irma: Remind me, what do you want exactly?
Jolene: I need a red shoes.
Irma: Ok do you like this one?
Jolene: Let me see, I think it's so big.
Irma: Oh! You are right, it's 8.
Jolene: What do you think about that one?
Irma: Which.
Jolene: The red, after the black next to the blue. You see it?
Irma: Let's go to see it together and you can try it.
Jolene: Ok, it's very nice.
Irma: How much you are available to buy it?
Jolene: It's affordable, I can buy it. What do you want?
Irma: It was a joke, let's come back home.
Jolene: Ok, thank you for your help. Let's come back home.

Dioro: Oh! Yes, let's go to the sun auto. What kind of car do you want?
Moline: I want to buy a jeep.
Dioro: I advise you a white tucson 2010.
Moline: No, I prefer a red tucson.
Dioro: I don't agree, the red car is for woman.
Moline: Oh! No, it's not true, it's depends on the person.

playing!

This morning we were able to go to Mergee to visit a school where Lauren used to teach. We got there while the students were on a break and so we got to just spend time playing with them. The entire time I had kids hanging all over me and I got so lost in the crowd! It was awesome to see the little kids and give them the attention that they so desperately need.
Tonight I took my last malaria pill while I am in Haiti. It still doesn't seem real that I am coming home in just a few short days. God has been faithful during my time here and I know he will continue to be faithful in the coming days and months ahead. Praise God for his faithfulness!
Please PRAY that I would stay focused and teachable during my last few days here. PRAY that God prepares my heart for a drastic transition back to the States. And PRAY that I can continue to listen to and learn what God wants me to learn both here in Haiti, as well as adjusting back to life in the States.
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
