We also had a really cool experience with a teacher in town. She teaches kids 10 yrs old and under, simple English words, with the worse pronunciation you have ever heard...but hey, she tries. She doesn't speak English herself just reads from a booklet. She could not understand that we are not English Teachers looking to teach English but Bible Instructors looking for English speakers. She was insistent on us meeting her kids, She said she taught 2 girls that were from the States, so we set up a time to come back the following day.
We met no one that actually spoke any real English, but it was a really cool experience. We had plans to show the Caleb videos to the kids in English, but the kids only knew words like 'please' and 'thank you'. So, we showed 3 videos, first in Spanish then in English, and asked the kids questions about what they learned and what new English words they learned. The kids really enjoyed it, some of the kids' parents were there and really appreciated our time and wanted us to come back.
Theses are some of the kids that we showed the videos to and gave them English bible brochures, so they can practice their English. The kid on the right was older so we gave him the Listen and Live brochure
