Teaching English to local immigrants

So I was invited in by our Mission President,
 Pres Cordon *to met with  is wife and the area? Regional representative for all the  church self reliance programs in California? I think it is.
.  Anyway My mission President wants me to be trained by the Rep in these English Teaching Programs . see below.
 Then I am to  tell him* about it . Then I need to find out all the stakes who are running this program and where and when the classes are, so we can invite people to it. I create a flyer that we can hand out to people to invite them.
 We want to help the many immigrant here (who want to learn English) to do so. 
This will in turn help them their  improve their skills. From there they can start attending the Church's pathway program that prepares them for college. For free if they want to access more education. 
So then here is the challenging part then is I am to help train other teachers about this program,
and I think I get to teach a class myself which  would be lots of fun
 Anyway with the Lord anything is possible. So keep me in your prayers. It is a good thing I  attended a program for teaching English as a second language back in 2007 and obtained a TESOL certificate . The Mission President and his wife seem to think I will be good at this due to my enthusiastic, outgoing nature and theater background. This could prove very interesting and is a little daunting but it sounds like I will have lots of support. Anyway I am definitely getting my abilities stretched................


aI think  that is all I can think of for now as far as any news worthy info.
On a side note:  I can also read while I am here, write letters on my blog or write family history stories as well as work on my own family research. Of course patrons come first! I am taking advantage of the temple being closed for the next two weeks (which in turn makes the Library really quiet for now not as many patrons ) to bone up on my abilities to help others. 
In any event I found a whole bunch of interesting thing to upload to my family tree.

Stay tuned..... love Adriana

My first convert baptism Estreniah Radcliff from Canada

I met Estreniah in the library a few months ago. We got talking, about life. I was helping her with the family search for a bit. She is nanny here, and it was her night off.  She had majored in Sociology and me in psych. We both love kids and had a lot to talk about. She sent part of her later life in foster care. So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...

Nice laundry facility A couple from my district. Her husband was a total crack up. They are serving in South America. what a great sense of humor and quick wit. The couple on the right were newlyweds. Their spouses both passed away within a year of each other. They met at the St George temple and became friends and then 6 month later ended up getting married. Then a year later they decided to go on a mission and  have been called to serve in Somoa. They were darling. Wished I was going with them. This couple was our "ohers" that we practiced teaching on/ They are serving in Africa and were wonderful.
