At the beginning of the second term, a missionary and I started a Scripture Memory class on Wednesday afternoon with the students. The students learned 14 scriptures, and two weeks ago, we held the first scripture competition drill. Twenty-two students participated and the dining hall was full of fellow students who came to watch and cheer them on. All did a great job and the competition was fierce. Phiona received 2nd place and Isaac and Lillian tied in a bonus round where they each had to recite all 14 verses without error. All students received a sweetie when they had to leave the stage—so everyone won something! It was a great afternoon, and we are so proud of what the children have learned.

Hi Becky, Karen here. Gail, Mary, Harriet and Debbie finished a little Bible Study called "Walk By Faith" and it talks about the importance of knowing scripture by heart. I read the verses into my i-phone and listen to them alot. Maybe I will learn them by listening. Congratulations to your students. They are amazing. Love you, Karen
