We are grateful for the opportunity provided by One Way International to help some who wanted to learn English. Some came and then stopped. Some came and were sincerely interested in what they were learning in ESL class. One godly couple had pre-decided to be punctual, attend class each week, be excited and eagerly anticipate what they were going to learn. Both were so willing to keep working as long as necessary to accomplish the goal for that session. Jose often told me, “I really like this class because I need to learn English. Thank you for helping me.” They were both so outspoken in saying how much they appreciated the time we spent with them. So much so, it was humbling to us because it was such a blessing to try to help them learn English.
A few months ago, Jose was able to get a better paying job with benefits for himself and his family and he was so grateful. His supervisor recently told him that as he becomes more fluent in English he will have an opportunity to advance to a position where he will be using a computer. He is pumped! At our last class, they told us that they had both enrolled in SAC for ESL! Thank you, Lord! The four of us hugged each other and joyfully walked out with a spring in our step and a song in our heart for time well spent. Gene and Jeanette Shackleford—ESL Teachers
