Expect the unexpected

Thought I would share with you one of my recent 'expect the unexpected' moments!! A few weeks ago one of the senior missionaries in the town asked if I would go into the private university in the city for and teach for a few hours. Since we don't have any connections with this university and we would like to I said - "Sure what do I need to preapare" "Nothing" came the reply, she explained that they were in their final year about to graduate and had never spoken to a foreigner before, and just wanted to ask some questions. So off I went just me!! Arrived started chatting to the teacher and she asked "So what have you prepared?" My train off thoughts were - aaaaaaah - what!!! - ok don't panic - she's not actually the teacher in charge so maybe she doesn't know what is going on, but aaaaaaah!!! So then met the teacher in charge so I said "So the students will ask me some questions" "Hmm no" came the dreaded response" There English isn't very good you'll need to teach them a lesson" AAAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!WHAT!!!! Frantically looking around the room no blackboard no nothing, and I had absolutely nothing with me. So I thought ok no point in panicking - just introduce yourself and see where that goes, so I somehow miracously managed to entertain them for an hour!!!
