Condoms in church??
We have had a wonderful week here in Punta Gorda. Teaching in the mayan villages was quite an experience, but I must say that the most memorable teaching experience so far happened yesterday right here in town. We arrived at Punta Gorda Methodist School in the afternoon and spoke with the principal. Unlike almost every principal we have encountered so far she was completely comfortable with us talking about everything from condoms to birth control to homosexuality. They decided that because we were short on time they would combine the three older grades and do one giant lesson in responsible sexuality. We thought this would be a little challenging to handle a large group of giggly pre-teens but went along with it anyway. Lacking a large enough classroom they also decided to hold the session in....get this...the church! So we set our demo condoms on the altar, our penis diagram in the bible, filled the pews with kids and set off on one of the best presentations ever! The kids loved it and even the teachers wanted to know more after our presentation. It was pretty funny though...there's something so ironic about teaching contraception from the front of a church! We're off for a few days as it is a long weekend! Hope everyone is enjoying May 2-4 at home!
