Lesson Taught
Bible Lesson 7: The Tongue 
Notes
Ida went to Maliga to teach about the Tongue. She asked one volunteer to red from James 3:2-12. After the reading Ida asked six people to come forward. Three men and three women, they lined up and Ida whispered a statement in one of the six member’s ear and the pattern to continue to the last person. At the end of the activity, the statement had completely changed. Ida encouraged the community to always think first before they say anything. Fida gave an advice to the community to put water in the mouth because they will not open it to speak which may cause the water in the mouth to spill. Everyone burst into laughter! Ida asked how can they prevent using the tongue wisely, By thinking before we speak, by stopping rumor mongering. Ida gave them a memory verse for the week from Ephesians 4:29. Next time everyone will recite the verse before the next lesson begins. The lesson was still going on but unfortunately it started raining and the meeting was closed everybody ran home.
