I love to think about all the new connections my brain is making by simply living in a different culture and learning a new language.
Last night and today was the start of the staff training here which I am included in for now. Markus has been preaching about the new year and our upcoming goals, the things God is calling us to, the negative attributes we must leave behind. Spending two and a half hours listening and speaking Spanish today has completely wiped me out. The people here say I am doing really well with the langauge...thank You, God! Every day I learn some new words, and my mind adjusts to listening more and more. Today I learned the word for peanut butter, which is a very important word in my life! :)
Before I forget I have to complain about this one thing: When I first arrived I was under the impression that they really weren't many mosquitos, because, in fact, I saw my first one just as I was typing this to you! The problem I have learned is that the mosquitos here do not make the buzzing sound!! So instead of having some sort of warning, the nasty little guy gets ya every time!! I'm not happy about this at all.
Okay here are a few photos of the place I'm staying at for those of you who don't have facebook!
I don't have much time, but please pray for me because I am having some stomach problems right now. Thanking God for His goodness, healing and protection, I'll be just fine!! Thank you! !Chao!
