SPIRITUAL EMPAHSIS WEEK

This past week we have had SPIRTUAL EMPAHSIS WEEK which means we have had a speaker from Guatemala each day in chapel and each evening. There was also a group of volunteers from New York who did maintenance work during the day at the school and VBS for the children at night plus child care. Praise God for volunteers. We never thought when we were doing volunteer mission work that in a couple of years we would be in an Espanola Instituto!! The other good thing about this week is that we had no homework or exams. God is good!! We were invited to go to the mountains in San Jose with our family on Valentine's Day. The weather was beautiful and it was a welcome break. Learning a lot about the culture. Andy got me some pink roses from a nearby flower stand on the way home from church. We ate lunch in the casa and enjoyed roasted pollo from a stone oven fired by wood with fresh strawberries and grapes from the Ferreteria. We enjoy going to the Ferreteria every Saturdy morning because you can find all kinds of fruits, vegetables, cheese, fish, flowers, candy, fruit juices with Latino music blaring. It is quite an experience.

WHERE DID SHE GO?

Twenty five yards of material is a lot to swing!

BIBLE STUDY

Thursday Evening Bible Study with Tico Family and Claire from Cailifornia and Issac from Wyoming.

Welcome to our Blog

Welcome to our new blog. We are living with a Tico family while attending classes. This family has been a tremendous blessing to us - Just think, no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning. We are able to concentrate on studies. God has given us a special gift as we interact with our family and two other students who are learning the language.

Here is a picture taken of part of our Tico family at a birthday party.


Pray for us this week - that we will have the ability to reason and to transpose that reasoning into Spanish using correct grammar and vocabulary. Pray that we will be able to communicate effectively in daily conversation and sharing the gospel of Christ in Spanish.
