" I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants, nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have on purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each hone should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 3:6-11

Learning Spanish


It has been four weeks now that my Dad and I have been in language school. Things are going well. There is so much information to learn! Things can get stressful at times but when someone starts talking to you and you understand what they are saying, it makes all the hard work worth it. It is so fun being able to walk by somebody in the grocery store that is talking on their cell phone and understand some of the words that they are saying! I am still far from where I would like to be but I am improving little by little each day. There is just five people in our level one class at school. Andrew, who is one of our ministry partners, Tom a very kind older gentleman, Stephanie who is a couple years older than me, we have become friends, my dad and I. It is a small school but I like it a lot. We end level one in two weeks and then we have a one week break. (yippee!) We will start level two on March 4th. You can be praying for me as I study hard to learn Spanish, pray that I will remember what I learn and be able to apply it to conversations with people each day.
