One more week left here! And I have a feeling it will go by pretty quickly. I taught today and yesterday and both days have gone well! It has definitely been a good experience in just these two days of having the opportunity to teach, learn to teach and just practice different things (patience, enthusiasm, perseverance... english hah)
This week will definitely be the busiest week that I have here because I'm teaching during the day and studying the other half. Then, at night, I have various ministry things. I now have a lot of respect for people who are in school full time and who are working full-time. Whoo what a job!
I'm very thankful for this experience I have towards the end of my trip! I'm excited about the last week I have here, but also looking forward to coming home. Really looking forward to the time I will have afterwards to think and process this semester. Not to mention, I'm excited about graduating.
Praises! 1. I am not sick and haven't been seriously sick this whole time. Wow thank you Lord!
2. My spanish is improving (I am sad about not being able to speak it as much in the States)
3. I have an awesome spanish teacher.
Let me just brag on her for a second. She loves Jesus, is very smart, loves to talk (and listen heh), is easy to talk to, knows spanish... and she knits! She is incredible at it. Check out her blog at http://entretejida.blogspot.com/ Scroll down the page and see some of the stuff she has made.
Last friday, I went to her house for a little bit because it was her birthday. We had a good time together just talking. I am so happy that God provided somebody who can not only teach me the language, but encourage me in my walk with Christ! Yes, we go over grammar, vocabulary etc. But I think I have learned more spanish from her just from talking about anything and everything. I will definitely miss her when I leave! God didn't have to provide me with a spanish teacher, much less one that I actually got a long with. But He did both and more in regards to spanish learning.
God is good! Thank you for praying. Please continue to pray that I will redeem the time in the last week that I have here, and that I will continue prioritizing as it is more difficult with teaching taking up more time.
Gracias a Dios por todo que nos ha dado!
Ruth
