The First Week.

I cannot tell you have much information or rather Spanish I have learned this week!! I feel as if my brain may explode from everything that is getting crammed into it!


Well this week has gone by slow yet fast in some way, I have loved going to class and being busy again! But most importantly I have LOVED learning Spanish! There are some difficult things in the language but my teachers have really had the patience to help me better understand everything, no matter how many times I have to repeat a word. Did I tell you I have some great teachers! (Reyna y Melissa) Reyna is my teacher in the mornings from 8-10a.m. and Melissa is my teacher in the evening from 3-5p.m. In the mornings we go over all of the grammar in Spanish and also go over new verbs and vocabulary words. After my morning calls I usually take a little break from Spanish and go check my emails and such then I go and study for my next class. I have those classes 5 days a week which makes it 20 hours of Spanish in a class room plus all of the time i put into studying. It's so much! My first two days of school I was in bed by 7:00 because I was just so tired, my brain was really on an over load! It’s been fun though. I like my teachers and I am learning a lot from them. There are three other Spanish students. One other person takes 20 hours a week with me and then there's one that takes 15hours a week. And then there's my roommate that takes 2 hours a week, She teaches English here though and knows Spanish really well actually. My morning class is mainly learning the grammatical ways of Spanish and my afternoon is more focused on getting me used to talking in Spanish.


This was field trip day. We got to walk to one of the Market places. While we did we had to obsevere all of the materials needed to build a house and also we had to learn the names of the materials and houses. It was a blast!

 
These are two other Spanish students, Brayan and Peyton, and the two ladies are my teachers!


Since I live on a bible seminary campus I have gotten to meet several new people, most of which are around my age. But there are also three missionary families that live here, and one single guy and then Gillian, my roommate. so I have a lot of new friends. and I have also met several missionary families that work in this area. I am, starting to attend a bible study that is for the missionaries in this area. I went this past Wednesday and there were like 20-30 people there. It was very nice. There is also a prayer time on Sunday night that is for the ‘team’ that lives here on campus, so I am very blessed to have the opportunity to go to that and share that time with my new team mates. (:

Here are some of my new friends. (:

 Hey you can pray for me. Next Thursday I’m headed to the North Coast to a high-risk orphanage. (It is located right next to a hospital and that is a place they have kids that have special needs, like medical needs and such. I know it’s going to be hard to see kids like that I have already heard some of their stories and it crazy to think about how much they've been through at such a young age. So just keep me in your prayers next weekend. I pray that God uses me to help touch these kids’ lives. I am so excited to be able to love on them! Just keep me in your prayers for that. And also that I continue to excel quickly in my classes and that I’m able to retain all of the information given to me. Well that is it for now. I hope you enjoyed. Until next time.
