Hi everyone!! Kenny and I are doing good. We are both well and healthy. I was sick a few weeks ago, but I am feeling much better now. Our barefoot class has ended and school has now started. We went to a few days of orientation and on Sept 1st our classes began. Kenny and I were fortunate enough to get to be in the same class. The classes are going good, but are definitely challenging. Our teachers are good and very patient with us. School starts at 7:30, but Kenny and I don't have our first class until 8:25. We love that!! Our first class is Phonetics where we are learning the alphabet and there sounds. We are being tested on it very soon. Our second class is Grammar. Right now we are learning verbs and how to conjugate them. In our third class we work on having conversations with people in Spanish. To say the least our teachers have fun listening to us. Of course the classes will get harder as we go along. Right now the teachers use English so we can understand them. As we get further into school they will start teaching only in Spanish. We enjoy going to school, but there is a lot of memorization and a lot of homework. We don't have much time for anything else. We go to chapel 2 times a week. We really enjoy that. The services are in English and are very good.
Other than school while in Costa Rica we have to involved in some kind of ministry. We are in the process of choosing one. I also go to a ladies prayer group that meets once a week. As you can see we are doing well and are staying busy. Hopefully sometime soon we will be able to write a little bit in spanish.
We hope everyone is doing well back home. We ask that everyone pray for us as we start memorizing everything we need to know. Pray that the language would come easy to us. We also ask that you would continue to pray for our safety, our families back home and the missionaries in Juarez, Mexico. We will continue to update as the days go by. Everyone take care.
