Prayer Please

So, a quick update on my linguistic skills here...

I can't believe how much I've learned in just 2 short months... it's pretty amazing. I comprehend tons, and can pretty much communicate whatever... slowly.

But my goal was fluency. Maybe that was an unrealistic goal for just three months, I don't know, but I'm concerned about the level I'm at and returning home. I know I'll lose it.

We found out that we actually paid the school for an extra week of classes, so we are going to take that 11th week, and I would really appreciate prayer that in these last three or four weeks my spanish would really start improving. I'm not to a point where I could get a job translating at all right now, and I need these next weeks to really count. I would appreciate prayer! (if you have the time, you could pray that I never get served the tongue again as well... lol...)

With taking that extra week of class, we lose a week of travel, which is a bummer, but my main purpose for coming here was to learn spainsh, not travel.
So we will only have one week, and we've pretty much decided to head over to the corn islands for that week and relax on the caribbean, which I'm pretty excited about. :)

anyways, yeah... prayer please!
