Dear All,
Today we started the oh so exciting adventure of Spanish Language School. Going into this we thought that we were doing very good on our Espanol skills and we joked that we did not even need to go to language school but as soon as I walked into through those doors I knew that my understanding of good spanish was a "little" different than my teacher's understanding.
At first I was feeling confident "Wow, only 8 hours a day. This will be a piece of cake" but as the hours went on, I felt my understanding of the Spanish language get smaller and smaller until I started wondering if even the Grado A that I am working on is to hard. I have 2 teachers. One for the morning who is kind and knows how to deal with a grumpy 12 year old, and the other for the after noon who knows how to keep someones attention and how to keep me from falling asleep.
As soon as we left the school for lunch I was seriously considering just getting "Sick" in the afternoon or maybe even getting "lost" in the streets de Antigua but after eating and a little time for my brain to recover from the damage done that morning, I was in a little better spirits.
Well it turns out that the "Americanos" That were coming are actually canadians and they speak French. Sarah and I had been hoping for some fun and exciting Americans who actually know what Dr. Pepper is and know what peanut butter tastes like, but NO we have to learn French as well and my bucket list is getting kind of full. After dinner we went to the Luna Grill or something like that and had Crepes for desert while racking our brains to find the answers to our tarea or homework. We were hoping to get away from the busy school day and just relax but WHO do we see sitting right next to us at the grill. I will tell you, it was Sarah's teacher on a romantic date in the moonlight. After all these hours of school and we sit next to someone from the school! What?!?!?!
Anyway, we had a great first day of school and if we continue our progress we might even make it to level B. I need to get to bed now. :)

- Dear friends, We began this blog in the summer of 2012 when our family was called to step "out" of our "normal" life as we lived it in Carrollton Texas and serve for 3 months at Housesofhope.org orphanage in Zacapa, Guatemala. A simple blog for our friends and family to stay in touch during our short journey. Since that season we have decided we will use this as a means to continue to log our journey, share our stories and create a platform to champion what inspires us. We hope you enjoy and pray that you are encouraged into action and deeper reflection on family and faith.
Wow. That sounds intense, but you can do this. I will be praying for you. Dios te bendiga.
