There is a LOT of wind!
So... updates... I am doing good, though I have recently come down with a cold. But everything else is going good. I'm learning more and more Spanish by the day. I even had a long conversation with my host mom about the whole family and the dirt on them all, and I understood pretty much all of it! I was pretty stoked about that. Speaking of my host mom, Paty, we have a great connection. We take walks almost every evening where I marvle about the glorious creation that God has created here. Man! It was beautiful here! The sunsets take my breath away. It's like a rainbow stretches across the sky. And if there are clouds, the sun reflects on them like fire spreading wildly. Ah! So amazing!
I'm trying to think of what else I can report on... I'm not so lonely anymore. I get daily quiet times where I read John and just get blown away by how sweet Jesus' life was! My host mom takes me to chruch (though fairly different from what I'm used to), and this has been a great time to reflect on the Lord more. It's like I'm falling in love with Him all over again.
My students crack me up! They are so full of energy, y son todos locos, but I like seeing them on my days at the school. I struggle with getting them to focus and motivation to get work done, but what teacher doesn't struggle with that?
Oh! So, my best friends in Ojo de Agua are my host mom, Paty, the dog, Peckies, and a 3 year old boy, Josue. This last week, Josue and I played quite a bit in one day. At the end of hang out time, the adults asked, "Josue, ¿Quien es?" I chime in with "¿Como me llamas?" And he called me Josuesita. Isn't that adorable? Oh, I just wanted to box him up and keep him in my pocket!
Yeah... so things are going good. Keep praying for the students I teach and the students that are in the program, that they can see who God really is and that I can some how be a tool to show them or something. Keep praying for fellowship too. Though I am doing fine, it gets lonely when I can't share what I see or experience or learn with anyone else. Also pray that my eyes will be kept on Jesus and that I can encourage my family to follow the Lord. OH! and, of course, that I will continue to learn Spanish better.
Sorry if that was lame... I really can't focus well. But I pray for you all often and wish the best!
Vaya con Dios,
Leah
