2nd Trimester!

Lots has happened since I last wrote on here. First of all, we finished our 1st Trimester of Language School, which meant that there was a graduation for some, and then a couple weeks off.

Our good friends & next door neighbors, Dave & Debbie Amsler, graduated after a year here, and then left for Guatemala. We really miss then alot. We had many good times, meals, and laughs together (we would leave our apt. doors open, and eat together often), but we are excited for them as they get started on the work that God has called them to in Guatemala. It was with mixed feelings, as they packed up and said goodbye as they left for the airport that early morning a week ago.

Also, 2 of our former staff (and good friends:), Gina and Sarah Rose, came to visit us for a week. We rented a car and took them to Manual Antonio beach..where we saw monkeys, iguanas, crocodiles and various birds in the jungle. We returned and just enjoyed their company and doing some "catching up" with people from back home!

Now we have started our 2nd Trimester of Spanish, but this week we are taking a course on Missiology (in English) before starting language again next week...!
