So I am going to try to blog some of my journey to prepare myself for next summer. Laura and I have written out pretty detailed goals and objectives for the next year. We do not want this trip to creep up on us. I really think that God has had a hand in my decision to work in Honduras next summer. Later on today I am going to blog some about the actual trip. One thing that really stood out to me during our week in Honduras was how close we were able to get to the Hondurans on the brigade. I think that the container not being released was all part of the plan. So anyways I am trying to really work on my Spanish. I was recently given a Spanish/English Bible and it is really helping me. I have been memorizing versus in Spanish so I am not only getting practice in the language but I am able to really think about what the versus are saying. On August 1, Laura and I will begin teaching the children's class for the Hispanic congregation on Sundays. I am really nervous/excited about this. I think it will be very good for me to go out of my comfort zone and actually use the Spanish I have learned. Ana Maria always says that the best way to get comfortable with Spanish is to use it. Every time I see her she makes me recite a verse and speak some Spanish to her. I love being held accountable. Throughout the year we are going to try to keep ourselves focused on our longtime goal. Although there will be times when we get caught up in life and school, we want to remain focused and we want to make sure that we are prepared. I really think this is going to be a good year. Even though I wish it would just go fast (or that I could just skip my senior year) I think that God has great things planned for this year. More info on my Honduras trip later. About to leave work!
God Bless!
