Hope you like the new look of the blog. We have finished our first trimester of language study. We are not fluent by any stretch of the imagination but we can communicate and that is the purpose of our study.
We both completed our classes with all A's but the one grade that counts the most is our mission evaluation. There are 10 possible ratings in the OPI, our grading evaluation: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Superior. Each of these ratings have specific skills that must be demonstrated to achieve this rating. Our organization requires us to reach a level of Intermediate High before we leave language school for Guatemala and a level of Advanced Low before we leave for furlough. We both tested at Intermediate. Thank you for your prayers. It is only as the Lord has enabled us that we have progressed so well. Continue to call our names to the Lord daily. It is such a joy to go to Him in prayer and know that He has been reminded of us even before we entered His presence.
We are enjoying our days of vacation. We will spend time in review and relaxation. Monday we head with some friends to Volcano Arenal - we'll post pictures when we come home. Then the next week we are headed to the beach for several days. Then the next week we will again begin classes. Pray for safety in travel, refreshment in body and spirit, practice in speaking, and opportunities to minister in His name. Refreshment poured like rain upon our hearts and spirits...

Miriam,
Something happened to Google with the mike & thing too. I had a bennie & amp thing going on and had to go into my profile and correct it. That may be where the double post is coming from too.
Wow!!! Good going! Love the new look of the blog.
Happy Anniversary! We miss you!
