| May 31st, 2005This is our last week of classes. We have a grand total of three tests this week. Two at LanGrow, our language institute. And then one on Saturday, the OPI. This is the one that counts, it’s given by the IMB. If we don’t reach a certain level we have to go back to school!
Class with Norka today was really good. She had a lot of questions about what we believed. One thing we were trying to explain to her (that she was having a really hard time wrapping her mind around) was the fact that we don’t go to church or pray or read the Bible to earn God’s grace, but because we already have it! We do it out of joy and love and wanting to know God more . . . not to earn his favor!
Good luck on all the test. It has been so awesome to be able to read about ya’lls journey. I am so happy for you guys! have a wonderful week and God bless.
*Wondering how much Spanish you had before going*
We are looking into some pre-Costa Rican Spanish lessons this summer. It’ll cost $2K for the 5 of us, but I think we may do it.
