One More Candid!

Another candid shot; this one from morning assembly.  It seems we have gotten into the routine of every day.  For PE this week we played an actual game of Softball. It ended in a tie 5-5.

Soulwinning   ---- 5 tracts ---- (still silent partner) 

This Friday our ladies' groups visited in a less-populated residential area right off the highway.  There were fewer houses than in the downtown areas where we were soulwinning last week.  Most of the places were "quintas" or rental places for people who come down for the weekend for horseback riding or parties. My partners were Jenny and my neighbor Jessica. Jessica talked to one lady who believed that we could choose our eternal destiny after we die.  Of course, they were speaking in Spanish, but I believe it had something to do with her belief in Pergatory.  She was polite to us and accepted the tract, but did not get saved today.  The seven ladies in our van won two souls.  We also stopped in to have a brief visit and word of prayer with a lady who was once a faithful member of Mt. Hebron who is dying of cancer.

New Food of the Week:

While chocolate-covered ripples were coming out in the US, here we were unveiling "Beanitos." These white and black bean potato chips were good, but not as good as the homemade chips served at many restaraunts here.

The makers of the best store-bought Jamaica have come out with Cucumber - Lime water that is really good!

Language Update:  
I recently realized that my students are repeating my instructions not to show that they understand, but to mentally correct my grammar.  It has only taken me three months to realize they are not saying the same thing I just said.

I got a little discouraged with having to repeat my Rosetta Stone lessons so many times.  It has been a few weeks since I have progressed more than one or two lessons.  I am determined to work with this on a daily basis again, and truly appreciate your prayers regarding my learning.  I become easily frustrated with myself.

Around Town

I am so excited that I actually knew where we were in relation

to where we live driving around the town last Tuesday evening!  Those of you who have ever gotten lost with me can appreciate what a major victory this feels like to me.  I even remembered one of the one-way streets! (Don't panic -- I was not the driver!) I am certain that the fact we were on the same block as the frozen yogurt shop has nothing to do with my amazing directional skills.
