Woah!! Since Friday of last week, our workload has been heavy and trying. Friday we each had a test in our language classes, and Monday we had grammar tests. We have had lots of homeowork this week and have needed to do extra studying. Today, I had to to a 1 hour presentation. I don't make hour-long presentations in English how would I do one in Spanish. The first few minutes of my speech I said very little correctly, but towards the end I felt that it went very well. In fact, I even ran out of time. Today, Matt had not 1 but 2 presentations to make - a Bible Study in his tutoring session and a 15-20 minute presentation on some religious sect or cult. For that presentation he chose to talk about the Bahai religion.
This week in my grammar class we started on a subject that we will be camped out in for about the next 10 weeks. Matt is trying to conquer the difference in the two types of past tenses (For anyone who speaks English as a first language learning two types of past tense is confusing). We are learning an imense amount of information and words in our classes. Even when we don't have homework due the next day, we have to study a lot just to stay a float.
Next week I am required to do a Bible study for an hour, and Matt is required to explain why he wants to do the ministry that God has put on our heart.
We praise God that we have this great opportunity to learn the language of the people we will be working with in Honduras. We also praise him for the weekend and a time to rest. Have a blessed day.
