Número dos

man, this language thing is slow going. i mean, i guess i've learned a lot for only having been here three days, but i want to be able to speak, and all i can do is piece together a couple of uncongugated words (and that at great effort). yesterday alone Julio gave me like 75 vocabulary words to learn. today there were not quite that many, but we got into present tense verbs, so there is a lot more to learn with verbs than with nouns and adjectives.

all that to say, i'm chugging along, but it's hard, and so far there has been little reward to serve as motivation. really, for me, the hardest part is speaking. my mind doesn't work that fast when it comes to languge. if i can look at it, and read it, then i can figure out what it says. but to just hear it, or think it, and have it come out of my mouth at a normal speed is muy defícil.

it is also kind of lonely here. there are a lot of people, but i don't know them, and they don't know me. i've met a couple of the students at my school, and there is an english bible study tomorrow night that i will go to. but it's still lonely right now. yo estoy un poco nostálgico.

but it is still true.... the whole earth is full of his unfailing love. even if i don't understand it when it is spoken in spanish.
