A glimpse into Language Learning



This has been a tough subject for me. Honestly it has seemed too hard, and I hate the thought of failing at something. Most of you also know where I am aiming for long-term service, and those people speak a language far from spanish, well, most of them. So, because Mexico is not the goal country, initially, I was kind of thinking and planning that I wouldn't really need to learn Spanish. I thought I would just be able to get by with the basic phrases and questions. Then just encourage through translators. I also didn't really think I would have the opportunity to learn. 

Then I went to the village of ML for 3 days and realized I didn't want to just get by at all! I realized the opportunity of peoples set before me, and I want to be able to talk through scriptures communicating with my heart to these women in their heart language. They need fellowship and discipleship, and to really be able to do that well I need to try and learn as much Spanish as possible! It is an urgent matter.

Thankfully The Lord gave me the blessing of a tutor for 1.5 hours today. A sweet girl I met at church told me she could come help me yesterday. I'm sure you have all been praying because He has also given me another for Saturday. He truly provides what we need to fulfill His purposes for us. He must know that I can learn. However, we all know that it will only be through His provisions.
