Indepth update

Wow I have just been a lame blogger this month. When I do write a post I don't write much and it's usually not presented in a very fun or unusually way. So if my post just keep getting lamer and lamer but as my language abilities advance I seem to be able to do more jobs. In addition to doing more jobs, this month and next month are turning into a made dash. Possibilities for projects and area where I can help abound. We just got so much to do in the next month. It's great I'm loving the challenge and the opportunity to go in so many areas. One thing you can be praying for is my Spanish. I seem to have hit a wall in structure and in verbs. I know I've made a lot of progress but I want to be able to speak and communicate even better. Just pray that I push myself in new ways to really grow in my last full month here. Time is running out so quickly. Learning the language was very important 3 months ago, and now that the end it in site I wonder what I'm supposed to be doing. I still want to learn Spanish but I need to find that spot and reason why God has me down here right now. I'm still going to be teaching and coaching but what is going to be the capstone. What is going to be the thing that God will say " You've run the race, well done good and faithful servant." I really want to finish strong and with me feeling like I've hit a wall I wonder if I need to be focusing a little more energy on language or people. Just my thoughts, I'm learning and having a great time anyways, I just need to find that sweet spot.The guy in the jeans and the orange shirt is on the soccer team I play in. Really nice guy he was Catholic but just last night excepted Christ.
