The Graduates

Well, we have officially finished language school.  5 weeks, four hours a day for Mark & a bit less for the kids & I.  I think what language school has taught me more than anything is how much Spanish I still have to learn.  It's a lot!!!  But we made progress & I can see that we will only continue to learn so much as we move into "real life" here.  We were not expecting the exhaustion that would come with learning a second language.  Mark & I have both found that we are pretty worthless most afternoons after we have been in class all morning.  Though we enjoyed our school & had wonderful teachers, we are glad to be finished.  Mark is ready to begin his work and I am ready to be mommy again.  So.... off we go!  I would ask that you all please say some very specific prayers tomorrow, Sunday, & Monday.  We will be driving a lot those days & the roads can be very dangerous because of traffic accidents, so please pray for a great deal of protection as we drive.  Thanks so much!  I'll try to post again on Sunday from Coban so you know we've made it safely that far.
