The Test

The Challenge: 
      To order a pizza for our dinner.  We wanted a large hawaiian pizza delivered.  Did I know our address?  How to say all of this in Spanish?  I called and had NO IDEA what they were saying--- he spoke so crazy-fast!!!  But I muddled through and.....

.....I passed!!!




On a much more important note.... for those tracking the status of Shirley Temple.... she is doing much better.  Augmentin is a wonderful drug-- and down here all we have to do is walk into a phamacy & ask for it!  Wild!  I think Dancing Beauty is fine.... we're still watching Little Monkey.  Thanks SOOOOO much for your prayers..... I slept all night last night for the first time since we got here!!!  Our brains are hurting from all the Spanish, but it's coming.  And we're also safe from Hurricane Ernesto.... seems to be going north of us.  We just got an e-mail from the US Embassy that the Alta Verapaz district (where we'll eventually be living) should expect very, very high rains.  Thankfully our teammates are on their way here right now, but you can pray for the people of the Ulpan Valley.
