Wow! It's coming fast. There is still a lot to do before leaving. I technically don't even know for sure what day I am arriving in Guatemala. I'm pretty sure we have to be there August 1st... that's probably the first thing I should get sorted. I think we're supposed to have a conference call soon to sort out all the "small" details... you know things like when and where we're suppose to be heading. As many of you know I am definitely a planner, especially when it comes to traveling. I'm eager to book my plane tickets. Even more so I'm eager to know where I'll be staying in Guatemala so I can scope it out on Google Earth! A few people have told me about some beautiful places to scope out while going to language school.
Speaking of language school, it reminds me just how much work I have ahead. Unlike my fellow missionaries I've now been out of "school" two years. I remember well the sense of freedom I had after taking the last test, turning in the last paper, finalizing the last project. After nearly 2 decades of schooling I was relieved to be done. I guess it goes to show that learning doesn't stop or at least shouldn't stop with a diploma. I really am excited to learn a new language. I just have to get myself back into the mindset of studying and memorizing.
Anyone have some good pointers on learning a new language? (I've already started "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Spanish". No comments from the peanut gallery on that one please.)
Make today your best day!
Adios!
