Another Week's Gone By!

We've had another packed week! Spanish is going well . Kathryn and I hope to understand enough to navigate our way through Spain in November. We've been attending a Spanish speaking church with the Mills. This week we've been assisting the Mills with a Children's Evangelism Fellowship Bible school. It's interesting to see the laid back culture in comparison to the States. The church has a volunteer who picks up 30 kids per load (2-14 years old) in the back of a pickup truck. We've had an average of 60 kids each night. The final program tonight will include songs by the kids, a potluck dinner, and a viewing of the Jesus Film.

We finally started our dives yesterday! Leah is now a certified Jr. open water diver. Kathryn and I have 2 more dives to be PADI certified. Our dive master, Tatiana, has been wonderful - she is very energetic, patient, and encouraging. She even has me thinking about the advanced certification course- a major accomplishment considering I was hesitant to dive in the first place. The underwater view is amazing! We saw a shipwreck, lots of fish, coral, a Great Baracuda (AHHH!), and dolphins when we surfaced from the dive.

More updates as things happen. We are hearing the wireless will be back up on the 15th. Yay!
