One month until Honduras!

One month from today, we will move to Honduras. 30 days!

That is not very long, but we still have lots to do here before we can begin the next phase of our lives and begin a new ministry in Honduras.

1. School:
   -4 weeks of classes,
   -2 grammar topics (so that we will finish the book our school uses to teach Spanish grammar!),
   -2 grammar exams,
   -1 language exam (presentation),
   -the ECO - an oral conversation test that will show us what level of Spanish we have achieved in conversation,
   -the school's (3 hour) written grammar exam that tests our knowledge of all things Spanish grammar.

2. Other Stuff:
   -Thanksgiving Lunch with our entire school - a chance for us to share some USA culture with teachers,
   -Christmas party for a local orphanage that the students of our school Host,
   -Packing,
   -Saying goodbye to friends we have made.

Also, I have been asked by the church we are attending to preach a sermon on Sunday, December 4th. This will be the first time I ever preach a full sermon, and it will be in Spanish! This means that I have a lot of work ahead of me over the next 3 weeks to write a sermon, then 'translate' it into Spanish. Please pray that the Lord will give me the words to share with the congregation and that I will trust Him in my Spanish ability. I am so excited to have the privilege to share God's Word with a group of people and I praise HIm for giving me the ability to do this in another language!
