Sweet Rosita

I am in awe of God’s faithfulness right now…this afternoon I was able to visit with an elderly widow from the church I have been attending here. This means 2 things: first of all that God answered my prayer for someone to practice Spanish with! And second that my Spanish is improving since I’ve been here, even though most of the time I feel like it’s completely inadequate! Let me assure you that 3 weeks ago when I arrived here I could not have visited with someone for an hour and kept conversation going the entire time! Sweet Rosita and I talked about her children and grandchildren, Guanacaste (where she used to live in CR), all the other countries she’s visited, and her garden. I even got to taste a guanabana from her garden; it’s kind of like a green apple. Rosita also managed to learn in an hour that I have no idea how to sew and can only cook a little, needless to say I don’t think she will be recommending me to any Costa Ricans as a wife. Continue to pray for my Spanish and for other opportunities for me to practice! (Rosita and I already made plans for me to visit next Tuesday too!)

Also continue to pray for my support I still need a little over $3,000 by the time I arrive in Honduras on August 4.
