Thad and I (with kids in tow) spent two hours last night in a private Spanish class....my brain was hurting afterwards, but I am amazed today at how much better I am doing. Thad has spent this morning going to Bible classes in the school with one of the ministers here in Trujillo (Fernando). He just came in he is amazed at how much he is learning...now don`t expect us to come home speaking Spanish but we will perhaps at least be able to grasp and respond in a basic conversation...we`ll see...prayer for our efforts because we can do so much more if able to understand and speak the language! although we might have to be in conversation together. Thad understands the conjugations and sentence structure much better than I, but I understand the spoken words better than he....yep, just like everything else in our home, this is most definitely a TEAM effort!!
Annina started her classes this morning. Two hours as well, with the same teacher. She just walked in the office from her class and I think she`s feeling the same...ha ha!! She goes separately than us as she already has a grasp on the language just is working on increasing her skills and vocabulary! I am confident she will become fluent before much longer!! She was kind enough to cook dinner last night so we could eat quickly after class so we could join the goodwood team for devo on their last night here.
The Goodwood team headed out this morning. Amazingly they got off early. We went down at the scheduled departure time to say our goodbyes and they were gone already. Fortunately we had hugged and shared thoughts with some the night before, but we had still hoped to see them off in proper fashion!! So if you are reading this Goodwood team, we SO appreciate all the work and smiles you brought with you to Trujillo!!!!!! We look forward to seeing you again next year!
The team are now enroute to La Ceiba and will fly to San Pedro and on home tomorrow. It will be a long day of travel for them tomorrow that we pray will go smoothly!! Thank you to their families for sharing your loved ones with Honduras!!
We are off to enjoy some of my favorite tamales a friend has prepared us for lunch....my stomach is growling!!

Hola Raquel y Pablo!
It was very nice to meet you down in Honduras. We had a safe and eventful trip home, but I am glad to report that we all made it in one piece.
Que Dios les bendiga.

Hola! Check your email if possible. Love you guys!
Sounds like you are really making a difference down there - and having a wonderful time as well!! I sent you an email just now but in case you aren't able to check it - I'm back on flight duty and will start checking the flights periodically... Right now there are 9 business and 10 coach on the 1st flight (you guys are #6,7,8 & 9 on the list) and the 2nd flight has 7 business & 44 coach (4 people listed).
There has been lots of goings on in Menlow Station since you've been gone!!! We'll have to fill you in when you get back... (however, Chloe hasn't made her debut yet - although I thought she was going to the other night on a walk around the neighborhood!)
Miss you guys! Talk to you soon! Love, Rachel, Matt & Caroline
