I met with Steve in the morning to
learn the basics of being on staff with B2B and go over the policy manual. Afterwards I went with his wife Christy to
HEB (the local grocery chain). That was overwhelming to say the least! Since
I’ve arrived in Monterrey I have “lost”, actually no “ “, I HAVE LOST my
Spanish!! For some reason I am so nervous I can’t understand a word anyone is
saying and I’m far too nervous to attempt a response. I have a shot with kids or teenagers, but
they are the only people group so far that I have even been able to muster a
word to. Normally I can understand what everyone is saying and am just limited
by my vocabulary in my response, but this time it is the opposite. Dear Jesus, in Your Mighty Name I beg for the
complete ability to understand and speak Spanish. Supernaturally and instantly if you see fit.
Please.
Anyway, Christy was so patient with me
enduring our 3 hour shopping trip because I could barely read what was what. I spent
the rest of the evening cleaning my entire kitchen top to bottom. It is “just
so” which is just how I like it. ;)
Tomorrow to set up my classroom…
