First Week of Language School

We completed our first week of language school on Saturday, October 3rd. This week we learned to say the books of the Old Testament (Libros Del Antiguo Testamento) in Spanish, and we can now quote Romans 3:10, 3:23, 5:8, and 6:23 in Spanish. In addition to memorization skills, we learned basic greetings and responses to basic questions such as: What is your name? How are you? Where do you live? Where is the...? We had our first test on Saturday, and Rodney & I both made 100!

Next week, we will not be in language classes because the Seminary is hosting Pastor's and Leader's school. There will be missionary pastors, national pastors, and many national church leaders in attendance. They will be in class Tuesday through Friday 9 AM - 1 PM. Rodney will attend these classes too. Each evening, there will be a service at 7:00 for everyone. Brother Austin Gardner will be preaching these services.

We also have required reading for language school. We are on the first book. Once we finish each book, we must write a report about how we can apply what we learned to our ministry. (These books are in English.) Since there are no language classes this week, I am going to try to finish my first book and report. I also would like to get a head start on learning the books of the New Testament and our next required Bible verses.
