- As we told you a few weeks ago, we took an exit exam. Today we recieved the results. I think we were both pleased with our results, although they still have to be taken with a grain of salt. The results we received are still someone's opinion, the test was not an objective one, it was very relative. That said, my "level" of Spanish is considered Advanced Low. Rebecca recieved an Advanced Medium. The only other levels higher than us are Advanced High, and then the Superior level, which practically nobody receives. What the Advanced level signifies is that you can converse about practically any subject in a manner that makes sense, as well as understand a complex speaker as well. While it is great to have reached the "Advanced" level, we both know we have tons of work to do, and there is always more to learn. In fact, when we arrive in Ecuador in about a week, we will be learning all over. How the Ecuadorians talk, what their accent sounds like, their sayings, ect. are all going to be part of our new learning process. That is fine, it is all part of the process.
- Tonite we also had a little party at the house of one of our classmates. Most of the people that started school with us a year ago were there, and it was neat to have one last shindig and pray for each other. Among our class, people will be serving in Mexico all the way down to Argentina. It was neat to see all the comraderie (sp?) and especially how the Lord uses all of us in our individual ways and ministries. But, the hard part of being a missionary has begun once again, and that is the good-bye part. But we all leave in the hope and promise that one day soon we will all be together gathered around the One who called us together in the first place.
