Help from Julio

A little piece of home (gonna look for the owner later)

Sorry, don't have much time to write, but this week was good! We have investigators who are progressing well--a few families and a few others. Found and saw miracles and heartbreak as always. 

found my name on a trailer

Funny thing:

After a lesson with one of the families, they were talking about how much my Spanish has progressed since the first visit (about 3 weeks in). I was telling them (or trying to tell them) that it was still a bit of a struggle to express myself and say what I want (a huge struggle) but I was working on learning and studying more, when one of the sons (Julio-10) jumped up out of his seat and ran to his room. 

We were all a bit confused as he ran back, carrying a large coloring book. He handed it to me and said it was to help me learn Spanish. I opened it and found on each page there was a short (5 or less words) description of the picture in both Spanish and English. 

I thanked him, and you better believe I'm going to be using it to learn how to say things like jump rope, and bucket (and other basic phrases that I have no idea how to say). 

Love you all!
