Mark wrote out a sermon in English, one of the members translated it, and then his tutor read it aloud for him to practice. He preached the sermon a few weeks ago. He has also prayed in Spanish at services. Our classes at The Spanish Language Institute have provided countless opportunities for him to practice since we students take turns praying before each session. The congregation has also been very encouraging through this whole experience.
Each week I prepare a Sunday School lesson in Spanish. The challenge is magnified by the three missionary kids in my class who naturally prefer English. It's quite a mental workout to have a group of kids all asking questions in two different languages. God is blessing our time and the children are responding well to his Word.
We heard about you through some friends of ours in Virginia that do know you but saw some literature about you. They sent your names to us and I looked you up. We plan to move to Montevideo by March 2013. We are with Camino Global and we have been in Mexico City for 17 years. We are transferring down to the Conosur to be part of a church plant team with our agency and a local uruguayan couple. When we get there, we would love to meet you. If you ever want to chat or anything, feel free to contact us. My skype is mexico.dude. My email is cwilliams@caminoglobal.org
