Another Celebration at the Beach!

The future Marriage Class Teachers!

So we got to go to the private beach of some friends again last Sunday. It was a celebration to the culmination of a marriage series beging tught by our friends. Every year a group from Wisconsin comes in the summer time and teaches a marriage seminar to the locals. Recently our friends went through this material again with a small group of locals who would like to go on as leaders and teach this seminar in their communities. So this Sunday they celebrated graduating their class. We were not in the class but were blessed to be invited to the celebration anyways. It was great to get to meet some more locals who are wanting to be leaders in their communities and to make a positive difference in marriages. We had fun talking, eating and of course swimming in the lake. Isaac and Josiah got to play with more kids, they had a lot of fun. Craig and I tried to listen to a lot of conversations and practice our conversational Spanish some more. All in all it was a great day.
I also have had an answer to prayer. I have met a mother of 3 whose kids are similar age to mine. She is wanting to learn English and I am wanting to learn Spanish so we are trying to help each other. It should be good for our kids as well. She brings her oldest daughter (5 yrs old) to music class right by our house 4days a week. So while she is in her hour long class we sit and talk and our younger kids can play together. We are trying to get our families together soon as well. This is a wonderful blessing for me because I have been pretty isolated with the kids every day. I am looking forward to having a good friend and learning more Spanish.
