So here we are in the middle of March. How time does fly! So what is happening? Well, yesterday I paid for two more months on my visa. Supposedly, I should receive my residency before this two months is completed. Do I hold my breath? Absolutely not! By some I'm told it's my attorney's fault, and by others, it's the government. Only my Heavenly Father knows exactly. So I have to leave it in his hands. But when I had it for six years with no problems... Perhaps he's working on me to have more patience and that when the time is right according to his clock, I will see that in the end, all is right, since nothing happens to me without his ok and that all is for for my good.
Also, I'll probably be starting my new job next week depending on the schools' calendars. I'm excited about helping the teacher's with their English programs. The core problem is their not teaching the students to speak everyday English while they're at school. And if the kids don't speak it there, they won't be speaking it at all. Very few have relatives that are English speaking at home. Therefore, they don't have anyone to practice with. Another problem is that many put them in groups during class for writing exercises. And we all know that in most groups only one or two people work, depending on the size of the group, while the others copy. So we'll see how it goes when I say that they need to work individually most of the time.
I did buy some workbooks for grades one though nine that were written for learning English. But when I got home and really started looking into the exercises, I was totally disappointed. There are so many errors in them. They were not written by American book companies. So sad. Capital letters and punctuation were not used correctly nor were verb tenses used correctly many times.
So some good news. After waiting a month and a few days, I now have a real telephone in my house. I'm so glad. No more worries about it not working due to lack of a signal or having no electricity. And I can call the US much cheaper than using a cell phone. And the light in my living room? Well, two nights ago while going to my bedroom, I touched the other switch that's connected to the living room light. And, lo and behold, the living room light came on! I have no clue what happened there, but I do thank the Lord for it. So the switch that didn't work, now works!!! Go figure!
What else? My pastor is always wanting me to preach, which I love to do. But doing it in Spanish is totally different since my Spanish is lacking in a lot of areas. So I asked him to help me with my Spanish in that area, and we are going to start this coming week. I do believe that he could translate a message for me in English. But I think he would have some trouble in some areas just like me in Spanish. So between him, me, and his wife, we ought to do well. Thank you Holy Spirit!
So until later, grace and peace.
