Finally a translator..

I  am so excited!!!

Our teacher Tanya- 

has been teaching us spanish for a month.  

She is gentle, honest, smart and kind.  

                                                  All of us have learned a lot from her- 

which is a hard job for any teacher, 

just look how my crew takes their classes.

                                                         Tonight during my lesson, 

I brought out a copy of my Storyrunner 

stories that I have been struggling to translate.

                                    So far I have told a few stories to new friends here, 

but I have been stuck.  

The translating and then memorizing is 

more than my brain can handle.

                                                   So- I asked her if during my lesson 

she would help me translate a few stories.  

She was thrilled, and immediately began 

telling me that she knew these stories 

and that she was a believer in Jesus Christ.   

A gift from God, a friend and a helper.

                                                This is a Catholic country by culture, 

but for most their religion

 has nothing to do with a real faith in Jesus Christ.

Many people here we encounter here have never 

even heard the creation story-

It is so exciting to tell them 

they are God's special creation-

Tanya's son Joel is Eli's new best friend

they giggle more than talk so language isn't a problem

                                       Tanya has agreed to help me translate the stories.

And then to also translate for me while we I tell them to groups.  

Please pray that God will bring natural opportunities for us to share

God's story.
