I know rebecca is writing an entry now, but another perspective is always helpful

Hey everybody! This is Sarah, and although I know Rebecca is writing an entry two computers over as I write, I decided to quickly blog about Spanish mini grupos. While most of the American team has been participating in an English mini grupo, me, Marilyn, John, and Michael have decided to be part of the Spanish ones. Marilyn and I are in the same one, which is helpful because when I dont´understand something (which is pretty often,) we can confer. It has been a great experience, learning more Spanish and talking with Spaniards, althought is is extremely difficult when there are about 4 different types of Spanish we are in contact with here. Its pretty easy to understand people from Northern Spain, but from Southern Spain, they cut off all their endings of most of their words and also have the lisp, which has made it difficult. Please continue to pray for us, as we struggle to have conversations with the Spaniards, because there is only so much our vocabulary allows us to say. Also, pray for the 4 of us in the mini grupos, that we can become better friends with the people in the mini groups and get to a point where we can contribute and understand clearly what is being said.
