So I've been in Copan for a little over a week now. I have been learning a lot!! Its pretty exciting being able to communicate with people although I still have a ways to go.
I really like my teacher, her name is Sara and she is super nice. She knows that Im working on my spanish for the mission field so she talks to me about the bible, God, and diffrent
stories in the Bible so that I can learn words directly associated with Christianity. So that is pretty awesome, I also have been able to visit places around Copan. Places like the Ruins
and diffrent museums, so I have been learning a lot about their cultures there. When iI get back Kara, Norma, and I are staring the offical first Bible-study at the property.
I really excitied about and I am hopeing to be able to post a blog each weeks talking about what we talk about in the Bible-study. This Bible-study is more of a means of disipleship.
So we will be choosing a verse a week talking about why it is important and why we need to learn about it. THen we are going to challenge the women to mermorize the verse we studied.
It should be very good!! Please continue to pray for me as I'm at school that I get this Spanish down, and start praying for the Bible study and all the women who will be
participating in it!
Love you guys!!!

So I got to Copan the other day. Ill be here for three weeks so that I can learn more spanish. I had to ride the bus here and that was pretty
crazy, the bus was nice so it wasnt that bad. I started school yesterday and I meet my teacher. She is really nice, her name is Sarah.
She took me out to eat and I got to know her. Be in prayer these few next weeks that I am able to learn and retain the knowledge.
I am actually staying with a family here in Copan. They are super nice and they even have a daugther here about my age. The family here gives me a place
to stay and they cook three meals a day for me. I have been eating a lot of beans and bananas :-). I get my own room with a bathroom and a fan. The room is
really nice, it is just kind of akward being here and not really being able to talk very good to the family, but I know it will be good. Also for the next few weeks will
you pray that I stay safe and God puts portection around me. I will be seeing you all soon!!!
