BREAKTHROUGH

Last saturday we went and visited with Erik's family that lives here in Guadalajara. They are the most amazing people, so sweet and always serving us meals and trying to make us as comfortable as possible, we love them! It's SO nice to know you have family to visit, it can get kind of lonely! God blessed us with them... They have been so great and we are so very thankful to have got the chance to get to know them while living here. This time was such a breakthrough for us with our spanish! Usually Erik's cousin, Alfonso is there with us when we visit and he's the only one who knows english, so he helps us translate for the the others if we get stuck, etc. This time, he was only there for a short amount of time so we were on our own! Erik is getting really good at speaking because he is now immersed in it at the hospital everyday. But me on the otherhand, I don't get the opportunity to practice like I need to! Halle is pretty much fluent from being in school here for 2 yrs so it's so awesome for us to hear her speak with the kids... So cute! And Costi is learning too! We really surprised ourselves this time being able to carry on conversation, it felt SO good! We had a great time, of course they made awesome food and we even drank a little tequila with them:)
