Mid - Terms are Over!

Thank you for your patience through my recent "Planned Avoidance" on the blog. It was a much needed break, especially for my studies and for spending extra time with my family. In the following posts I will attempt to get you back up to speed as to what our family has been doing during the last four weeks.


Mid terms are done and graded. Thank the Lord for His Grace through this intense time of study and testing. I did ok on all of my tests and was pleased overall with what I have been learning so far in my first semester.

My grammar test was the hardest.

My phonetics test was surprisingly shorter than I thought it would be. But that's the genius of the learning process, the teacher always makes you study more than you are tested over.

A random phonetic quiz:*
What Spanish letter is a
velar, voiceless stop?
*This quiz is only for non-RGBI language school participants.
Anyone who has attended RGBI in the past,
or currently attending RGBI, will not have their comments posted.
The answer will be posted in the next post.

My conversation test was the shortest. Just 10 minutes "talking" in Spanish with my professor over key concepts and vocabulary.

Bottom line...grades are not the main thing, learning is. My classmates have been a great group to learn with and we all have developed deeper friendships during this semester. I feel many of them will be life long friends in the ministry that will stay connected with our family via technology (Facebook, emails, or Skype).
