| Hi! Just to let you know, I've moved the blog to LucasGentry.com, so all of my Costa Rica updates can all be in one place. Just click on the link below to see our newest update information! http://www.LucasGentry.com |
Oh wow, this has been a very busy and wonderfully full weekend (and Monday)! On Saturday, we didn't have anything scheduled, so I was able to just sit down and write for about 8 hours straight (or more). I've had a book outline in my head (and on my computer) for a really long time, and I've been slowly working on turning the outline into an actual book. It's a book teaching how to do deeper Bible Studies for yourself, instead of just working through other peoples' work. Anyway, since we try to stay busy preparing for our work that we do here, you could imagine it's relatively slow to write all that. But since I had an empty day, I was able to finally finish the book! It's now on sale on Amazon (Bible Study Picks and Shovels - Tools for Digging into the Scriptures on Your Own). Anyway, that was a nice personal victory for me.
Sunday was diving back into Spanish as we went back to Tibás for church. One of the families at the church was amazing to us. They picked us up for church in the morning before Sunday School (I LOVE Sunday School there) and then took us to their house for a delicious meal after church. When I was in Sunday School, they went around and had everybody read four verses until we had read through Ruth. I happened to be sitting next to the first person who read, so I was on the list of people reading -- In Spanish! Out Loud! -- They were very patient with me.
After the church service was over, three or four people came up to us and we got to have Spanish conversations with them. A couple of the conversations were pretty long (maybe 5+ minutes, which is really long when you're still working on the language). The couple that picked us up this Sunday says that they think that there is another family that comes near the Seminary on their way to church, so we might be able to get a ride almost every Sunday! We're willing pay to take the city bus to get to church, but if they're willing, we'll definitely take them up on it!
Today, there was a lot of work to do. I think I walked all the way across campus probably more than a dozen times today, as well as walking to the grocery store 3/4 mile away and back to the Seminary. So obviously, our legs are pretty tired today.
Tomorrow, we should be teaching our first English as a Second Language class around 6-9pm. It's going to be pretty exciting and... um... I guess I don't know what else, because I've never done it before. But if you would please be praying for us, we would really appreciate it. Thank you all for your love and support!
