The gauntlet has been thrown down and I have decided to accept the challenge. The books have been ordered and now a time and place is all that remains to be decided. Senor Elfi, the prinicpal of Santo Domingo school, is definitely serious about learning English and I am just as serious about my inability to teach him. Hence, much prayer is requested in this endeavor. First for him that he will learn quickly and easily. He is a young man so that shouldn't be a problem. And then for me. First of all, that my patience and wisdom will greatly increase and that I will truly teach and not just read the book to him, he can do that.

In my last blog, I referred to paying for something and feel it is necessary to clarify something. When there is a mention of paying for something, that does not come out of my pocket. I am not that benevolent, in fact, I have been known to be quite tight-fisted. Those funds come from other sources, chiefly from my home church in Arkansas, and sometimes from other sources.
