Tongue Twisters and Quotables

We've now reached the pinnacle of studying Spanish here in Chiapas: tongue twisters! "Tres tristes tigres tragaban trigo en tres tristes trastos. En tres tristes trastos tragaban trigo tres tristes tigres." Ok, as if our brains weren't smoking already... :-)Language school continues to be challenging, helpful, and entertaining.  Class #1 moved into future tense this week, while class #2 added imperfect past tense and direct/indirect pronouns to their repertoire. Our homework continues to provide many humorous moments for our teachers, but we're making good progress anyway.Tuesday we had the neat opportunity of visiting the home of a couple from church to eat lunch and practice our Spanish/their English.  It was a wonderful time of fellowship and we all enjoyed getting to know them better.  They're such a great couple who love the Lord and others, and they've already invited future language school teams to come back. (Just a note for anyone still deciding about signing up - they make absolutely awesome tacos! :-) )For your amusement, we continue to provide a brief run-down of our favorite random quotes..."Yo pensaba mis amigos estaban locos. Ahora sé estan locos." -- Elizabeth ("I used to think my friends were crazy. Now I know they are.")Amy - "Can someone taller than I put these dishes away?" Steven - "That would be anyone...""I'm not making fun of you. I'm just laughing at you." -- Daniel"I'm getting used to this whole giardia thing.  It kinda grows on me." -- Amy(Editor's note: we finally figured out why we haven't been feeling so great. It's giardia. Great! Well, at least now we know how to get rid of it. We're actually all feeling better. Yay!)
