8 weeks remaining - of language school, that is. Both of us have just about covered all of the grammar. We're looking forward to having several weeks to reinforce grammar rules that we did not learn very well the first time through, learning local slang words and expressions.

Today was the first day for us to spend with our new teachers. It's like a breath of fresh air to change teachers - it always gives us a new energy. Also, because each teacher teaches differently, it seems like each teacher brings something new to the table. Staci will for sure change again in 4 weeks because her current teacher has been reserved by a future student. Lee has the opportunity to change as well, but the teacher that Lee has now is spoken of as being one of the best, so he may choose to stay with him.

Anthony, the spring intern at the children's home has been studying in Antigua for 2 weeks - and will be here another 2 or 3 weeks before moving to the home. We've enjoyed getting to know him, and sharing meals together on Sundays.

We'd ask you to join with us for praying for our perseverance through language school. We're both begining to feel a little burned out.

I hear you on being burnt out with school! Of course, y'all's is a little more intense than mine. But I have a feeling we'll all make it through. ;) Glad y'all got a visit from some familiar faces! I'm thinking of you two and praying for y'all constantly!
