Hold the Phone!!

Hey everyone,

I just had to share this story of victory!

Last night I answered the phone and it was Jurgen Schulz, but I didn´t know it was him and he didn´t know it was me. We exchanged a few sentences, in Spanish, and then suddenly he said, "Rachael, is that you?" You see, he didn't realize it was an English-speaker on the phone, because my Spanish had been so good! Isn't that awesome??? Jurgen has been a missionary here for over 20 years, and his Spanish is fantastic, so this is a real compliment!

It's nice to know that there is progress being made!

Love to all,
Rachael

...I guess this means we can stop pretending to believe all the humble things you say about your spanish only being 'okay'...

Way to go!

Wahoo!

My word verification word is "quisomo". You should add that to your vocabulary and use it randomly.

I TOLD you your Spanish was amazing! And that was a year ago! I guess that means you'll have to believe whatever I say now, because I've been proven to be right...
