Well, today was my last test--sure sounds good to say that! They asked us today how we wanted our name on our diploma which we're taking to mean that we will be graduating on Thursday. Well, it's more of a certificate of completion, but it may well be the most difficult diploma I ever earned.
We have learned so much and still have so much more to learn. This will truly be a lifelong learning process. We know that we are better than we were when we arrived almost six weeks ago, but it's still painfully difficult to get the right words out in a time frame that doesn't leave the other person twiddling his/her thumbs. It is unbelievable how patient everyone is with us . . . . we're going to continue to need patience when we get back home. As much as I hate to say it, it will be better for us if our Salvadoran friends stop speaking English to us!
Even though our tests are over, we still have quite a bit of homework! The teachers are doing their best to use every minute of class up to the time we finish on Thursday at 3:10 p.m. The "graduation program" is at 3:15 and each conversation class is responsible for a skit, song, dance or other form of entertainment. My class is practicing tomorrow morning! I'm attaching a copy of a couple of pictures of us reading from a children's Bible . . . . it was really difficult because we had to conjugate the verbs as we went!
