Just finished having an hour conversation with my host mom about el machismo and las apariencias en Costa Rica. My head is now filled for the day and can not take in any more Spanish. Today in class we learned past tense (perfecto) for the first time. That was fun, I have been looking forward to conjugating verbs again. My friend, Mark and I had a good time laughing at ourselves in class because we both knew we sounded ridiculous. I had to pause in the middle of conjugating one verb because I started having a laughing fit and couldn't stop. Our teacher, Alejandra, has a great sense of humor so she joined in with the fun.
There is so many good things that God has been putting in my heart and teaching me that I want to share, but I am going to leave those for another day when I am more awake. Today has been a great day, but like I said in the title it has also been long. It is only 7:17pm and I feel like I could go to bed right now, but I will be sure to update you all soon on what God is teaching me. God is good. Time to review for my grammar test tomorrow and go to bed.
This is what the LORD says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.” -Jeremiah 17:5-8
