The weekend

Missy had a busy but great weekend. She went Home for the weekend with her mentor Hevelen (not sure of the sp sorry) and stayed with her and her family. They went to a carnival and went on some rides. Her family doesn't speak any English and Hevelen speaks very broken English and so Missy was forced to use her spanish alot which is great practice but can be frustrating also.
Sunday at Church she sang special music. Mighty to save from Hillsong in English which went well. There is a talent show coming this weekend where she will be singing the same song but this time in Spanish. The Youth pastor is helping her in learning the rythm of the words and how to pronounce them properly while Melissa has been helping him with some English. He is also teaching her some of the Spanish slang. lol. I was able to talk to her last night for a bit and she is looking well. As far as the pics on this blog Some are taken by other students in this same program but I am sharing them with you so you can feel some parts of what Melissa and the students are going through. She says to say hi to everyone, she covets your prayers and can't wait to share what God is showing her. One more month and she will be home.
