well, Thursday will be another momentous day. I hope I feel better by then. It's going to be my first part in the spanish meeting, and it's a doosey. (btw, how the heck do you spell doosey?) Any...

problem is, I won't really know if they are right or wrong. Most likely they are right, but not necessarily for the question I'm asking. haha. And sometimes they speak too fast for me to really understand. I'm going to have to give one of the elders a copy of my talk so they can help me from their seat...

aw!! so cute!! i hope you feel better by then too! I'm sure you'll do great.

and a little side point:

My dad had to learn English obviously when we came here, he was in his 30's so you can imagine how hard that was. And not being able to express himself at the meetings, the theocratic language barrier - I know that hurt him a lot. The first couple talks in the Ministry School he would write in Polish and then have me translate them, and then he would read them to me to make sure he was pronouncing everything correctly. And of course eventually he was comfortable with the language, and I remember the first time he had a question and answer part in English - that was sooooo hard for him, I'm sure people still talked a little too fast for him and on top of that he was really nervous!! and he did great. I was so proud :)

if he can do it, you can dooo eeeet!
