Language School
We recently heard from friends of ours who are currently at language school in Tanzania – where we’ll be soon enough. They said that it’s COLD there and will get COLDER by the time we get there – so we’re preparing for that!! It also sounds to me like learning Swahili is HARD. So those prayers have begun in full force. Up until now I’ve looked at it like it would be fun and interesting – and it still will be – but it’s also survival. Just to put a little extra pressure on myself. I need to keep repeating, “I don’t have to absorb everything at once.” and “I’m going to make mistakes.” And it’s okay. (it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay) I’m still looking forward to it. I’ve just got to give myself a little grace to learn at my own pace. (Hey, that rhymed. That could be my little motto.)
