A tough week

This hasn't been an easy week. I've been spending a lot of time preparing lessons and also writing down some necessary changes for the academy. If you happen to read this before this evening, please pray for my meeting with the lady I work for - that we'd make real progress. If I can make some things sufficiently clear for her, my job will be a lot easier!


The weather has kept getting better here. I even caught the sun this weekend when the church went to the countryside and had a huge paella together and numerous other delicacies. It was a nice relaxed time which gave me the opportunity to speak a lot more Spanish than most days.

It's still embarrassing when everyone keeps asking one of the bilingual folk to translate, but sometimes it's for a good reason. For instance, I was telling someone that it is much easier to live as a single in Spain (financially). Actually, I said 'easier to be simple'. No wonder they looked bemused.







Last night I looked over the flat where I'll be staying when I'm in Badajoz next. Nothing fancy but with a family and also directly above the church building.
