Paul Wilhelmson Vuelo porque Vivo! Its really quite simple actually. Do you want to know?
First, you move to a foreign country, then you start studying language full time and before you know it you are 8 months into the future! Just give it a try, I guarantee it works!
Language study: The days of mindless repetition are over and now are the days of writing essays and giving presentations in class. In fact, in a couple weeks I’ll be giving a short “sermon” for the weekly chapel service at the language school. I don’t feel like my language is anywhere near adequate for that but hey, might as well jump in with both feet! 
This past month I had my first language evaluation with NTM. It turns out I am a bit ahead of where I should be so that is encouraging! If things continue the way they have been going, I will end up finishing the language school course in the middle of April. Then, depending on where my language level is at, I may spend another month or so studying with tutors to finish it all off.
Its almost Christmas again! Please don’t forget to pray for those who aren’t celebrating because they have never heard about the Christ. They don’t yet know the hope that we seem to so easily forget in all the fun, parties, eating, laughing, presents and bright lights.
- Praise for so much language so far!
- Pray for continued patience. Some days progress is hard to see.
- Pray I would continue to focus on the Lord and be willing to be used by Him each day.
- Pray for the people who have not yet heard and for the missionaries who daily give their lives to tell the good news.
