Here's a fun game.
Try to explain these words in English using only simpler words-
Holy...... ("God- like" is not acceptable, our readers don't understand that either.)
Kingdom..... (Can't use the word "rule.")
Carefully..... (Be careful to not slam your Iphone on the ground when pantomiming this word...)
Engaged.... (Every single one of my readers asked what this was.)
Okay so those words are pretty simple, you can probably draw something, look up the Spanish equivalent, or find some other synonym that your reader will understand. Now try these-
Would
Will (As in, I will come.)
Happenings
There
Until

That's been my day today. But besides the communication confusion, I have had some great conversations with my readers. One of my readers, Daniela is a doctor who speaks in almost fluent English. My session with her was more like a bible study with a friend. I learned as much from her as she (hopefully) learned from me! Another, Nair, spoke almost no English at all. That was interesting to say the least, but she was able to communicate that she has three pet turtles! One of the most interesting conversations I have had so far was with Noelia. She, after about 15 minutes of just talking and a little reading, blatantly asked me about my faith and what church was all about. I was kind of surprised but pretty excited about this. She told me that she has a lot of doubts, so if you all could pray for all of our readers, but especially for my reader Noelia. She is so sweet and a great woman!

Continue to pray for our team! We are having a great time!
