into the second week at CCM

I have been trying to learn Spanish a little more.  Catty is teaching me lessons.  I had a lesson last Thursday and another this week.  We had 70 new Latino Elders and sisters arrive yesterday and about 80 North American Elders and Sisters will arrive today.  I have been asked by Carlos Sepata to help with that orientation process.  It has been a little slow right now with the census low but with the new missionaries now I hope it will get busier.

I am surrounded by Spanish speakers and yesterday found myself in a meeting where I was the only one who could not speak Spanish. This is not unusual.   I will concentrate more on learning Spanish  in the next 6 weeks until Dr and Nancy Gill leave and I will have to pick up some of Nancy's responsibilities.
