So Tracy and I recently completed our 3rd module and just finished with the exam! So each module is one book, each book has approximately 20 lessons and each lesson has anywhere from 12-20 vocabulary words. Recently it has been a struggle to just continue with language on a daily basis. It feels like we are hitting a wall, and just really trying hard to persevere. We have been in Thailand for approximately 7 1/2 months and have been studying Thai a little over 6 months. Tracy and I have recently incorporated into our schedule a morning and afternoon sabbath rest...which has been very life-giving. We have noticed that we just keep going with little reprieve and have noticed signs that we would head toward "burn-out" unless we paced ourselves and incorporated rest and time to enjoy The Lord during our weekly routine. I am grateful for friends who encourage us to pace ourselves and whose lives have been very refreshing to Tracy and me. I must say I am very jazzed about this next season of language as well! We are finally going to start reading and writing! I have been studying it on my own and I am so excited to focus in on it full-time. Please continue to pray for us as we go deeper in language, the culture and our friendships with Thai people..I feel that the more I get to know them the more I have a heart filled with love and compassion toward them.
