Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments and emails. Third day in and whew - it is hard work! Concentrating all day on the Spanish then coming home and studying for the next day - as I say - WHEW! The first day I decided to write all my notes in English - but that didn't really work so now I am doing everything in Spanish and it is a lot easier to keep on track. Michele was picked to do a demonstration today and I seized the opportunity to be her householder as I can understand her Spanish. And of course Michele was happy because she knew that I would not be able to throw her any curve balls. So we have done our part - we should be let off the hook for any future role plays!
Amanda is being so good to us - instead of having parties all day while we are out she is looking after us by cooking and doing the dishes - we'll keep her on.
So just wanted to let you know how we are getting on - so far even with the hard work - we are really enjoying it - in fact it  really is a privilege to be doing this course - I remember Ryan coming home after his, saying - "Mum you have to go pioneering so you can go to the school"! I now understand why he was so enthusiastic about it and so happy we took his advice!

Pioneer school can be mentally exhausting in your own language - let alone one that you are still learning! But no doubt Jehovah and the friends will help you and you will enjoy yet another experience of a lifetime!! Have fun and savor every minute!!!
