Well he did his stuff today and didn't do too bad at all., although I could tell he wasn't quite as relaxed as he is back home. The chairman acknowledged that everyone enjoyed his NZ accent - some of the audience though probably didn't understand it and I am talking about the English speaking brothers! It was nice a few from our congo turned up, I am glad they could see Mark could put two words together without long pauses, even if they didn't know what he was saying.!
It was hard to get away from the hall cause everyone so enjoys speaking in English but finally we arrived at the nice french restaurant we had eaten at the other day. I think the crowd overwhelmed them though and we waited a long time for lunch. It was fine though, we loved being with everyone. Just what I needed in fact, I have to admit to being a little homesick these last few days. It will pass though as soon as the new week starts and we get too tired to even think!

Well done Mark!
Yep - we thought she looked just like Michelle too. I wondered if anyone else would notice!
We actually did understand the "Kiwi" accent and must say he did a fantastic job! Good work Mark. Now you have to get down to work and give a Spanish talk...No more putting it off. You can do it! And we will be there to support you with all our rotten vegetables in hand. :)
Mark I am sure that when you give a talk in Spanish the bros would still clap at the end.
Well done Mark. Hang in there Beth with your homesickness it is very hard. You will be home soon for your visit and you will probably be homesick for your "home and family" in Ecuador.xxx
