I don't know what my problem is but today has not been a good day. For some reason I cannot think or talk in Spanish. This morning I had a few people talk to me in Spanish and I just kindly smiled and looked around for someone to help them. Later, I had three young Mexican girls following me around. They were quizzing me and I was not able to leave until they were called away. I loved talking to them but my Spanish was definitely not here today. Then, this afternoon we went into town and since I was driving I had to get gas and I had difficulty communicating with the lady. Some days Spanish is exciting and I feel like I'm learning so much and other days I feel completely hopeless. Today, I felt hopeless.
The summer staff graduated from training today. It was relaxing and fun. We had a feast on Nachos. We put sombreros on and marched around the table while everyone hummed the graduation song. =) I've been a bit quiet today and my coworkers have noticed. I don't know what's wrong.... I guess I'm feeling a bit inadequate for this job and my role as an ambassador for Christ. I've really struggled with my identity in Christ this last year. Please be praying that I will gather strength from God and put my hope and trust in him.
Today after graduation we went into town. We visited a Zapateria and the other girls bought shoes. It's weird they don't sell half sizes which makes it difficult to find shoes that fit. I drove around town a bit and I drove back to camp. Tomorrow we begin ministry at 3:30. Be praying that we get all of the work we need to get done prior to the groups arrival. Thank you so much for all of your love and encouragement! I hope to keep you updated with what's going on. I haven't quite got the hang of this blog thing yet. =)

I love you Violet. Don't lose confidence in your abilities, and don't be too hard on yourself (remember everyone is allowed an off day here and there).
