Kara, our angel of language.



We completed our language training last night with our tutor, Kara.  She has been home from her mission to Romania for less than a year.  We know lots more than we did a month ago, that's for sure. Just how many different endings can one verb have? And just how many i's, and le's and ure's, and ul's can you stick on the end of a word and still have any hope of pronouncing it, let alone understanding what they are all supposed to mean without forgetting what the original word meant?  By the end of the day our jaws ache.
When we get there we should be able to pray, share our testimony and ask for directions. She helped us develop an "in field" language study plan so hopefully we can teach a lesson and carry on a conversation with our young adults soon. She assured us they will be excited about helping us speak the language.
