Even though I took two years of high school Spanish, my use of the language is extremely limited. I was a bit of a teacher's pet, which got me through those two years with high praise and good grades. On occasion, we would have a Spanish-speaking guest in our classroom, and, as part of our extra credit grade, we could converse with that person in his or her native (or acquired) language. I always asked the same question. "Que hora es?" I never understood the reply, no matter how simple, but it was a question that could be responded to with a smile and a "Gracias." Extra credit points earned.
As I mentioned yesterday, we had Stake Conference this weekend. It is tradition in our Stake to list the missionaries currently serving in order of their anticipated release date in the conference program. It can be encouraging (or not) to a mother, depending on where your child is on the list. Sunday I was highly encouraged.
Elder Syddall was in that numero uno position. 60 names on that list, and he was at the top.
And how many days until he's home? UNO.
And how many days until he's home? UNO.
Anyone for a game of Uno? I'm feeling inspired.
And for the question of "Que hora es?" It's Taylor time.
Thanks for getting Brendon's name on your pic. I save all of those programs in his missionary scrapbook so we can see his progression up the list. You had the #1 spot. Congrats! I was just glad to be on the first page in the top half!
ReplyDeleteBahaha, Tina, you must go to YouTube and search for "Que Hora Es"...what comes up is "the Mexican soap opera for people who only have 3 weeks of Spanish." I think you'd appreciate it! :-) Have a super time with Taylor when he gets home!
