A day in the life of...

So how do new missionaries in language school spend their time?
Here's a typical day...

4:30 - Caedon wakes up saying "Daaady"

4:32 - Caedon gets milk and morning devotions in Spanish and Greek (with a little help from daddy)

5:30 - Nathan wakes up Jamie, Jamie blindly stumbles to the coffee pot.

7:00 - We're out the door, with a few trips back in for things we forgot.

7:25 - Drop off the kids at school and walk to our classrooms.

7:30 - Classes begin.
We have 4 hours of classes: 2 for Gramatica, 1 for Lenguaje, and 1 for Fonetica with a 1 hour free period for chapel, meetings, prayer, or study depending on the day.

1:00 - Pick up Caedon and head to the Terraza -- the student area on campus to eat, study, socialize, or just stare into space for a brain break.

2:30 - Pick up Kendyl and head home in the timely downpour (you could set your watch by it!)

2:50 - Get home, strip off and hang up our soaking wet clothes, plop on the couch and dream about pizza for dinner.

4 or 5 - Cook rice and beans for dinner. Eat. Clean up. Family time.

6:30 - Check the clock and say, "Is it only 6:30?"

7:00 - Bedtime stories, tuck the kids in bed, resist the temptation to fall asleep too.

7-9 - Study, veg out, and try to stay awake until an acceptable grown-up bedtime.

9:30 - Prayer time and Lights Out!
