Making language learning fun
Participating in many activities makes learning Spanish fun for missionary Amy Heckman.
"Life is very busy here, but lots of fun too," Amy wrote. "Our time is spent learning language, going to different Bible studies at church, hanging with the youth group, spending time with other missionaries, and doing fun events with our friends."
She’s excited to be learning well, too. "We have also moved on from basic level to progressing level of Spanish!"
As Amy learns Spanish, which she’ll use as a trade language when she reaches a tribe in Mexico, she’s teaching a few local men English. "There are three brothers, Pepe, Erick and Edgar, that we are trading English for Spanish with. We have been able to have fun learning language with them, and we even play games like Simon says (Simón dice) at times."
Please pray for her as she continues to learn Spanish, that she learn it quickly and accurately. Pray also for her to be a continuing light to those around her.
