I was reminded...

The other day I was talking with another student. She is 72 years old and is the oldest student in the history of the language institute but she doesn't like that claim to fame. We were talking about understanding the pastor's sermons at church. I told her when I was a journeyman in Guatemala I went to church one Sunday and I said Lord I really want to understand the pastor's sermon today....Well, I got to church and I understood every word. How? There was a missionary lady sitting beside me who translated every word of the sermon for me. As I thought about it later I had to laugh because I understood but not in the way I thought I would.
