Lost in Translation

What is the best and worst part of being down here? I absolutely love the feeling of being able to communicate in another language and learn another culture (notice I didn't say "well" with either verb). I met a young Colombian man on the street today (talk about providence . . . He asked me, "Do know if there's a Colombian restaurant around here?") Anyway, he said he wants to come to church with us on Sunday. He's already a Christian but hasn't found a good church yet. I thought that was pretty cool.

The worst part: definitely the kids' behavior and mood swings. They are sleep-deprived at times, and they struggle with being in their classes for five hours (where the discipline is undoubtedly different than at home) and then at home. Other than that, life is good.
