Hello to everyone.
I am now almonst half way through my time at language school and all continues to go well. I go through the usual ups and downs with the language but overall it is fine. I was at a meeting at the barrio last night and the other people at the meeting were missionaries from Spain and Brazil. I found myself thinking "If they didn't have these accents I could understand what they are saying much easier." I did see the irony of the thought fairly soon there after.
I will be moving into the Maryknoll House here in early November and will finish up Language School in early December or late November. By then I should have my official assigment and begin my work in mid-December.
I enjoy hearing from friends and family and can be reached at tgraff@maryknoll.org or on skype at tgraff1.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
