Language School and "Hablando"

Today we started language school! I really enjoyed it a lot. I feel like I'm learning so much already just being "immersed" and now going to school for 4 hours every day. There are 3 of us in my class and we are at the highest level which is "Intermediate". I was kind of scared of that at first but it's going really well. I'm at the point right now where I really WANT to learn as much as possible so I can communicate with my family better.
The family I'm staying with is Catholic and we were talking about why we are here in Peru. They seemed really interested and asked us our testimony. I tried to explain but I just don't know enough words at this point. We asked if it was ok if we told them in a week after we could figure out how to say it in Spanish. But it was cool to be able to share what we are doing and for it to be ok. Peru is mostly a Catholic country and not always receptive to Evangelical Churches. They were asking what the differences were between our church and the Catholic church and we were able to explain some. And Miluska was saying the most important thing is that you believe in God and Jesus and have Him in your heart and as a part of your life (she probably said more but this is what I understood). That was cool though. So I'm excited to learn more and be able to communicate better. Miluska is extremely patient though, which helps a lot! Today her mother and father in law were over for lunch and we could barely understand what the father was saying because he spoke so fast! We had to keep saying "Habla mas despacio por favor!" and everyone would laugh.
Ok now I'm rambling, time for some homework! Yes homework on the first day. No bueno.
