But I also love the humility that comes with that feeling. And yeah, navigating the aisles of a foreign grocery store is kind of scary and difficult. Our family kept throwing things in without telling us what they were ??. Thanks for sharing your perspective of it all, Nathan!

All the students are blogging–it is part of the course for them. We don’t post every student’s blog every day, but David will be blogging. The grocery stores are similar and yet different. You pick out your food and you check out. The check out process is different as it is not speedy and everyone is very patient–it is just the way it is! The contents of the stores are very different! The biggest difference is in fruit–there are SO many amazing fruits here. We just posted a blog with more about food and the students took a cooking class today so you will hear more about that tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers! We appreciate them very much!

David is my son, but “prolly” won’t write much. Please write more about how the food is different. I am interested. My class and I will pray for your whole group, especially for restful sleep and quick language acquisition. How is the mercado different from shopping in the US?
