I was able to learn a lot of Spanish through dialogue with Spanish speakers. It is the best way to learn the language. And just remember, Latin remains the universal language so if all else fails, you can just pray in Latin After looking at the website (http://www.ssvmusa.org/ssvmhome.htm) I'm also glad to see that the order wears a habit.[/quote] But confession could be a bit difficult in Latin... probably... :
the lords sheep Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 I leave at 6:20 pm Central Standard Time tomorrow evening and will arrive at the Blessed Gianna Beretta Molla Home for abandoned children in San Rafael, Argentina at roughly 10pm the next evening (July 2) Unfortunately, I don't know many prayers in Latin (really only bits and pieces), and I hope to make confession before I go (in English!) just to make it easier on myself. If not, I can probably make a decent one in spanish, as long as I can do my act of contrition in English.

Deus te Amat Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Does you being online mean you made it safetly? Huzzah!!! How is it?
the lords sheep Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 Unfortunately, no. My flight to Dallas was delayed (as in 2.5 hours) and was going to cause me to miss my flight to Chile (from there I connect to Argentina), so my departure was pushed back to tomorrow (after I had spent almost 3 hours in the airport) Oh well, God's will be done! It seems as if it will still work out ok (if not better), so my new departure time is at 3:30 Central and I'll arrive on the 3rd at about 5 at the SSVM convent. Praise God!
