Language evaluations and picnic

We are having a great time with our friend Shawna! We are so glad that she was able to make a language consultant trip here before we leave for Germany. David and I have both been evaluated in our knowledge of the language and culture. We've been asked lots of questions about the culture, and have been put in different role play situations with our language helpers. It is quite overwhelming to think about how much we have yet to learn, but we definitely know more than we did last year at this time, so for that we are encouraged. The whole evaluation process has been helpful for us in knowing what we need to concentrate on and how we can learn more efficiently.

Besides being evaluated in our knowledge of the language and culture, we have also been enjoying just spending time with Shawna. On Saturday afternoon, we had a picnic by the river. Shawna took some really nice pictures of the kids and our time together, so I thought I'd just post some of them here.
