Yesterday I met with the family where the cobra was photographed in their front yard and they clarified that it wasn't a spitting cobra at all.....just the "common black forest" cobra. I feel so much better!!
Studying language is actually enjoyable at this time in my life. I think that while I'm awaiting the possibilities of medical work in the community and knowing how important the language ability will be there, I am more motivated than I was while still in the USA. I am busy making flash cards and memorizing. The other part that is helpful is that I learned Spanish in high school and there are some similarities to Portuguese. And finally, having the language teaching on Thursdays and not wanting to look totally lazy and unintelligent, I am finding this is a big motivation also....
Carnival went off without any problems that I have heard of. Today is back to work as usual for everyone....that has a job that is.......
Today is also the beginning of Lent and although I'm not Catholic, our church in Livermore, CA, always made this day special as a reminder of what Jesus chose to put Himself through to bring salvation to the world. I am going to take the time today to look up Bible readings for each day until Easter Sunday. If anyone has anything special that they do during Lent, I'd love to hear about that to.
It is still a cobra!
