Our Spanish tutor tells us that we learn Spanish little by little or poco a poco. Last week Dawn and I went to dinner with a couple, Kelly and Trisha Lawrence who are going to Honduras with our same agency, Baptist Medical Dental Mission International. It was the first time we had been out to eat on a date in a couple of months. We ordered everything in Spanish with ease such as asking for a glass of water, our entree, and the bill, etc. That truly is not a big deal except I can remember the first time I ordered a glass of water or asked for the bill in Spanish and I was quite pleased at my accomplishment. So we are learning little by little.
Kelly and I have something in common. We both quit our line of work after 21 years to go to the mission field. I ceased my medical practice and Kelly shut down his HVAC business. God called us to do different things than what we had always known and done.
Amos 7:14-15 says: "Then Amos replied to Amaziah, 'I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; for I am a herdsman and a grower of sycamore figs.' But the LORD took me from following the flock and the LORD said to me, 'Go prophesy to My people Israel.'"

So how and when do you learn all the medical terms you'll need?
