Unforeseen difficulties

I can't imagine what it is like to live in a country and not know how to speak the language. Our neighbors speak Spanish and the children do a lot of interpreting for the parents. In our community there are many families that speak Spanish and even a little grocery store. In that respect things aren't that difficult. However there are little things that language barriers make impossible. Things that I would never think of. Just the other night the kids showed up at my door with a phone and a coupon. She said can you order pizza for us? It had never dawned on me that simple things I take for granted would be so difficult.

Hi Sarah, I am glad I found your blog! How exciting to be getting ready for this big move.
Ron and Nathan spent a week in October in Toluca and Nathan loved being there and helping with the people.
I will keep your family in prayer!
