On our way to do some shopping, a Kiwi teenage girl and I were talking in the car. Our conversation somehow drifted to someone going to Dunedin, NZ. I then made a comment about the South Island, and the girl looked at me and asked, "Wait, is Dunedin in the South Island?"
"Yes, it is!" I exclaimed. "Mark it on the calendar, for once, I knew where something was in New Zealand when a Kiwi didn't!" (It was May 2nd, in case you were wondering.)

I was sitting in a good friend's lounge, hanging out with a few people, when one of them looked at me and said, "You're losing your accent." Huge, internal YES! :)

I couldn't believe it as I looked over the two and a half pages full of notes in my journal. I had just sat through an entire sermon in a language I do not know, and somehow I had taken over two pages of notes! Between body language, expression, looking at the Scriptures in English, and glancing at the notes a young lady was taking next to me in English, not to mention the incredible power of the Holy Spirit, I had absorbed a great sermon!
