We finished taking our Final Oral Proficiency Exam also known as ECOS. When we first arrived in Costa Rica, we had to take a similar exam so that the teachers can determine our level of knowledge in Spanish. The final exam is taken to see how much we have learned in the last 8 months. We were so nervous because we didn't know how much we actually learned, but thankfully we survived. Both Phil and I are far from being fluent, but we are comfortable to have a decent conversation in Spanish. We are looking forward to applying everything we learned at CINCEL (including the customs and values that we learned in our small community).
Thank you for praying for us to complete language school so that we can be more effective in serving the people from El Salvador. If you would like to be part of this amazing ministry, please send us a message so we can give you more information.
Here are photos of our final weeks in Costa Rica.
