Thank You

I got an unsolicited "Thank You" in English from HG this afternoon. I don't remember what it was about, but she did use it correctly and I didn't ask her to say it. It's funny to me that she is more willing to try and say English words than Spanish words. I speak to her in spanish, most of the time, but I do on occasion say things directly to her in English. I know she hears me speak English to HM and HV so maybe she wants to be like them??? She is still in the tattle-tale mode and cries whenever someone, like HM and HV, take something from her or make her move. She comes to me with her big crocodile tears, pointing and jabbering at "whodunnit." That girl.
My heart is still heavy from today's events. I haven't quite recovered, honestly. We've been here for 4 weeks today and yet I don't feel a huge sense of forward progress. I KNOW that my time with HG here is priceless and worth it (we've had her for 3 weeks as of yesterday). We have so few distractions here which is great for spending time and bonding with her--I have no idea what's going on in America, so if something major happens, you guys have to write to me! We have cable and have some English stations, but if it doesn't come on Discovery Kids, we aren't watching it. (Ask me about Mister Maker, Miss Spider, or anything like that and I can tell you!). I KNOW that the time here in Guatemala is priceless for HM and HV. I guess I just thought that I would be able to accomplish more here and yet I feel like I am still standing still. Maybe my expectations were/are too high? Maybe I'm trying to control things here and it's not my deal to do? I don't know. I pray for wisdom right now. That's all I know to do.
