Week 14 was a long one but pretty good. Passed the written tests. This week he had some questions about handing Deaf people in certain situations. and of course thanks to his knowledge of the Deaf community he passed that part with flying colors. Cant say the same about one of his roommates. He was rushing through a questions and answered a Deaf questions in a awful way but I am going to spare hima bit. Lol I'll have to teach him when I get to meet him at graduation. But he did start the next step of driving finally! He had his first attempt at it the same day they teach it to him. He said no one passes the first time but he feels pretty good about doing it again. They get 4 chances at it but I have some confidence that he can get it done tomorrow :) and he is pretty surprised he has his 2nd attempt so fast. No one else from his group is taking their 2nd attempt tomorrow. I think it's jsut because they know he won't have a problem with it so they want to get him out of the way. ;) He also has his second attempt, Thursday, at the arresting techniques that he messed up on lt time. He is only given 2 chances for this but he practiced on me a few times and knows what he did wrong last time so again we are feeling pretty good about it.
But Sundays are always hard when I come to visit. At least this time I got to fly in and out so we got to spend pretty much the whole day together. Normally when I take the train I have to be there at like 2 so we don't get much time to just enjoy each other. But we had a great weekend of resting, Christmas shopping for our families and studying for this next week. I love feeling like I get to really help through things being here. We got through a good group of Spanish and I am awful at it! But at least my white girl self makes it fun. lol and it's fun to listen to him because he has been practicing so much it just flows now. He actually sounds like he speaks Spanish! And then we get to practice getting arrested. That's always fun. Makes me really know I never want to go through that. It can hurt! But I do what I have to do to help him. But again as Sunday rolls around, it just gets hard knowing we don't get to see each other for only a week this time. But we got over the mindset of he has to go back to the acadmy and are really focusing on he gets to go back. Many people don't get to say that but he does. And every week that he does is a huge blessing! So even though it's so hard to say goodbye it's only a short time and we are more than halfway there!
So lots and lots of prayers are greatly appreciated this week! Like always, thanks for all the love and support during this crazy, exciting, stressful yet amazing time!!!
