I thought that it was pretty funny.
I have been in Spanish class since pretty much Elementary school. You think that I would be fluent by now. I mean, it should just be in my blood because I AM half Puerto Rican (yes, you heard me right. don't let the blonde haired blue eye thing fool you.) And in college it took me a while to get started in taking Spanish again. I cannot say that I procrastinated for no reason, because when I did finally start taking it again that is where I met my hubby, Josh. But then last semester I avoided moving forward to the next class again. I attended a few classes but the teachers were boring, or there were really annoying girls in the class and really, I just was not feeling it. I knew that I had to get back to it eventually though. I feel like I am meant to speak Spanish.
Sometimes I just get the feeling that I am walking but getting no where at the same time. I am hoping that feeling will go away as I try to push through all the learning. Even though I feel like I am meant to do certain things in my life, thinking about how much I have to grow to get there is a little scary and some days seems impossible.
This scripture, and reliance on my Heavenly Father, gets me through these sometimes taunting thoughts.
Ether 12: 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their aweakness. I bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my cgrace is sufficient for all men that dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak things become strong unto them.

Knowing that my weaknesses can become my strengths is an amazing gift. I feel blessed just to even understand and know this scripture. It gives me perspective and strength to push through, not jut with Spanish, but other trials that I have and other weaknesses that I want to overcome.
