Palabras II

The little kids at the orphanage taught me a lot of words this week, but didn't actually write any of them down. Here are as many as I can remember. I also learned a lot from church the last 2 weeks (but I'm cheating by looking at a bulletin right now).

lentes / anteojos = glasses
brincolin = trampoline
brincar = to jump
guaraches = sandals
columpio = a swing
tubo = pipe
trapo = trapo
parpado = eyelid
cejas = eyebrows
llanta, neumatico = tire
palmear = to clap

projimo = neighbor (from the sermon about the Good Samaritan)
alabadle = praise him (alabar = to praise, alabanza = to praise)
gozarse = to rejoice (gozo = joy)
alegrarse = to be glad
rendir = to render, to pay tribute
lino = linen
cordero = lamb
coro = choir
brotar = to sprout, to spring, to come up
incoparable = incomparable
consuelo = consolation (consolar = to console)
para majores informes = for more information
boletin = bulletin

And the word of the day is...
hermoso, which means beautiful. As in Jesus.

That's all I have time to write right now. It's been a pretty good week so far. I'll try to write more later.
