My husband...I am so proud of him
 
My husband has never liked to post on forums because he thinks his English is terrible. However lately he seems to be getting more out of his shell posting over at CAF... I am so proud of him. I fixed him up an old computer in my office because he runs from my office to his asking how to spell this or that in English.
I told him it does not matter most of us that post are not English teachers anyway:thumbsup and besides that English is his 3rd language...only ater Spanish and Portuguese.
He has an inferiority complex around Americans. He hates to preach in the states...lol...and he does so awesome.
I wish I had the abilities he has...He is an awesome singer and guitar player.

Why is it that many foreigners have a complex around Americans?

Did you tell him he can post here? He would fit right in with the mis-spelled words.:ursofunny

Some of my kids get all fired up about posting but they soon forget...

He should not feel inferior at all. Our church holds him in the highest regard! We think he is an incredible, annointed man of God.

And I am completely impressed with his mastery of languages!

If I were him, I'd struggle with feeling superior. ;)

I think he would do so well here. I think most of AFF hold him in high regard!!! I would really like if he would join us sometimes.

I personally like this forum better than any other one because I know more people here and it seems some forums are mostly men and I feel odd even though I have been welcomed....guess it is just me...I do like the GNC also.

Sounds a lot like a man in the Bible named Moses. hmmmmmmmm
=)
His brother Juan never seemed to have a problem with it. He seemed to always have fun with it. He would start sermons in Spanish and then switch to Protuguese and then to English. I remember a couple of times at Ohio Camp he would start preaching with Jonathan interpreting for him and he would say something and Jonathan would give the interpretation and he would REPEAT it and give Jonathan a look like GET IT RIGHT. It was pretty funny. Of course I had known him my whole life and knew he could speak English but many would be there that did not know him.
The family was always very fun loving, came across so serious, but so full of life and fun.
