SAMPLE SUPPERORT LETTER

One of the short-term mission trips from First Presbyterian Church, Stanley this year is to Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. When the announcement was made, I put my name on the list to go from June 14-21, 2008! I believe that God wants me to dedicate eight days of my time to assist in this cross-cultural mission.

What will we be doing? Our primary purpose is to help build a building for the church. We will have a VBS including music, scripture memorization, games, Bible classes and crafts to attract the children to come hear the Gospel and put their faith in Christ.

I am writing to ask if you will help me in the following ways: ¨

Pray for me and our team as we prepare for the physical and spiritual work. Pray that we will be unified and care for each member of the team. Pray that we will be able to clearly share Christ with people we meet. ¨

Would you consider a financial contribution? The cost of the trip is approximately $1500. If you will help, you may make a tax deductible contribution payable to First Presbyterian Church designated for Guadalupe Mission Trip. Please return the check and card in the enclosed envelope. A letter of acknowledgment will be mailed upon receipt of the donation. Thank you for considering being a part of my team!

Notice that Spanish has informal and formal ways of saying things. This is because there is more than one meaning to “you” in Spanish (as well as in many other languages.) The informal you is used when talking to close friends, relatives, animals or children. The formal you is used when talking to someone you just met, do not know well, or someone for whom you would like to show respect (a professor, for example.) There are also two ways to say you in the plural, used when speaking to more than one person.
Encantado, cansado, enfermo, and aburrido are the masculine forms of the words. If the words refer to a woman or are spoken by a woman, then the o changes to a.

19. Formation of Plural Nouns If a word ends in an -ción, -tad, -dad, or -tud, it’ll be feminine. Also, if you are talking about a female, you will use the feminine articles (la señora). Words ending in an -o are masculine. Days of the week are also masculine. And if you’re talking about a male, use the masculine articles. There are some exceptions to these rules and you just have to memorize them. To make words ending in a vowel plural, add an -s (libro = libros). Add an -es to make words ending in a consonant plural (papel = papeles). If a word ends in a -z, change the z to a c and add -es (cruz = cruces). After making the word plural, you must make the articles plural also. There are very few exceptions to making words plural.

your	vuestro (a)	vuestros (as)	vuestro (a)	vuestros (as)
your/their	su	sus	suyo (a)	suyos (as)

Because su and sus can have so many meanings, the definite article may be used with the definite article may be used instead of su with the following forms: de Ud., de él, de ella, de Uds., de ellos and de ellas. los libros de ellos their books The terminal forms are placed after the noun, and must be preceded by the definite article, except in direct address. When used with the indefinite article, it corresponds to the English “of mine, of yours,” etc. el libro mío my book
Qué haces, hijo mío? What are you doing, my son?
un amigo mío a friend of mine

27. Conjugating Regular Verbs Verbs in Spanish end in -ar, -er or -ir. Before a verb is conjugated, it is called the infinitive. Removing the last two letters gives you the stem of the verb (cantar is to sing, cant- is the stem.) To conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, add these endings to the stems:

-ar		-er		-ir
o	amos		o	emos	o	imos
as	áis		es	éis	es	ís
a	an		e	en	e	en

Remember that verbs do not require the subject pronouns, so just canto means I sing. Here are some more regular verbs:

-ar verbs		-er verbs		-ir verbs
bailar	to dance		aprender	to learn	vivir	to live
desear	to want		comer	to eat	escribir	to write
escuchar	to listen		correr	to run	compartir	to share
estudiar	to study		leer	to read	recibir	to receive
hablar	to speak		vender	to sell
practicar	to practice		beber	to drink
tomar	to take		comprender	to understand
viajar	to travel

To make sentences negative, simply put no in front of the verb.

28. Reflexive Verbs
The subject and the object are the same with reflexive verbs - the subject acts upon itself. A reflexive verb in Spanish will be marked with se attached to the end of the infinitive. These verbs are conjugated like regular verbs, except the reflexive pronoun agrees with case and gender and precedes the verb when not used in the infinitive form. Reciprocal verbs are the same as reflexive except the action passes from one person to another. It can only be used in the first and third person plural forms. Reflexive verbs sometimes use the “-self” forms in English, while the reciprocal verbs use “each other.”

Reflexive Pronouns
me te se	nos os se

Some common reflexive verbs:
acostarse - to go to bed
bañarse - to bathe oneself
casarse - to get married
despertarse - to wake up
irse - to go away
levantarse - to rise
sentarse - to sit down
vestirse - to dress oneself
atreverse - to dare
quejarse - to complain

29. Irregular Conugations
Some verbs have vowel changes in the present tense for all forms except first and second person plural. After dropping the endings (-ar, -er, or -ir), the e of the last syllable changes to ie, and o in the last syllable changes to ue. Some -ir verbs change the e to i.

e to ie	o to ue	e to i
pensar - to think querer - to want, like, love cerrar - to close comenzar - to begin despertar - to awaken empezar - to begin entender - to understand perder - to lose preferir - to prefer sentar - to seat sentir - to regret, feel	contar - to count poder - to be able costar - to cost dormir - to sleep encontrar - to find, meet jugar - to play morir - to die mostrar - to show volar - to fly volver - to return	pedir - to ask (for) repetir - to repeat seguir - to follow servir - to serve vestir - to dress

pensar		contar		pedir
pienso piensas piensa	pensamos pensáis piensan		cuento cuentas cuenta	contamos contáis cuentan	pido pides pide	pedimos pedís piden

30. Impersonal “a”
When the object of a verb (except tener) is a definite person, it is preceded by a. It isn’t used if a number precedes the object though. The pronouns alguien (somebody), alguno (someone), nadie (nobody), and ninguno (no one) require a as well, when used as the direct object. It is also used before geographical names that are not already preceded by an article.
Veo a Juan. I see John.
Veo a alguien. I see somebody.
Describe a Chile. Describe Chile.

31. Preterite Tense
The preterite tense expresses an action in the past. It is used to describe events that are finished or complete. It is formed by adding these endings to the infinitive stem.

-ar verbs		-er and -ir verbs
-é -aste -ó	-amos -asteis -aron		-í -iste -ió	-imos -isteis -ieron

Viví en España dos años. I lived in Spain for two years.
Ellos hablaron con los niños. They spoke with the children.
Quién comió la fruta? Who ate the fruit?

32. Irregular Preterite Tense
A few verbs are irregular in the preterite tense. The following are the most common:

dar - to give		decir - to say, tell		estar - to be
di diste dio	dimos disteis dieron		dije dijiste dijo	dijimos dijisteis dijeron	estuve estuviste estuvo	estuvimos estuvisteis estuvieron
hacer - to do, make		ir - to go / ser- to be		poner - to put, place
hice hiciste hizo	hicimos hicisteis hicieron		fui fuiste fue	fuimos fuisteis fueron	puse pusiste puso	pusimos pusisteis pusieron
tener - to have		traer - to bring		venir - to come
tuve tuviste tuvo	tuvimos tuvisteis tuvieron		traje trajiste trajo	trajimos trajisteis trajeron	vine viniste vino	vinimos vinisteis vinieron

Ir and ser have the same forms in the preterite tense. Context will make the meaning clear.

33. Imperfect Tense
The imperfect is another past tense that is used to express an action as going on in the past, as repeated or habitual. It is also used with mental and physical conditions and for descriptions. The preterite tense is used much more often than the imperfect tense though, except with these verbs: querer, creer, pueder, esperar, tener, and saber. It is formed by adding these endings to the infinitive stem.

-ar verbs		-er and -ir verbs
-aba -abas -aba	-ábamos -abais -aban		-ía -ías -ía	-íamos -íais -ían

Yo vivía en España. I used to live in Spain.
Luisa estaba triste. Louise was sad.
El vendía radios. He was selling radios.
Only a few verbs are irregular in the imperfect tense:

ser - to be		ir - to go		ver - to see
era eras era	éramos erais eran		iba ibas iba	íbamos ibais iban	veía veías veía	veíamos veíais veían

35. Gustar Gustar plus a noun means to like something. Literally, it means to please and takes an indirect object, so the construction of the sentence will be different than that of English.

Me gusta(n)	I like	Nos gusta(n)	we like
Te gusta(n)	you like	Os gusta(n)	you like
Le gusta(n)	you/he/she likes	Les gusta(n)	you/they like

Gusta is used with singular nouns, while gustan is used with plural nouns. With le and les, you can add a Ud., a él, a ella, a Uds., a ellos and a ellas to make the meaning clear.
Me gustan las flores. I like the flowers. (Literally: To me are pleasing the flowers or the flowers are pleasing to me.)
Nos gusta la casa. We like the house.
No me gusta. I don’t like it.
Le gusta a Ud.? Do you like it?
Le gustan a ella. She likes them.

37. To Take or Drink

tomar - to take or drink
tomo tomas toma	tomamos tomáis toman

When tomar means to drink, it usually refers to alcohol. In Mexico, tomar can be intransitive, as beber is almost never used. In Spain, tomar is always transitive, such as tomar una copa- to have a drink and tomar un café - to have a coffee.

38. Commands To form familiar commands, regular -ar verbs end in -a, and -er and -ir verbs end in -e for the tú form. Change the final -r to -d for the vosotros form. Negative familiar commands use the subjunctive forms, so -ar verbs end in -es and -éis, while -er and -ir verbs end in -as and -áis for the tú and vosotros forms.

	Affirmative		Negative
	-ar	-er or -ir		-ar	-er or -ir
tú	-a	-e		-es	-as
vosotros	-ad	-ed		-éis	-áis

Habla! = Speak! (tú form)
Comed! = Eat! (vosotros form)
No comáis! = Don’t eat! (negative vosotros form)

Irregular Familiar Commands
	tú	vosotros
decir hacer ir irse poner salir ser tener venir	di haz ve vete pon sal sé ten ven	decid haced id idos poned salid sed tened venid

To form formal commands of verbs, drop the -o ending of the yo form, and add the opposite vowel ending. This means -ar verbs will add -e for the Usted form and -en for the Ustedes form; while -er and -ir verbs will add -a for Usted and -an for Ustedes. To make a command negative, just add no before it.

	-ar	-er or -ir
Usted	-e	-a
Ustedes	-en	-an

Beba! = Drink! (Usted form)
Coman! = Eat (Ustedes form)
No beban! = Don’t drink! (negative Ustedes form) Ir and ser have irregular forms as formal commands: vaya and vayan for ir and sea and sean for ser. Verbs that end in -car, -gar and -zar have the following changes in commands as well: c becomes qu, g becomes gu, and z becomes c.

39. More Negatives
To make sentences negative, you place no before the verb. Other negatives may precede or follow the verb, but if they follow, they must follow a negative verb (a double negative). The word order is no + verb + negative.

nada
nadie
ninguno (a)
tampoco
ni
ni...ni
ni siquiera
nunca, jamás

nothing, (not) anything
nobody, (not) anybody
no, none
neither, either
nor
neither... nor
not even
never, ever

Nunca means ever when it follows a comparative; jamás means ever when it follows an affirmative verb.

40. Holiday Phrases

Feliz Navidad	Merry Christmas
Feliz Año Nuevo	Happy New Year
Feliz Cumpleaños	Happy Birthday

y retiemble en sus centros la tierra	and let the earth tremble at its center

Columbus, MS - Palmer Home for Children

The Palmer Home Columbus campus covers 100 acres and has seven cottages, two administration buildings, a gym, and several other buildings. Maintenance and improvements are a large undertaking that would be impossible without the help of Christian groups who come throughout the year to do volunteer work. Painting, cleaning, and building are all projects to be done by the day or week.
Volunteers also have the opportunity to interact with children and staff. More information can be found on the Palmer Home website: www.palmerhome.org
