Thanks
Looks like I'll have to find a good local spanish class.
I have reached my level of frustration with my own ability (lack of) to read and speak the language. I have a few mexican carpenters working with me.
I had hoped to learn more but they only want to speak english.

Close. Grover.
But in a prayer, "Se?or" means Lord, not Mister. The Lord of the Flies translated as El Se?or de Las Moscas, etc. In Spanish, there really
isn't a difference. We translate it two (or 3-"Sir", too) ways because we egalitarian Americans are uncomfortable addressing another ordinary human
as "Lord". When a traditional Mexican woman refers to her husband as "Mi se?or" , literally "my lord", it must drive the femiN-zis up the wall.
Here's another shot:
Lord
Send me Sorrow and Pain
Send me Aged Evils
But to put up with F***ing Idiots

Funny thing about using Se?or in bible related stuff - I can never get used to using the 2nd person familiar (tu) when refering to God. In fact using
Se?or with anyone and then proceeding to use tu with them just feels strange.
At least the way I was brought up in protestantism, God was something to be feared/respected and all that.
As far as I'm aware all versions of the bible in spanish use "tu" when refering to God.

You might try seeing if they are willing to meet you half way. Offer to speak to them only in spanish and have them only speak to you in english and
correct each other. You'll all learn a lot and have a lot of fun at each others' expense.
I did that with a professor I lived with in Mexico City who wanted to improve his english and it worked pretty well. (Drove people around us nuts,
though.)
