Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning. Also working on the Hebrew for 1 Chronicles 29:10-13. Fun and challenging!

Here’s the Hebrew I’m working on.

I’ve been eating vegetable fried rice at American Deli a couple of times a week. It’s pretty much my favorite these days along with teriyaki sauce.

Duolingo is one of my very favorite apps. I’ve been using it to learn languages for about two years now. Last year, Duolingo went from 200 million to 300 million users according to this week’s Time magazine!

This is what I’m currently studying.

I listen to a couple of hours of Radio Garden from Spain today. Concentration!

Two of these kids just started coming to the mission.

Went to the Buford Highway Farmers Market with Ashley and the girls to eat supper. We were planning to go on from there to church, but weather changed the plans. Still fun!

Even though the PO was closed, I thought that the automated section was open, which it was, but it didn’t work. I’ll do it tomorrow.

Ashley needs to take a CPR class. I noticed this sign for her. It’s something I probably need to take as well.

I dropped off my suit pants to the dry cleaners. They got a couple of spots on them yesterday.
