Got such a nice message from my Italian buddy Elia who spent the weekend with other students and my good friend Anthony. Always makes me feel worthwhile.

I think this is going to really help Miles and Ashley.

Español!

Sometimes Spanish structures just don’t make sense to me. It’s the exact opposite of what I expected. It seems like Duolingo doesn’t always get the English translation correct.

OYB!

Jessi made a major decision this morning to let his company stop running. She never made any money with the company, although she’s created a lot of good content which she can still use to benefit people. After that conversation with me, she wanted me to talk to Andy who is another of the board members. Our talk was a real blessing to me.

Made contact with Justin Caton today. He’s a youth director that another of my partners thought I should contact.

Went to the bank to deposit checks.

Chilly today. Really cold sitting outside at the mission. I helped a couple of the 7th graders with their map of Georgia before and after the French and Indian war.

Went by my office to check on the mail.

Picked up groceries.

Seem to have a mouse in the house. Got some glue traps. Unfortunately, they didn’t send me the correct size. I needed the target ones, but I think these smaller ones might work.

Having a strong start on the week. I’m studying hard and find talking to the kids in Spanish every day at the mission easier and more fulfilling. It’s amazing how different the kids are. Some only want to talk to me in Spanish, others really prefer talking in English. That includes them talking in English to their other Latino friends!
