I had a great day with my son today! I told him that he’d been elevated to a corollary I say about Ashley: “Never too much Ashley.” I’m adding “Never too much Jesse” now!
\n\"j\"<\/p>\n

This morning Jesse and I went over to Walmart to pick up some supplies for the mission. Some of the older kids didn’t get a gift from the team this weekend, so I went and bought them some soccer balls. They really loved that!<\/p>\n

\"b\"<\/p>\n

\"b\"
\nEven got me some new flip flops. Woot!<\/p>\n

\"f\"<\/p>\n

I wonder what the big rush is?
\n\"b\"
\nI also dropped off a DVD to FBC Mountain Park that I’d edited and burned from the outreach event that we hosted at Villa Nueva with Keith Harrell.
\n\"m\"<\/p>\n

Also bought some styrofoam balls for on of our girls who is making a planet project. She was really excited about that too.<\/p>\n

We went to Roswell today to have a meeting with Jesse’s audiologist. He made some small adjustments to J’s device. Good report!
\n\"j\"
\nI love all the technology related to that!
\n\"t\"<\/p>\n

We spent a little time at the Barnes and Nobel. That’s my treat, because I’ve been a good boy. <\/p>\n

I got the War of Art by Stephen Pressman. Good stuff. Recommended by Seth Godin, one of my favorite authors. Jesse is reading it to me in the car while I drive. He got a book on finances based on the teachings of Ben Franklin, one of my heroes.<\/p>\n

I like the images that these glass tiles created at BK.
\n\"t\"<\/p>\n

Then to Azalea to help the kids with their homework.
\n\"m\"\"j\"\"r\"<\/p>\n

I spent almost all my time with Ernest, one of the kids at the mission who’s a grown up now. He’s like a son to me. A real go getter. I always enjoy trying to help those guys either with advice or just encouragement.<\/p>\n

Had a meeting with several of the mothers. I’m trying to help them with tables or chairs. There are a lot of big events going on this weekend with the families. Holy Week is a really big deal in the Latino community.<\/p>\n

Had almost total comprehension with what was going on and was able to communicate really well. All this work I’ve been doing on Spanish seems to be paying off!<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to massive improvement after my two weeks in Costa Rica where I’ll have nearly total immersion. I usually speak about 4 hours of Spanish a week. I’ll have about 7 months of practice in 2 weeks!<\/p>\n

One of my favorite colors is pink. I liked this promotion from Burger King.

This was from the front of a Jag. Suh weet!
