One Day in the Books

The title of this post may give some the idea that I mean a day of studying and research. Actually, I mean one day of class is in the books. I will be teaching here for only four days because of having to travel on Fridays this time. Because of that, the school here has changed its schedule to 7 hours per day. We meet at 8:00 a.m. to begin class for the day. Chapel is at 10:00 a.m. and class resumes at 10:40 a.m. and goes until noon. In the afternoon we resume our study at 1:00 p.m. and dismiss at 4:45 p.m., giving us the 7 hours we need. This makes for a very long day.

I am trying something new this time. For the first time in my classes with Bear Valley, I am teaching in Spanish. My brother and friend Abraham Alata is on hand to help when I need it, but almost all of the class today was in Spanish. I am still a little rusty, but I was very happy to be able to understand the questions that were asked of me and to teach in a language I have not used full time for almost 25 years. I think (hope, pray) that after two weeks of teaching this material in Spanish, I will have gained ground in my efforts to recoup what abilities I have lost over the years.

Thanks to all of you who are keeping me, my family and this work in your prayers. Hasta mañana y ¡QueDios les bendiga!
