Konnichi wa!

It has been taking me about one week per lesson to let the Japanese language completely sink in. I’m pretty happy with that kind of progress, as I have felt very comfortable with my comprehension of the language and I haven’t yet gotten too frustrated… Until now. See, I have been practicing the lessons while traveling to and from work every week day. I practice one lesson for most of the week and then begin listening to the next lesson on Thursday just to get a taste (and then I start actual practice of the lesson the next Monday). Anyway, it’s been two weeks now, so I have successfully completed two lessons! Yesterday, as I have described, I began listening to “Jugyõ 3: Norimono No Meishi: (Lesson 3: Transportation Nouns)... My goodness these things are difficult! The phrases are long, the words are difficult to remember, and I don’t know how I am going to do it. But, I will!

Please pray for my family (ten of us) from here in Kansas City, from California, and from Ohio and a bunch of friends from various locations traveling to Atlanta today and tomorrow for my father-in-law’s funeral. It should be an easy trip, but God’s grace is always desired.

Also, I won’t be able to post any pictures at my Photoblog for grid::blog | Project 365 on Saturday and Sunday. I will be taking pictures, though, so look for new ones on Monday evening!

See ya.
