Along Came a Spider

So we had this "little guy" living in the rafters of the house. Some of the Sudanese guys who saw it said, "This will grow big enough to kill birds." Needless to say, I took care of him immediately thereafter. We'll leave the radioactive spider bites to comic book heroes. And next time you take a $1 bill out of your wallet, please pray for us in Sudan.

Language Learning


Our language teachers are giving us commands so that we learn proximity. "Put the frog on top of the kettle." We've learned animals, household items, action-based commands, and greetings. We're working through the parts of the body and family members now. "Where is your brother's nose?"

Our speaking is very limited, but our recognition of words is coming along very well. It's like how a baby learns English. He won't speak until after a long time of only listening.
