- Connected with the local family
Visited with Marcus & Julia, Ryan, and Gary and Danita

- Knee surgery and a good bit of healing
- Finished the last Pimsleur lesson (30+ were completed here in Beijing)
- 20+ hours of 1-to-1 Mandarin classes - learned many sentence structures
- Worked on Rosetta Stone (but not enough)
- Traveled throughout many parts of Beijing - learned the bus, subway, and light rail systems
- Taught a little to compen$ate for time in Beijing
- Had soul searching experiences
talked with God about my purpose
His plans for me & Jaime
explored reasons for personal decisions - Went to Ikea (laugh, this is supposed to be funny)
What will we do in the next few days?
- Have dinner with Glen & Joana
- Jaime will get reacquainted with China - time zone, culture, food, etc.

It sounds like you've accomplished a lot. I'm really excited about the possibility of coming to visit you.. I'll have to make a new blog just so I can post from over there. You guys can't get Xanga can you?
