Support Raising Update!!! (January)

I got the January month-end report from Asian Access last week and have some awesomely encouraging news to report.  God continues to do some really cool things and has now raised 75% of my monthly goals.  It continues to be such an encouragement to see Him moving support to this ministry, and I'm getting super excited as hitting the goal becomes closer and closer.

PILAT

Since Monday, I've been down here in Palmer Lake (about 30min north of the Springs) attending PILAT (Program in Language Acquisition Training).  The focus has been on acquiring language, as opposed to learning language.  In addition to plenty of drilling with phonetics and sounds, we've been playing around with French, Jeh (a dialect of Vietnamese), Spanish, and even New Guinea Pidgin.  It's def been different from what I expected, but been getting some solid techniques, which is good.

I'm never really a fan of blocks of words, so here are some pics, as promised (although they're not really anything special).

All the snow has seriously made me want to ski....
