Valentine's Day

Today we had our first Mandarin lesson.  Goodness, it is hard!  Now I know how ELL students feel!!! We had a 30 minute lesson and I was so exhausted.  I must practice a few times a day.  Some of the words sound similar to the words in Cantonese but the tones and accents are hard. I am not even sure if Jackson will understand our Chinese. Lesson #2 is next week and hopefully it will get better....we don't have a choice, we are leaving soon! I know Jackson will learn English quickly but I really want him to maintain some Chinese.  I am not sure how that will happen but I know it is important. On another note, I went to the doctor and I just found out that my Lupus is almost in remission. Praise God for this.  It has almost been one year since I got really sick and diagnosed with it.Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

Happy Valentine's to all!
