so my dear readers, i can at last taste the scrumptious savory flavor of america in my mouth and upon my impending arrival, i plan on self-evaluating over those ten days to consider how discipleship is going and how i can improve my use of time with the girls whom i meet with weekly.

jo is one of the girls who i meet with weekly. i think i spend my time with her pretty effectively.

she started kicking off, as brummies are known to do--and the little grasshopper simply needed a lesson in submission. i fixed my hair until her will was broken.

i think i'll carry that method over into next term.
