2018.05.18: A beautiful evening

This evening, I was invited over for a little fika after dinner. One of my students is prayerfully discerning continuing his studies at Fuller Seminary. I believe Fuller would be a great option for him. This evening was an opportunity for me to sit down with him and his wife to talk over some questions related to studying in the USA and moving with their family to the USA for a couple years.

On my bicycle ride home, this was my view.

A big sun with the ever-present cathedral spires on the horizon

It was perfect weather—in addition to this beautiful glimpse—for the ride home.

The last Hebrew lesson this morning will be followed with the final exam on Thursday. The students have developed a refrain which they said was taken from the Hebrew course at Uppsala University: “Embrace the chaos.” I encourage them to have reasonable first-year Hebrew expectations, and focus on our goal of understanding the text. Now, we have a good grammatical foundation to build upon—and some software when we get stuck. So, we are now one-year farther along on a life-long journey of discovery. Here’s where the students can quote me, as they do sometimes, “Whoo hoo!” Hebrew lunches are already planned for Fridays in the fall to keep the Hebrew and discovery going. “Whoo hoo!”

With blessings,

Beth

    What a great picture of a Swedish sunset!
    I’m glad to hear the good news of Hebrew lunches already scheduled for next year.
