Dear Mom,

…. We have four more weeks of language school before the semester break, starting December twenty-third. The entire class is really getting tired of classes. We are realizing that any real fluency in Amharic is going to take a long time and plenty of hard work. I am sure looking forward to the month break between semesters – I’ll go down to Yabello. Vince is down there now. We did some tree planting when I was there last ….

Love to Everyone,

Ned
