          Yesterday I started studying Spanish from another program on the computer called “Duolingo.”  It’s great and I actually enjoyed it!  Tonight, the program generated an email reminder to me as follows: 

Hi bevcpeterson, keep the owl happy!
Learning a language requires practice every day!
  
There is a cute mascot--a green owl that wouldn't copy and paste--that is depending on me for its happiness; so I spent time on the program again tonight—just to keep the owl happy!  I didn’t know the computer was going to keep after me about Spanish, too!!  I can just hear some of you saying "practice, practice, practice"!!
          It was a beautiful day outside and a great day in the temple.  Reading several articles from the January Ensign was also a blessing.  Those who counsel us are inspired by our Heavenly Father to give us the messages we need and I am truly grateful for this spiritual resource at our fingertips.

          Brother Bassett, one of the senior missionaries, turned 81 years old on Sunday!  He is amazing.  He is full of energy and kindness, always has a smile and a cheerful greeting, and absolutely loves serving in the temple.  You would never guess his age since he seems much younger.  This is about the 5th or 6th mission that he and his wife have served.   What a great example!!
