Finished Unit 40. I also completed the reading for Unit 35 by going through each section
from 3-5 times. Maybe I can finish up Unit 41 before I go on my extended vacation.

Pretty much finished up Unit 41 before my trip. I still want to review and really get it down. Great things to cover (subjunctive) that are good to get down early.
I read the Gospel of Mark Chapter 1 three times while on vacation for two weeks. That was the extent of my language study on my vacation. I should start up again on Monday.

Unit 41 complete. I'm working on FSI readings from Unit 36 as well as reading the Bible (Mark Chapter 3). I do my readings at least 3 times through to look up words, then study them and then go through again and put them in context.
I also listened to a message from Pastor Gustavo Rodriguez from Peru (about an hour in length). He has spoken (in English) at my church quite a few times. He is a native of Lima, Peru and speaks Spanish very clearly. He posts his messages online and I believe this will be great listening exposure for me (1st link below). I'm also interested in listening toa native Chilean Pastor who also posts his messages online (2nd link below)

Great job! I'm right there behind you on Lesson 32. It takes a lot of stamina to complete FSI (I don't think I realized what I was signing up for when I started!) Way to go on keeping the momentum!
