http://blog.spotd.net/2014/09/primary-programs.html

Spanish Phrase of the Day. Better Living Through Spanish. The children's Sunday School in our church is called "The Primary." Once a year, the primary takes over the group worship service (sacrament meeting) to provide music, scripture, and testimony. Today was that day, and it did not disappoint.

Spanish Phrase of the Day. Better Living Through Spanish. Dealing with the Unexpected. I'm writing this from the First Class section of a very short flight from LAX to San Diego.

http://blog.spotd.net/2014/10/changes.html

Spanish Phrase of the Day. Better Living Through Spanish. I've done a poor job of keeping to my resolution to write a weekly post, so this is my attempt at repentance.
