Senior Semester Begins!

The Final Semester Has Begun:
  • Today we completed the first full week of classes. It is so wonderful to be back into the in-depth study of the Word of God. This semester started with us diving into the books of Daniel & Revelation (although we already studied through the Old Testament, we did not study Daniel because it goes along with Revelation), as well as Philippians. Today we are starting 1 Thessalonian's, and the ball keeps rolling after that. 
  • Towards the end of this semester our entire senior class will be taking a trip to Jersey Shore, PA. There, we will attend Wayumi, which is a retreat that New Tribes has set up in order to get a feel for what Tribal Missions is like. We will be there for a week, and will take a class while we are there as well. We are SO excited for this, and can't wait to get a better understanding of what we might be doing in the future.

  • We are still getting about 20 hours a week of work with Andrew. This is helping in keeping up with our phone, and car insurance bills, as well as our monthly $475 school payment. It is always a real challenge to get the initial down payment for the semester, and we are still trying to play catch up. Please pray with us about the outstanding $250 we still owe by February 1st. After that we will have 3 more payments of $475 through the rest of this semester. We are so thankful for the job that we have, but it has put more of a strain on us with getting the homework done. 
  • As we mentioned previously, we are student leaders this semester. Our time in training before the semester started was phenomenal! We are on the Campus Life team, which means we are involved in planning events and socials for the student body. It is a lot of fun, but it is going to consist of a good bit of time too. We never realized how much time and effort really goes into everything that the school does for us. 
  • Continue to be in prayer with us about where God wants us to be next. There are many possibilities, and everyday it seems like another option would be better than the previous. We know, however, that wherever we end up, we want to serve God with our whole hearts, souls, and minds! 
Thank you friends for your prayers, support, and encouraging words!

Because He said "Go!",
