First post in three weeks

Life has been so busy. I'll give you a brief overview of our last few weeks. Our first week was alot of settling in and getting used to the new schedule. We were meeting alot of people and really getting excited about classes. Our second week we were all sick. I only went to one class all week (I was able to keep up through listening to class recordings). Our third week was very busy with lots of homework and reading. When that weekend came we were relieved to be able to get off campus and take a trip home for the long weekend. It was so great to go back and see everyone. This week has been going fairly smoothly. We have lots more homework as we have been finishing up a couple classes and have 2 new classes starting today (Communication Skills + Love and Respect)

Talk about busy days! It seems like we're always in a hurry go somewhere or get something done. It's all I can do to keep up with laundry and dishes. I wish the training were still a 2 year program so that we would have the time to really take all we're learning and put in in practice. You know that feeling like a wet sponge trying to soak up more water, that's about how we feel. We're getting so much awsome teaching, but we can barely soak it all in. And then I realize that we've barely just started.

Henry

I'm home from classes today because it's ANOTHER snow day. So this week has consisted of 1 sick day and 3 snow days. Carolyn seems to not be totally herself yet as she still is having some intestinal problems, but as you can see that doesn't stop her from being her happy little self. I have a bit of a sore throat and stuffy nose that I think I may have caught from the neighbor's kids. Hopefully next week will be a little more normal.

We have been so busy. I think we're finally settling into the routine. This last Monday we had to miss classes because all of us except Henry were sick, and the last two days Dieneke has had to miss classes to take care of the kids(there's no child care when the public schools have snow days). But God has given us just the time we need to keep up.

I'll put up more pictures tomorrow

Arrived At MTC!

Well, we made it! After many days of planning, selling, and packing, we arrived at New Tribes Mission Missionary Training Center on Friday January 16. We were blessed with an enormous beautiful apartment that was only completed last summer; it's one of the highest buildings on the property, so there's a wonderful view from our second floor bedroom window of the entire campus, but it's a bit of a climb to get to it. We have a busy schedule, but we promise more posts and more pictures soon.
