Janelle and I have really enjoyed our first week of school. We really haven't started real classes yet but that should all change next week. The first week is set aside for orientation and going over rules and focusing on why we are really here. The first week has gone by fast but on the other hand it has seemed as if we have been here for a while already. It's been really easy to fit in here, its not home but it is right where we believe God wants us for this season. There is no better place to be then in the midst of God's will.
The first week hasn't been a bed of roses at the same time. We have endured a lot of pain already. Let me explain, we are both out of shape and the assignment for the first day of school was .... yup wish you could have been here to join us. Go run 1.3 miles, oh and if you really want you can run the bigger loop which is 3 mi. Its pretty safe to say we were sore the next morning and still feeling the side effects of that and the rest of the physical activity we had to do through out the week. It has been fun though and a great way to build character, team work and discipline. That is one of the main reasons for having physical activities as one of the classes here at EI. Usually we play volleyball or soccer instead of running.
The classes first semester that we are taking include; Old Testemant Survey, Doctrine I - Attributes of God & Quiet time, and Spiritual Conflict. The atmosphere here is wonderful, located about 5 miles from downtown, nestled in a quiet 55 acre plot surrounded partially by woods and mountains in the background. It provides a great place to study and relax yet not out in the middle of no where.
We all have to sign up for two different ministries to be involved with while we are here. One as an outreach to those who are unsaved and the other as one to build up the body of Christ. We decided to help with a ministry that teaches bible stories to children and their families at a local apartment complex. Many of which are Hispanic. We are really excited about this opportunity to serve. Janelle then signed up for choir and I am helping with drama for the ministry to encourage the body of Christ. We will travel to different churches doing a program once a month. Below are so pictures of our first week at the Sidewalk Sunday School program.
They do the programs from a box truck that turns into a stage.
This is Zeta from Latvia.
Please continue to prayer that we would have open hearts to learn all that God wants to teach us while we are here. Thank you very much for all your prayers and encouragement!
