Week one of school ...



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!

Home Sweet Home!

Our truck lol! Look at the tires. The car is so low.

Our living room.

The bathroom. We love that we have two sinks!

And the bedroom. We had to run to Sears and get some sheets to fit this bed! It's a king and I was expecting a queen!

We made it....

Well guys we now live in Greenville, SC. It took us about nine hours, so it wasn't to bad. I thought for sure something was going to go wrong with the car, me being the optimist and all, since our car was packed like a truck! lol But we still had no trouble getting down here! So far there are mostly international students here. I could tell that this morning, the married couple from Polland went to the kitchen and instead of getting the food most Americans eat for breakfast like cereal, toast, donuts, etc.. no they got out the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato's......... is America the only country that has food specifically for breakfast?? But that's why I love this place, all the diversity. ;o)

We had our first work day with Mr. Stairs today. (I've heard through word of mouth down here that you don't tell him that you have experience in a specific field, other wise that's all you'll be doing while down here. lol )Kenny got to mow, and sang at the top of his voice, for 3 hr. and I got to paint. While painting, I met a girl named Zeta (sp?) from Latvia, I still don't know much about her since she has a hard time speaking English, but the one thing I did get was that she can sleep a lot better over here because she feels free. Wow I never really even thought about that till now. We don't know we are free until we were not free. God and I also had a very in depth conversation about mosquitoes. Why did he make them? lol Those little boogers ate me up while I was painting.

Well, the rest of the students get here tomorrow, we should have altogether around 32 for a student body this year! I'm really excited about that! If you could, please pray that my allergies stop bugging me. They have been raging war against me! Thanks! Love you all!

Last day at work...

Wow! What a beautiful day! God is so good and I want to give Him praise. Today I was thinking again how gracious God has been to us and being my last day, how he has been and still is day by day our provision!
