So I've been trying to remember if I actually did all of the reading required for my coursework when I was at Radford University and UNCG...probably not. However, now, as I begin my seminary assignments, I am realizing how necessary it is! Since the classes are only offered on the weekends (and once a month for each class) there is a great deal of reading to be done before the classes start and then throughout the duration of the three months! Wow...and to think I'm only getting started! That was mostly how I spent my last week. When I didn't have my nose in a book I was running errands, going to the eye-doctor, taking cars in for their state inspections, taking grandpa to the audiologist, etc. It's been a rather busy week.
Today I am actually flying to Tampa, Florida. You may remember me talking about my friends the HAuses in Bolivia. They flew up to the states about a week ago for his parent's 50th wedding anniversary last week. This week I am joining them in Tampa and we will vacation a bit before landing in Miami next Sunday at which time they will return to Bolivia and I to Virginia (as long as I don't actually get lost in one of their duffel bags...hee, hee).
Well, I guess that's it for now. I will be sure to send pictures and an up-date of my trip to Florida next week.

August Already?
Well, I believe we have established that I don't do well up-dating my blog every couple of weeks due to the fact that it has been over a month since I last up-dated. In light of this "new discovery", I have decided to return to up-dating my blog once a week, on Mondays. Please bear with me, however, if I have an occasional week without much of anything interesting to share!
My travels over the past couple of weeks included a trip to Eden, NC (actually Rockingham County), where I used to live before going to Bolivia. I was able to speak briefly at the church I attended there. I was also able to attend and share a little in a Spanish speaking church that I was involved in at that time. After that my family and I spent the weekend in Abingdon for the Virginia Highlands Festival, a large arts and crafts festival that is held there the first two weeks of August each year. I was also able to share about the Lord's work in Bolivia with our "family" at Abingdon Bible Church. During these two weeks when I wasn't in Rockingham County or Abingdon, I had the pleasure of staying with Emily and baby Wes while Emily's husband, Christopher, was in Guatemala on a mission's trip with their church.
Now, I am back at my mom and dad's house in Franklin. I have been officially accepted, oriented, and registered for classes at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. My first class will be September 7-8. One of the things I like about GCTS was that the classes are offered on the weekends (Friday nights 6:30-9:30 and then Saturdays 8:30-4:30), during September, October, and November, which means I can drive down for a couple of days and then drive back to Emily's house or my parent's. The classes I have registered for are: Theology Survey I (1st weekend of each month), Church History to the Reformation (3rd weekend), and New Testament Survey (4th weekend).
Please continue to pray for me that God would strengthen me and grant me wisdom as I begin taking classes at GCTS. Also, that God would provide the financial support that I need in order to cover the costs of my classes and allow me to return to Bolivia. May He bless each of you for your continued faithfulness to Him.
