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.
