A Busy Finish

It’s hard to believe that another quarter (third) is almost over! Here's a quick video update from Jesse before I go into more detail about what we're up to! Be sure to watch both of them; they're really quick!

So last week we prepared teachings on the book of Ruth and presented them to a small group. It was a great break from the normal routine, and we always love getting the chance to teach! The rest of the week has been crazy busy with First and Second Samuel. Jesse was really sick for a couple of days, so the work load has been especially painful for him. Thankfully, since it’s an enormous book (both books together), we get a few extra days than we normally would to complete our homework. Then we’ll be getting ready for our last test before spring break!

As you might imagine, we’ve all been having a serious case of spring fever. Winter here is overcast…every single day. So the recent sunshine is making everyone a little bit bitter about being inside doing homework all day, and the approaching break makes it even harder to focus. But we will finish strong!

On Saturday we’ll be leaving to spend part of our break in Seattle! We’ll be staying with a friend who did DTS Equip with us this past summer and hopefully meeting up with some friends. We’re also planning on visiting Mark Driscoll’s church while we’re there. We don’t want to see him like a tourist attraction, but we’ve been listening to his sermons off and on for years and it will be really fun to actually be there!

We’re definitely looking forward to a chance to do something other than study for a few days. SBS doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for extracurricular activities, but we try to make room for them so we can feel like well-rounded human beings. One of Jesse's favorites is Monday night volleyball. Last Monday was their end-of-quarter tournament, and his team won! Yay!
