6 Weeks!

This week we were privileged to have Dr Ronald Youngblood as our teacher for the book of Ezekiel. He's just a couple of months away from turning 80 years old and has spent most of his life studying the Old Testament! He helped translate the NIV Bible and worked on the Nelson's Bible Dictionary, just to name a couple of his accomplishments. Read his official biography over at Zondervan. All of his study and experience was definitely helpful on this book, and he's an adorable little man. We thoroughly enjoyed class this week.

It's been a BUSY week though. Ezekiel is the third largest book in the Bible, so the work load was similar to the week that we did Isaiah, plus we had an extra day of class this week. Dr Youngblood has too much information not to take advantage of him being here! Needless to say we're both in a little bit of an over-tired state at the moment. Five more weeks of class seems like a lot, but after next week (Jeremiah) it will be a little bit of a downhill to the end. Then a week of fun road-tripping, and we'll be home for good!

Financial Update
I've been keeping a close watch on our expected expenses from now through the second week of July (our first hope for a real live paycheck from real jobs!). Assuming our regular amount of support comes in this month and nothing unexpected arises, we're only about $500 away from being able to cover all of our expenses. We've already been promised the money to cover our trip home, which is our biggest expense in the near future. However, it's also the farthest away. So our $500 need is a little bit time-sensitive; our current bills need to be paid by June 1st. Once those are paid, we should be all set until getting home.
If you'd like to help us with these last few expenses, let us know! As usual, support can be sent through Grace Community Church or given through Paypal. Click here for details.

Again, thank you SO much to everyone who has helped us get this far!

PS- We haven't forgotten that we haven't told all of you what we're doing next. We did a presentation here a couple of weeks ago and shared our vision with our class, and we took video of it. If you haven't already seen it and would like to, here it is! Admittedly, it's a really long video, so we'll post a shorter summary soon. Be sure to check back!
