9 Weeks!

I'm actually feeling kind of intimidated by how little time we have left here. I feel worried that I won't finish my homework this week because I actually have long-term worry about homework plus social events plus deep cleaning and packing up the house the very day that the school ends. Then I slap myself and remember I'll be just fine and I rejoice that 9 weeks from now I'll be sitting at my mom and dad's kitchen counter telling them all about our trip home. Ah, that sounds nice :)

I don't have a whole lot to report on for this past week. We were busy studying four minor prophets: Joel, Jonah, Nahum, and Hosea. We also read Isaiah in preparation for next week's huge assignment.

Remember a couple of weeks ago how I wrote about a friend giving us a bunch of food when they moved away? There's another family in our church that's moving across the country, and they heard that I love to cook and that the other couple left their food with us, so they brought us food too!

I now have more instant potatoes than I'll ever use...but I also have a whole bunch of various flours! Perfect for baking experiments between now and June :) Woohoo!

AND on the topic of huge blessings--
This week we went to the accounting office to pay the last bit of our tuition as well as our rent. This makes us almost completely done paying for things here! According to my records, all we had left was to pay rent in June.
Just to give you a little bit of background on this topic, I should tell you that earlier this week we were adding up expenses from now until the day we drive into Dover, NH, and we realized that we were short several hundred dollars. Not to worry, this is pretty normal for us; I think God likes building our faith! The really awesome thing is that when we went in to pay our tuition and rent the other day, we were told that all of our bills would be covered by that payment. Somehow we were ahead of schedule, and instead of handing them rent for May, I was handing them rent for June! We're DONE! And that means that from now until we drive into Dover, NH, we are actually very close to having what we need!

God just blows my mind sometimes!
