Many things have been happening around here. First of all I’ve been extremely busy working on my seminary degree. Two weeks ago I had a class due and I still had not written the 4 papers it required. Yes, I admit I am a procrastinator. So for four days strait I did nothing but read books and write papers. With five hours to spare I emailed all my work to my professor. Now I find myself busy with another class: hermeneutics. I have three weeks to complete this class so I am reading books, listening to lectures, and doing assignments most days.

Another bit of exciting news is that my dog Asha had puppies. They are mutts, one boy and one girl, and they are adorable.


Lastly I was able to take a ministry trip last week to Surket, Nepal; about 16 hours from Kathmandu. Our team has been helping a local man plant two churches in this region. We took this trip to be able to encourage the young believers, do some teaching in the church and with the leaders, and to look at future work. While we were there, we were able to assist in the church’s first baptismal service. On Sunday we took a trip down to the river and baptized 5 new Christians. It was such a joyous time and the highlight of my trip.
