3rd Semester Is Starting!

The view of the city from NTBI

We have been here for a year! It's hard to believe we are already halfway done with the Biblical Studies portion of our education. One more year to go, then two years of missionary training at the MTC! Spring semester started Sunday, January 16. Mike is really busy planning, scheduling, rehearsing, and leading the worship team for the 3-day orientation. He usually plays drums or guitar, and lets some of the other students lead vocally.

Making a gingerbread house

We couldn't afford to fly home to California for Christmas. We sure missed seeing our loved ones, but we managed to have a nice time as a family. We made some neat memories sledding, taking a walk while it snowed on Christmas Eve, going ice skating, and spending time with a few of the students who also stayed on campus over the break. We were so blessed by friends and family who made it possible for us to buy Christmas presents for the kids! Thank you so much!

The Day Family 4

We are reaching a point where we will need to rely on the Lord for financial provision more than ever before. As we look to Him and see His faithfulness displayed in scripture and in our own lives, we feel excited about what He has in store for us as we depend on Him to meet our needs. But, when we look at the things of this earth, we begin to feel very uneasy. Please pray that we will trust the Lord as we seek wisdom and direction to navigate this next chapter in our journey to the mission field.
