Tomorrow starts week four of classes and, I think its safe to say now, we’ve settled back into the routine.\u00a0\u00a0 We arrived here at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) in Roach Missouri friday August 14th.\u00a0 We kicked off the new semester with grammar and literacy classes but now we’re in the midst of our Culture and Language Acquisition Practicum.\u00a0 Staff here are role playing the Dobu tribe from Papua New Guinea and we get to practice a bit what we’ve been learning.\u00a0 The Dobu have a very different culture than our own, a culture we (the students) do not yet understand.\u00a0 Through this exercise we get to see how the choices we, ‘the missionaries,’ make affect our ministry with the people and may affect our whole team.\u00a0\u00a0 Its a good time practicing what we’ve learned and learning about ourselves.<\/p>\n
The family is doing well.\u00a0 Maisie Grace Hostetter was born July 24th and is now already six weeks old.\u00a0 Micah and Cole love being back here with their many friends.\u00a0 Chris is involved in Young Life again this year and has also taken on the responsibility of co-leading the team of New Tribers involved in Young Life.\u00a0 Also, Maggie may be co-leading a small group with highschool girls from the Potter’s House Church.\u00a0 Continue to remember us in your prayers.\u00a0 God bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
