Moving from NTBI in Wisconsin to the MTC in Missouri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How many people move to a new state during Christmas break? Not many, that’s why we decided to try it twice in 2 years! We moved from California to Wisconsin in December 2009, and from Wisconsin to Missouri in December 2011.<\/p>\n

Our apartment at the MTC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While studying at\u00a0NTBI\u00a0<\/a>the 4 of us lived in a 500sqft one-bedroom apartment. We really enjoyed it for the most part, but we were happy to move into a 4-bedroom at the\u00a0MTC<\/a>…even if we did have to walk to “wash-house east” for our shower and laundry needs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Our class has about 30 students in it<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are in class about 20 hours a week. Our\u00a0first semester classes<\/a>\u00a0at the MTC were eye-opening, practical, and challenging! A few of our favorite subjects were Worldview, Foundational Bible Teaching, and Linguistics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Some classmates and I are on the grounds crew for work duty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The guys on campus invest 8 hours a week helping the staff maintain our huge\u00a0campus<\/a>. I was on grounds crew first semester. I can now add “able to start every make and model of lawn-mower and weed-wacker” on my resume!<\/p>\n

The men also spend 8 hours a week investing in various ministries off-campus. I was involved in a Bible study for men at a homeless shelter, played drums for the worship team at church, and occasionally went with Kristi and the kids to visit the nursing home.<\/p>\n

The women spend 4 hours a week investing in various ministries off-campus. Kristi did an amazing job volunteering at a nursing home. She did that faithfully twice a week all through the semester.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>We are blessed to have a beautiful lake right on campus! When we get a little free time, we enjoy fishing, swimming, and going out on the canoes.\u00a0We are so thankful to be on this journey together as a family. We are learning so much about the Lord, ourselves, and the world. We appreciate the support, prayers, and encouragement you send our way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
