Spring Time

April 19, 2012

It has been quite fast-paced around NTBI as us seniors approach our trip to Wayumi, a NTM camp in Jersey Shore, PA and then graduation not long afterward.We had a great spring break in North Carolina. Check out our last blog with all of the pictures. I was inspired to sew after the trip, thanks […]

Spring Break in North Carolina

Missionary Conversations

April 5, 2012

One of my favorite things about school is the chance to hear from the people that have gone before us. It’s utterly enthralling to hear their stories and how the world of an entire ethnic group has been forever changed because of the gospel. We do all we can to absorb the lessons they’ve learned […]

Falling Asleep While Reading

March 7, 2012

Well, that’s what I was doing when I decided it was time to update the blog, falling asleep that is. Our Revelation textbook just couldn’t keep my brain connected after a night of not-so-good sleep and a very busy day. I attribute the lack of sleep to my late game of futsol and the adrenaline […]

Taxes, Necks, and Potato Sacks

February 15, 2012

Winter is the perfect time for crafty things–I mean the paper and fabric kind, not the sneaky kind. Well, I’m sure winter holds plenty of room for deception, but I prefer hauling out the sewing machine or the folder with all the magazine cutouts. Although, I did have to haul out the folder with all […]

Blood, Oil, and Teeth

January 30, 2012

What a month! We transitioned back into school mode from a month of family, festivities, laid-back mornings, and too many snacks. We had Student Training Program the 3 days before the start of the semester and then right into 2 hours of Philippians, and Payton had Oral Communications. Both he and I have already taken […]

Over the Break

January 7, 2012

Christmas break was a flurry of friends, family and festivities. We let the blog and updates go during the break. We were blessed to spend 2 ½ weeks in California, and still have a bit of time left to prepare before the semester. By the grace of God neither of us got sick during the […]

The Holidays

December 9, 2011

Out on a sunny adventure in the marsh. Payton and Hope out on a log in a swamp. Up a tree–the one with the biggest thorns of course. We all pitched in and it was a grand feast indeed! Finishing up study at The Resale Depot with the Ebels. Our first attempt at cheesecake! […]

Something to Chew On

November 17, 2011

So what do Juniors at NTBI do in Block 4? Well, this is what our kitchen table/office space looks like every day in between meals and sometimes during meals: These were some quotes that I’ve written down over the course of the last few weeks, mostly from our Hebrews professor–some made me think, some ruffled […]

Never too busy to be clutzy

October 27, 2011

Yikes! It’s almost been a month since our last post! We’ve both been busy–specifically, I’ve been clutzy. Payton called it my personal “Series of Unfortunate Events.” Since last time we posted, I’ve exploded a pyrex dish and broke a glass–in the same day, mind you–, set off the smoke alarm 2x and then actually burn […]
