Goodbyes

Goodbyes

January 6, 2014

We did it! We graduated! And we met some amazing people in the process, which really did make it hard to say goodbyes and pack up. Whether it was our small group (elinc) or just working at the front desk for three semesters, I got to spend a lot of time with all sorts of […]

Flashback: The Last Week of MTC

Flashback: The Last Week of MTC

January 5, 2014

The last week of school was quite memorable, while at the same time it sped by far too fast. We had a random assortment of Practical Skills classes to finish up. We dabbled in auto mechanics (very basic), with the basic rule of thumb being keep up on your maintenance if you get a vehicle […]

Webfast Wacktivities

October 10, 2013

What do you do when there’s no google? I’m sure everyone responds differently, but I took an awful lot of picture of bugs. I don’t know if was because of the webfast or coincidence, but we ended up doing some other odd stuff this past month too. Here’s a few:We kept finding stick bugs–this one […]

A Hasty Decision

A Hasty Decision

September 9, 2013

We’re going to be doing a webfast for the next month! The whole first semester class is doing it, and we didn’t get this opportunity our first semester since it hadn’t been introduced yet. Our friends in CP1 wrote good blog posts about it, so I’ll let them do the explaining! Check out the Miller’s […]

I Can Plumb and Read!

September 8, 2013

Our training here in Missouri is all about us getting involved and engaged with the world around us. They figure if we’re not doing it now, why would we assume it’s going to happen instantly when we cross over an ocean or a continent! Our training is comprehensive in that it is designed to force […]

Back to the Ozarks

September 3, 2013

I can’t say that I like traveling the 12 hours back to Missouri. It’s always hard to leave Colorado behind, but this time, I was feeling that itch to return to my own bed–well, and to finish school for that matter. (We’re only one semester away!)The drive wasn’t really that bad. We enjoyed listening to […]

People! Part I

People! Part I

August 22, 2013

I have a collection of pictures and things that happened that didn’t get posted during the summer. They were tiny adventures or a few hours here and there that made our summer such a good one. I’m very thankful for the good things that I was blessed with–those “good things” came in the form of […]

Payton’s brother Austin made a visit out to us at the MTC after he got back from Afghanistan! Everything was crazy as the semester came to an end, but he was able to jump right in. He got to check out our TPR (langauge-learning) class and see what life on campus looks like. But, one […]

Pig’s Feet and Another Party

June 12, 2013

I’m a bit behind on blogs, but I promise to get some fresh, current Colorado posts out soon. This was a much anticipated lab with limited spots. I got the privilege of helping shave the pig’s foot before rushing off to my small group study. Payton was left to learn the art of suturing. I […]

Half-linc Hayday

Half-linc Hayday

June 6, 2013

I am of the strong opinion that eating together is one of the best ways to get to know people and form familial type bonds. I have the luxury of eating three meals a day, of which I am well-aware that much of the world doesn’t have this option. But, I am convinced that if […]
