Dear Friends and Family,<\/em>

\u00a0 \u00a0We are doing well up here in the still-frozen North land.\u00a0 This weekend brought a chilly mix of freezing rain, snow, and tiny ice-pellets\u2014so we are staying indoors nice and cozy!\u00a0 Spring will be here soon though!\u00a0 Right?…

\u00a0 \u00a0Thank you for all of your prayers and support for us over the last 9 months of our training.\u00a0 We are already over halfway through our time here!\u00a0 We can hardly believe how fast the time has gone; it\u2019s been such a privilege to be equipped through this program.

\u00a0 \u00a0Right now, Jungle Camp is looming large in all of our minds as it is only 6 weeks away.\u00a0 We\u2019ve begun collecting the tools, food, and household items needed for building our house in the woods. \u00a0Our class will spend about 2 weeks in the construction stage after which we\u2019ll move into our new \u201chomes\u201d for a month!\u00a0 A huge thank you to those of you who have helped us gather supplies! (CBC Sending Team)\u00a0 If anyone wants to make a trip up here to visit us in Jungle Camp, you are invited on July 7th<\/sup>!\u00a0Click\u00a0Here<\/a>\u00a0for Open House\u00a0info.

\u00a0We have also had the opportunity to help lead a Bible Study at the local nursing home this semester.\u00a0 Tyler and two other classmates are teaching chronologically through the most crucial Biblical accounts to show the residents who God is and who they are in His eyes. This serves to prepare them to be able to understand the significance of Jesus Christ and what He did for them.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a great chance for us to reach out to the community and to practice teaching in a similar way to how we\u2019ll teach in a tribe in the future.

Prayer Points<\/strong>
For God’s work in our lives, marriage, and hearts to prepare us for future ministry
For the Bible Study at the nursing home to be a light to the community and bring people closer to Christ
For continued guidance in future direction and decisions
Praise<\/strong>
The people and relationships that we have been blessed with here
God\u2019s provision for us to be here as students\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus Reading!!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our current classes:<\/strong>
1st<\/sup> hour<\/strong> has been focused on preparing us to teach Bible lessons to people of other cultures and languages.  Right now we are going through Romans practicing what it would theoretically look like to teach the incredible truths of that letter to new tribal believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd<\/sup> hour<\/strong> classes have included Phonetics, Phonemics, and now Grammar.  Apparently our grammar days didn\u2019t conclude at high-school graduation! Grammar class is actually pretty great though because it isn\u2019t just about English but rather about languages in general.  There are so many variations to how humans communicate! These principles and concepts will be very helpful and we\u2019ll certainly benefit from this class when it comes time to learn language and eventually translate Scripture into a tribal language.

3rd<\/sup> hour<\/strong> is dedicated to church-planting classes.  First we studied Animism, its effects, and how to deal with that when planting a church.  Then we studied an actual Animistic culture (The Yurok people of Northern California) to help prepare us for teaching Animistic people.  Now we are in a Curriculum Development class looking at how to prepare Bible lessons for tribal people.
