Home for Christmas

Angie is home for Christmas...thank you Jesus! She was beat when she arrived at 2:06am this morning, instead of 11:06 - 3 hour delay. But from the stories that we were hearing it could have been worse. Thank you all for your prayers for her flight - it went really well.

For the time that she is here with us I will not be writing on this blog. I will post once she is in Mt. Zion again. Thank you all for following. Thank you for your prayers that have made this first semester possible - to God be the glory!

Prayer Request

So the week begins for Angie with all the finals and the papers that are due. This morning she had a play that a group of the students put together for their Children's Evangelism Class - they are to put a play/skit together as if they would be sharing it with children. She asked for prayer for so much "stuff" she has to memorize, starting with this play and for Thursday she has to memorize, I believe she said twenty Scriptures - just pray for her mind to retain and memorize tons of information, and of course to be able to recall the information to take the tests. Also, pray for favorable weather when all the students will be traveling and for safety in their trips home...thank you.

Counting the days...I mentioned to Angie, "Hey, Angie next week you will be home." She responded, "No, Mom, I will be home in five days." - so who is counting days:)

Finals!!!

Angie is doing well, she is counting the days until she gets to come home. It has been really cold over in Pennsylvania, she has actually seen it snow a couple of time - she really likes it. You can hear in her voice the exhaustion of these last few month - there is truly something to be said for furloughs. Next week will be semester finals...she is dreading next week. On one hand she is counting the days to come home, but on the other hand she knows that before the homecoming there is finals. Please pray for clarity of mind and that the LORD bring to remembrance all the material that has been poured into her mind.

Thanksgiving for Angie

Tuesday (11/25) – The whole school had a wonderful traditional thanksgiving meal with all the fixings. Afterward they had a wonderful time of fellowship and playing board games.

Wednesday (11/26) – everyone that was leaving the campus has left and it is pretty lonely around Mt. Zion. Those left behind also got pretty homesick. In the afternoon those left behind had a baking party. Angie said it was pretty fun.

Thursday (11/27) – Angie called while we were all cooking and she got to speak with several members of the family. We got to talk to her for 1 HOUR – yeah! She did get chocked up, but decided to not focus on the fact that she wasn’t here, but that she will be coming home soon. In the evening the students got to go to a staff member’s home to spend Thanksgiving with them and they got to eat all that they had baked the day before…yummy!

Friday (11/28) – Shopping!!! (Well, actually, window shopping:)

Saturday (11/29) – got to speak with Angie for an hour, AGAIN!!! She had bought herself a mug and some hot-cocoa-packets and would be enjoying a mug of hot cocoa – yummy!!! She said she was actually enjoying having this down time and having her room to herself – he! he!
