New Semester Around the Corner!

The winter break is drawing to a close and Monday we're starting up our fourth semester here at the New Tribes Missionary Training Center! Thank you for praying for us regarding the break! It's been a good and restful break with time spent visiting Cameron's family in both Union and Springfield Missouri and also Louisiana. All those travels were jammed into twelve days altogether. The other eighteen days were spent here at home. Intermixed with working at Taco Bell we saw STAR WARS, did a lot of cleaning, reorganizing, drawing up new budget sheets for the new year, wood burning, knitting, drawing, playing games, decorating cookies, going to Branson and going through the wax museum and hall of mirrors and seeing the Dixie Stampede ,and just enjoying some quiet days together. Truly, this has been the most restful break we've ever had and we feel refreshed and ready to begin this next semester.

Want to see what our upcoming classes will be? We've listed them out below:
Phonetics 2
Mature Church
Ministry Partnership Development 2
Folk Religions [choice of Folk Catholicism, Folk Islam or Folk Buddhism]
Christian Life 2
Missionary Tech
Church Planting Wrap-Up
Practical Skills & Camping
We'll finish all these classes by April 4th and then immediately begin the Linguistics course! If you remember the post we wrote in June, we took some classes at the end of last Spring early so that we would be able to start Ling before graduation. This is why there's a gap between the last day of our fourth semester and graduation. While our graduation ceremony is April 22nd, Linguistics will continue until June 10th and then will begin again July 27th and conclude December 16th. Upon which time we will pack up and head down to Florida to begin our Partnership Development with the desire to head over to Asia Pacific in summer of 2017 but we'll see what the Lord has in store!

We're excited to begin this new year and new semester afresh! Thank you all for your support and prayers.

United in Christ,

Caitlin and Cameron
