Newsletters!! :)

My newsletters have finally come back from the copy place! :) I'm a little sad, because they're a little darker than I would have liked, but they'll accomplish their purpose :)
This is how they start:

Hello Friends!

That's the important part. I wanted you to see the picture... because that's really the only part that didn't turn out so good. :)

Anyway, today is the last lecture day! :(
It's been so good, I don't want it to be over yet! But today was the best day, by far! We had my favorite teacher!!! Her name is Heather, and she's just a really energetic speaker, and she knows a lot about historic Jewish culture.
And!!!
This afternoon, the one and only Joel will be teaching! Because his school is all about the Bible, and teaching. So he will be coming to teach my school :)

It's gonna be good! 
And to top it all off, we're having a Dwell night (worship service) tonight!
Hope you're having as wonderful of a day as I am! :)

So close!

So close to the end of my School of Evangelism! It's so crazy... I don't feel like I've been here for very long, but at the same time, I feel like I've been here forever. But definitely not long enough to almost be done!

So many thoughts...
It'll be nice to be home.
I will miss all of my incredible friends.
I'm excited to go back to college.
I would love to stay here and learn some more!
I'm excited to play on Kuyper's volleyball team.
I have had so much fun playing sand volleyball and soccer here every Saturday....
I really do miss my family!!!

It's going to be really good to be home, but I have learned so much from these amazing people! I really have appreciated the deep friendships and the openness and honesty we've all shared. It's been awesome. Wouldn't trade it for the world. :)

Anyway, this is the last week of lecture. Next Monday we will be starting to prepare for SST's (the high school summer "camp" programs..... they are basically very mini-DTS's (the first school I went through: Discipleship Training School) with a week of lecture and a week of outreach). I'm so excited!! :)
Please be praying that God will speak to students to come this summer and step out in faith to raise the support to be here this summer. He wants to change their lives! :)

Oh! I got a really awesome package from my parents! :)
I'll post pictures as soon as I can! :)
