oh wow! Its been awhile since I have updated about what going on here at the mission. Recently most of the time spent in the day is on preparing for the first Bible test. In a nut shell the test is on the covenants(abrahamic, mosaic, new etc.) and Methods of Interpretation(face value, near and far prophecy, etc). So that is where most of my time has been today. It is very helpful to organize my thoughts and notes through the last almost 3 months of 5 days a week 1 1/2 hours of Bible class-we go through quite a bit of material in that time! Part of me is scared but I am excited to see on paper what I have learned!
On Friday we pored 7 yards of concrete and I had the chance to screed and finish a 8' by 4' slab. Growing up around concrete I did some but it was fun to be able to work on a slab from start to finish that Tyler said, "when people go by they will know Joel did either a good or not so good job." :)
I am looking forward to coming back to PA to give thanks for all the good things God has given me! Thank you so much for your prayers!
