Morley Update 2010 #28

Everyone -

This update is a day late because yesterday we started our 9 day INTENSIVE Greek class. After spending the morning (9:00 to 12:30) in class, Kent and I took a 1/2 hour lunch break before starting on homework. We worked until 6pm when we took another 1/2 hour dinner break before continuing with homework until 9:00pm. Kent still had to get up early and finish a little this morning. Today we had class again from 9:00-12:30 and ate a snack while we worked on homework. I finished at 5:30 and Kent is still at it at 6:00. At the end of this we will either be speaking Greek or dead - I'm not sure which!

In defense of our lovely teacher she is giving up vacation time from teaching school to volunteer her time with us for these two weeks. We have asked her to pile on the homework because we want to get as much finished in this time as we can. There are five of us in the class. Some of us naively thought that we could still participate in some ministry besides class but it is quickly becoming apparent that this will not be the case. Our team leader is in full support of this and we thank our team mates who are working a bit shorthanded these two weeks in order to give us this chance.

We continue to have ministry outside the ARC. We have had a beach day, a women and children's outreach, a feeding with gospel presentation, and a men's outreach. We are having two Farsi women's Bible studies, plus home visits and park outreaches. The renovations on the ARC are coming along but we will see how soon we are able to use the building again. I will close because my brain is very tired and I need to fix us something for dinner. We would appreciate your prayers over the next couple of weeks - our old brains need all the help we can get!
