Term 4

Hello all, I hope this post finds you well. :-)

Life here is going quite well! Term 4 has begun, and classes are in full swing again. I was originally going to post my grades from last term, I seem to have misplaced my transcript. I can say however, that I made straight A's, so I was very happy with what my efforts paid off with.

Classes this term are going well also. The classes are:

M/W: 1 Corinthians
Church History

T/T: Philippians/Thessalonians
Biblical Theology of Missions

Fri: Letters of John

Mon-Thur: Evangelistic Preaching Lab

So that's the schedule for this term. The load is thankfully a bit lighter than last term, so that helps make it a bit easier. I suppose this would be a good time to talk about our summer plans.

In early June we will be in Katy, TX for our niece Alex's high school graduation. We will probably be there somewhere in the neighborhood of a week. In probably the middle or end of June we will be in the Sacramento, CA area for two weeks. There we will be helping to promote and put on a VBS with the church there. We also plan on being in Bonham, TX at some point in the summer but we haven't figured out when yet.

We are planning to spend about 1/2 of the summer here in Lubbock. During this time I plan on doing personal evangelism in the community and helping out the Central church of Christ here with their promotion drives. The Central church of Christ is a mission church in one of the poorest parts of Lubbock, and as a new church they are making strong pushes to evangelize the community around them. I also plan to devote a large amount of time to personal study, spiritual growth, and spiritual disciplines so that I can be as prepared as possible for what we are going into. There are also some preaching and serving opportunities at various nursing homes and churches that I plan to help out and be involved in. My plans also involve visiting the sick and shut-ins, helping out at the children's home, and serving in any other areas that I can be of use in.

So that's what is going on at the moment. If you have any questions then please let me know. I hope you have a wonderful day and that you are blessed more and more. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

In Him,
Jared, Danielle, and Haden
