Quick Update

Wow, it's been a busy month. Our friends Jeff & April Rotunda, Pastor Jim & Susi Pegan, & Ana Post came all the way from NY to visit us. It was a great time and we were so happy to see them.

On a sad note, Marshall's grandfather passed away and we were not able to make it back to N.Y. for the funeral.

We are through with our first quarter & had our first Bible exam. I think it went well for us, but we haven't gotten our results back yet. We will also have our first evaluation soon.

We were blessed to spend Thanksgiving with family in Waynesville, N.C. It was a first for us to spend Thanksgiving with my North Carolina family, so it was a special time.
Soon we will be traveling back north to visit with friends and family in N.Y. and Ohio. Our plans are to arrive in N.Y. on Dec. 20th and spend Christmas there and then travel to Ohio for a few days before we head back to TMM.

I uploaded a lot of new pictures be sure to click on the OUR PICTURES link and check them out.

Bush Driving

Last week we had bush driving which was a fun experience. Dan took the men out one day, then it was the ladies turn. As Dan was taking us out to the path we were to drive on, us girls were thinking we were already on the path, which we thought was quite rough. Little did we know what was ahead. There were ditches down the middle of the path and rocks and boulders. And we each were to take a turn driving this path. We all survived and it turned out to be a lot of fun. The next day, the guys had to take this poor old Blazer out and get it stuck. The first attempt at getting it unstuck was too easy for them, so they decided it would be better to just drive it off the road. I posted a few pictures, which don't do the real thing justice. The first picture is of the first time they got it stuck.
Dan ( our teacher ) was used as traction :)

The guys had to take the truck out and get it stuck. The first attempt wasn't a big enough challenge, so they drove it off the road.
Believe it or not, it didn't take them that long to get it out.

These are the brave fools :) that drove it off the road.
