Back in Classes

I joined Wycliffe in May, but then I resigned in June because I’m really not sure what I want to do. What I learned at Training Camp in June is that I really like Wycliffe and everything that they are involved in. I want to be involved in Wycliffe in the future when I have more direction. I will still be able to rejoin Wycliffe and I will not have to go to Training Camp again. They are willing to let me just pick up where I left off. I’m praying for direction either toward a place or a field of work.

Chelsea, the girl who I was thinking of being partners with is now planning on finishing one more semester here (she will be my roommate) and then going to Central Asia where she has already been. I’m really excited for her because she’s going to have a great impact there.

Right now I’m taking a class called Language & Society which is pretty interesting. It is about attitudes that people have toward various languages, about how language use can change, about how language forms a person’s identity and other such topics. In a couple weeks I’ll start another class where I will learn how to learn a language and then I will take a class about analyzing the grammar of that language. After the semester is done in December I have no idea what I will do. Please pray for that with me.
