Life has been full-on for the past few months! We are now about a month and a half into this school year.

The latest news is that last weekend Jonny broke his ankle. He is pretty proud of his green cast. At first he had a lot of trouble with the crutches, but now he's getting really fast!

In the words of Jonny...."I went right, and my bike went left!"

Of course, he broke the ankle the same night Ruth and I had a big date planned. We got to spend the evening running him to the doctor. We decided that his punishment is that he isn't allowed to date until he is 37. He was OK with it.







Here is a picture of the Bible School classroom. There are 51 students this year. They range from age 17 to 72. It's quite a class! They are having a lot of fun learning God's word. Some of the nations represented are: India, UK, Kyrgyzstan, Thailand, Switzerland, Canada, US, Norway...I think a few more too.

My big challenge in the last month was teaching the Gospel of Luke. Here is a picture of me up in front teaching. It was a ton of work to really study that part of the Bible enough to feel confident in teaching it. Luke is an amazing book all about the Kingdom of God being for Everyone. It was amazing to teach, but for now I am glad to be done with it so I can focus more time on the individual students. I think my favorite part of teaching is the one-on-one stuff where I get to help the students work through things.







Jessika turned 10 last month! Here is a picture of Jessika's birthday party. She had a bunch of friends over for fun and games. She was also blessed with a horse ride from our friend, Kylann. So the day before her birthday she went riding and grooming horses...a dream come true for her!















Here are the kids at "Montana night"...a night when we welcome students to our state and culture. The cowboy in the middle is Finny. He is from India and here with his parents and sister for the year.

The last picture here is one of the new "Taiwan Room" on the base. The Hospitality Dept, that Ruth helps in, is able to house guests & speakers in rooms decorated in the themes of our five Target Nations (India, Thailand, Nepal, Ukraine & Taiwan). Taiwan just became a new target nation and Ruth had the privilege of helping to decorate the new room!

No seriously...this is the last picture. Ruth spends a huge amount of time taking care of guests and guestrooms here on the base. It's basically like running a small hotel. This pic is of her and her friend Tammy working hard. They are both a huge blessing to a lot of people as they visit the base.

Thanks for taking some time to share in our lives here in Montana!
