Beaches are the Best

We were enjoying the pool that our landlord left behind, but put it away when the weather started to cool. The pit that had been created by the pool filled with water during the next several days of rain.
Now, it's hot again. We could get out the pool again in hopes that it stays hot for a few more weeks. But, we're from Michigan, where we never had a pool, but always had a beach.

So, this puddle of water, with a thick clay like bottom is just right for splashing in, cooling off, and making mud pies.

Orientation at CTSFW Friday Sept. 4, 2009

Here is a photo of just a small section of the beautiful campus here in Fort Wayne. In the background is the chapel, where the future pastors of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod will be gathering to fellowship and worship together.

Don is looking forward to much time spent here.





While Don was sitting in seminars and getting an
information overload...

Corinne and the kids played at the seminary playscape.
This Bible themed playground includes Daniels Den, Mount Sinai, and Noah's Ark.







There were a lot of vendors at the orientation, and many extra-curricular activities to sign up for.
There's the student choir, a basketball team, volunteer hours, and much more.

We don't have the time or energy to be part of everything, but Don did find a few things to sign up for.

So, it won't be all about the GREEK!



Don is checking out the bookstore and making a list. There are many required materials, but some really good-looking optional ones too.

Noah is helping him decide.









There is still much to do as classes are beginning on Tuesday, but we are getting settled here. We are extremely grateful for all the support that has come from our friends, family and brothers and sisters in Christ.
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of an anonymous donor who paid the garage for the repairs on our vehicle so that we once again have transportation.

We invite you to use the buttons on this website to make a one time donation, or to sign up to make a small monthly donation (just $10) each month.
