Photos of CSBS Staff 2013


Taking photos with this year's staff was a lot of fun.  
Standing (from left to right): Anne, Geoff, Emily, Ylva, and Eva.  
Sitting (from left to right): Jillian, Nigel, Megan, and Patrick.

So blessed to be working with an AMAZING staff!  
Even if we are slightly awkward and a bit creepy.
I don't know what's happening.
Ylva's face says it all.

Back to Life, Back to Reality

Outreach in the Caribbean was amazing!
Time visiting my family and friends in Washington was wonderful.
The UofN Workshop in San Antonio Del Mar, Mexico was also wonderful.

Now, it is time for the CSBS (Chronological School of Biblical Studies) to start TOMORROW!

Last year was pretty crazy.
We had over 20 students and lost 2 staff due to visa difficulties less than a quarter into the school.
But, we survived and a lot of awesome stuff came out of that school.  For a big chunk of the school, we had only 5 staff.

This CSBS, 4 of the students from last year are joining us as staff!  Which means we have 9 staff in total AND we have a smaller class this year - only 10 students.
Which means more rest for the weary.
And surprisingly, I still feel weary.  I've had time to rest and recuperate in Washington.  But I still feel tired.  So, I'm grateful that we will have a slightly lighter workload this year, even if it means not as many students.  God knows.

I'll try to get back in the habit of blogging now that the school is up and running.
For now, it's good to be back.
