End of Semester 3

I had finals this week - so that means that I have reached the end of another semester. I'm still working part time for Noble Systems (the company I worked for in GA). I am able to work about 20 hours a week so that is good. They ARE a little slow about paying me sometimes so there are times when money is VERY short, but it usually catches up.

Work Situation
Andrea and I are still praying/debating/discussing what we are going to do about her staying home once (hopefully sooner) the new Bragg baby is born. I had applied to work at UPS part time (keeping my part time work with Noble) because they give benefits to part time employees. I don't get benefits from Noble and Andrea is basically working now only for the insurance. The bad news is that I found out that UPS is only hiring seasonal workers until Jan 1st - they don't give benefits to seasonal employees. So we are looking for other options. I may end up going back to UPS in January but we will see.

The Nepali Group
The Nepali group hasn't really gotten off the ground yet. Two of the guys that would be in the group are in school as well and they have been going through the same things I have with end of the semester fun stuff. We are hoping to get that started next week and I will be leading the group through a study on the birth of Christ. They don't really know much about Christmas other than what they get from American culture (not good). I am really excited about this and hope we actually start meeting together for Bible study next week.


Next Semester
I'm scheduled for 12 hours next semester and 3 hours for a class in January. In January I'm taking "The History of Missions." Here are the classes I'm taking in the Spring:
Introduction to New Testament II
Introduction to Church History II
Christian Apologetics in Contemporary Ministry
Personal Evangelism

Keep praying for us as it is hard sometimes. We get homesick and down when we start worrying about the future (our house, student loans, our bills). We know that God is in control and He will work everything out that needs to be worked out. We believe him - we doubt ourselves sometimes but we know the God that we serve is able to do anything!
