Max Tyler November and December Year 2 Update
Grace, Mercy, and Peace to you, from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
November and December have been fantastic, the last semester has been the best one so far!
Classes were amazing, I have learned so much so far, both head knowledge and heart knowledge. Poetics was particularly phenomenal, I absolutely loved the Proverbs and Psalms. The final for the Psalms project was to create something inspired by a Psalm or a theme in the Psalms. My creation was a wooden structure with the word "Glory" burned into the pillars, and there is a piece of cedar (spruce) shattered and suspended in the middle. Attached below is a picture of the creation. It demonstrates the power of the voice of the Lord from Psalm 29.
Funny story, one of the missionaries here, Andy, was a missionary in Uganda for 14 years, and in the later years, he needed a plane. So he went searching for a plane, and ended up buying it from Dan Smith from Paradise Bound!!! What a small world we live in! After finding this out, Andy took me out flying the next day, the day before he sold it to someone else.
I did some duck hunting, well sort of, we left at 5:15 am, drove an hour and a half to the river, I got out of the truck into the crisp 15 degree winter air, "slipped on" my 15 degree un-insulated waders, and got in the boat. Immediately I discovered that the waders were not as warm as I thought they would be, and as we are driving to the hunting site, it was so cold that my mustache began to freeze, and my toes couldn't move anymore. I unfortunately relay this to the captain and once we were done dropping the decoys he brought me back to the truck, and I sat there for 5 hours while my friends got ducks. It was still fun though, and I got some super heavy duty snow-pants now for next time.
Christmas break is much quieter this year, there are only two of us staying in the dorms, and I work half the day so we never see each other.
Oh yeah, I got a Job! It's part-time and I am sort of remodeling/building someones house. He moved up here with his wife, six kids and mother-in-law, and couldn't afford to hire a full crew to finish the house, so he is paying me to do it instead. I was skeptical at first, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a go.
I greatly look forward to next semester, looking forward to whatever God has in store for me.
I miss you Bentheim, and I wish I could be there for Jonah and the Whales, as well as to hear Pastor Kris preach, but God has me up here fore a reason this Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all, and have a happy New Year!!
