Doctor appointments

I had a doctor's appointment this week.
However this photo is not from that appointment.

The pins are out of my toes. However there is still a lot of swelling in my toes and ankles. The doctor, not Josiah, said there is nothing to be concerned about now.

With the diabetes, he was a little nervous about infection but it has not been a problem.

Krista's pregnancy is going well. She is experiencing tiredness which is probably from the pregnancy and dorm life.

Joel finished soccer season. He improved so much during the season. We think taking part in Big Blue soccer camp here @ BBC helped with that. He is also doing great in first grade. One of his school friends has started coming to AWANA at Heritage.

Josiah is enjoying Cubbies and once a week preschool @ BBC.

He loves washing dishes, singing and "teaching" the baby how to do things.

A Lesson from the Living Room Couch

Well this semester has been really busy. Good but busy.
Classes. Mission. and other things.
Actually our time here @ BBC&S has been very busy.

Sitting on the couch, recovering from surgery has forced me to slow down a little bit.

"Never get so busy doing the work of the kingdom that you forget who the King is."
Anonymous.

A temporarily slowed down life, this quote and much more have me thinking about our time @ BBC&S.
I have been very thankful for my experience here.
Especially the fact that the professors at the seminary stress the importance of a personal relationship along with a knowledge of the Bible.
I have also loved being able to take the things I have been learning in classes and applying them @ the Scranton Rescue Mission.

Health Update from the Rodgers family

This Tuesday Krista and I were able to hear the heartbeat of our baby.
The due date is May 7th, graduation day here @ BBC.

The boys are very excited to have a younger brother or sister.

Also, on Friday I am scheduled to have surgery on my left foot.
- I have a cyst on my ankle that needs to be removed.
- Two of my toes are going to be straigntened out.

Josiah Preaching

This is a video of Josiah talking with
some of the girls in the middle floor lounge.

All is quiet in Northeastern PA

Vibbard Hall has been quite since yesterday @ 2:00 pm.

Krista and the women from Vibbard have gone camping.
From Krista phone report this morning, things have been going well.
It was very strange to have a quiet dorm on a Saturday night during the school year.

Camping Trip

Krista and 43 of the women from Vibbard dorm are camping today (Saturday, 09.12) and tomorrow @ Rock Mountain Bible Camp.

Please pray for the weather, safety and especially for the women as they spend time building relationships with each other during this time.
