Pentateuch

Welcome to update number one of Basic Leadership Seminar. I safely arrived in Salem on Tuesday afternoon with my Dad, got some Little Caesars with him and said my goodbyes. Thursday was our first day of class. One thing that will make this school different than DTS is that I know almost everyone in the class pretty well already, so we are already all working together on assignments and having fun without the "I dont know you yet" awkwardness.

We have already had three assignments. The last one that we just finished was our first weekend of our Bible Read through. Ever other weekend we are going to spend in the prayer chapel listening/reading through sections of the King James Bible (only version we could find to speed up) non-stop marathon style. Today we read the Pentateuch (Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy) and it took about 9 hours. As crazy as it was, it was cool to read straight through the books of law since I've only picked my way around them in the past. I don't think I have read the entire bible either so it will be awesome to finally have that under my belt.

Here is a quick list of everyone on our team so that you can be praying for all of us:

Leaders: Casey Amos Luke and Julia

Students: Zak Nadia Ethan Me Travis Cara Leah Jaci Rachael Brittanie

Even though I know this school is going to be slightly crazy, I know that I am going to learn a lot and that God has a lot he wants to show me in this school. Its great to be back in Salem; thank you for prayers.

Here is a picture of Me and Aaron, a DTS student who did his TESOL (teaching english as a second language) here during my DTS. He's one awesome dude.
