Finals are over!

We survived finals! I probably should explain that we do the block/term system here so that’s why we are having finals while everyone back in Provo is having midterms. Now that the madness is over, I can see that it’s really smart of them to frontload the semester with a ton of classes (11 credit hours for a term—that’s a lot!) because now for the second term we only have two classes, New Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies. So after many hours of studying and exercising (to keep me sane), I was able to score pretty well on my tests—thankfully all that hard work paid off! You could definitely feel the mood of the whole center lighten as we finished our last test.

We had a fun weekend to celebrate before we headed off the Jordan that even included a Halloween party! I was a sister missionary with my dear friend McKenzi Davis. Pretty soon that “costume” will become my outfit for the next 18 months!

It was his idea...

Next stop: Jordan!
