On Wednesdays the brothers only have the class right before lunch so us girls get an extra hour and a half for a free study period! Then after lunch we have cleaning of our room on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So this has been a nice break today.😜

We studied the words index and glossary in the back of the revised new world translation today. Did you know at the end of the words index there is a section on the numbers in the Bible? I never noticed it before!

I have a challenging assignment for class tomorrow. Lots of prayer!!

hi folks!

So I feel like we are in a different time dimension. We (the class) feel like we have lived thru weeks together! And our brains feel like it too.😣 It is fansinating. We have 4 units a day to prepare for. Using the Insight books and the Scriptures inspired book a lot. Some of the classes, I feel like a stupid head, others are amazing. I love the lessons on Godly devotion and godly fear. We have been studying the way the Bible has been translated and features of our amazing New World translation. Check out the foot note in the big old reference bible at Joshua 13:5. 😄You can use the jw library. I thought it was interesting to learn about the Gebalites.  That foot note is not in the revised gray bible.

Love you all!❤️🦋

Wow, busy day. Went to our congregation this morning. It was a 9:30am meeting in central Daytona. They were so nice and welcoming! We drive with the other couple assigned there. A young couple in there 30’s from Ohio that are 6th generation Witnesses! They were at Warwick for over a year…I can’t remember how long all these couples have spent at Warwick.  Then we spent the afternoon studying and visiting in our study/library for our Class. It’s at the end of our hallway. There are certain ones that just migrate there and hang out and tell stories. Several couples just stay in there rooms more and we rarely see them. “Teachers pets” who will know all the answers probably.😜

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives….🙄 I believe that’s true for everyone. Not profound.

love to all and good night.🦋

Hello family! Just got back to our room after a cookout here with our class. The grills on the property are everywhere and so pristine clean! They provide all the grilling utensils and paper products. It was a hot muggy and full of bugs Florida evening! But the fellowship was grand. 😆

back to studying! 🦋

The area around the a facility is beautiful! We take walks on the trails. A city trail goes right thru the property. It goes down to the intercostal waters where there is a lot of nature! Although crazy people on vacation feed the squirrels and they are creepy and tame and come up and seem to beg for food! But then a amazing white hawk came down and landed so close above us and loudly made himself known and the squirrels scattered! Thank you Mr. Hawk.🤗

 

 

Saw Tammy at lunch today! This is a sister Bryan’s mom aided into the truth when we all lived in Deltona Florida. She works outside on the grounds.

Long day, so tired…..from laughing and smiling so much!!!🤣😁 Our instructors are Ed Mier and Mike Walker. Mike Walker substituted c.o. for Br Adams in West Ashley along time ago and stayed at your house, Jon & Laura! Remember him?

We toured the whole place today. Ran into some old friends. Got set up with technology. Everyone at this facility has made us feel very loved.

There is so much to say!! But we are one of the oldest in the group. Two brothers are slightly older than Bry and I’m pretty sure I am the oldest sister. One other couple has 2 kids, and 2 grandkids, so they were calling him “Grandpa”. He’s 2 months older than Bryan.😜 3 single sisters and one single brother. 2 couples are in sign language and several others are in various language groups and congregations. One single sister lives in Haiti and works with translators there. And the baby of the class is a single sister from Hawaii in the native Hawaiian group. She is adorable!! And there is a young couple that serve in the Russian congregation in NYC!! She is from Russia…now I forgot where because my brain is fried and I am so tired. So I am signing off for now. So very happy to be here.🦋

Love you all

Up early thinking about things. Last night we meet a lot from our class.  Beautiful, amazing couples from Kansas, Texas, Ohio, a lot that have served at Warwick. So ya know, my insecurities start to come out… what am I doing here?! I can’t even spit out correct English half the time!😩 Then in my prayers Jehovah helped me remember Sarah in the new Bible story book and her face when she hears Jehovah’s new assignment for her. I read Genesis 18:12…and verse 14 calmed me down..”Is anything too extraordinary for Jehovah?” If Jesus and Jehovah have asked us to come here, they know we can do it! ( at least I’m not having a baby in my old age!😜)

time to get busy! Love you all!
