A brief update on the kids

I talked to both the guys and to Elsa on Easter (and IMed with Nikki), and thought I'd post a quick update for you all...

Ben is giving a rather large presentation in his Greek class today. It has to do with the 100+ usages of two different words for "shield" in the Iliad. Really. He asks for prayers that it would be convincing and well received. He also asks for prayer for his Master's Literature Comprehensive Tests, coming up on April 12th. If he manages to pass them and his class, he will, indeed, have his M.A. in Latin!

Elsa is enjoying her new job, and the weekends she now gets at home. She is almost at the end of the wedding thank you notes, so if you haven't yet received yours, it will be coming soon!

Tim spent last week cross-training because of some pain in his shin, and took the weekend off of running, while visiting Nikki's family in Ontario. His shin felt somewhat better on Monday, but he is battling a chest cold. Please pray for continued (or returned) health! He also began his bowling class this week, and has a couple of second-round job interviews coming up. Please keep the whole job search in your prayers, too!

Nikki is battling the remnants of pneumonia. Please pray for returned health and strength for her.

I am so blessed by these wonderful young adults. It is such a joy to see them making good decisions and living in a way that honors Christ. Way to go, kids!
