“Gary is in the classroom again!”
After a year of furlough, teaching online, and writing, Gary is back where he feels most at home, in the classroom. This term he is offering Ruth & Esther face-to-face! Some students study it in the Spanish Bible, while three advanced students are studying the books in Hebrew and Greek.
He is still working on his notes on 1-2 Timothy for Wycliffe Associates. 1 Timothy should be done in a few weeks; plus, he just finished an article on the Theology of Romans for a collection in Spanish.
ESEPA graduation is tonight, and three of Gary’s long-term students are finally graduating with their degrees, Masters in Biblical Exegesis.
Sammy starts 5th grade next week!
The teachers went out on strike in September, so he has been at home for many months. The strike was settle, we’re happy to report!
Karen is working away on her new project, with local people doing research, and Karen heading to Colorado in a few days for a conference.
Vikky and Chris are counting down to their June wedding!

Many blessings to you! Gary and Karen Shogren
