This past Monday the 12th, we had PIZZA for lunch at OTC that was provided by a local church. Usually the menu ranges anywhere from pizza to mom’s “homemade cooking”. No matter what’s on the menu though, the students love to come and fellowship. We had 75 which is 12 more than last week and 20 more than the first week of the semester. Here are some pictures from this past lunch:

The Sunday study group is still in full swing, and thanks to some students from India, (and especially Srikant!)Billy won the “Hottest Chili” award at our church’s annual Chili Cook-off this past Sunday evening. (This makes two in a row.) As an award he received a fireman’s hat, and a trophy that had been sitting in the church office for quite a few years. It’s from 1980 and is to someone named “Brian”. It was a fun time for all. Below are some pictures of the study group:


Pictures below are of some of the students involved in the Sunday night group:



Billy will be traveling to Georgia this Friday for a week; he will be speaking to groups about the work he does with the colleges.

We also enjoyed a concert by Chris’ High School band this past week; our international student from Jamaica went with us, as well as our daughter and granddaughter. I think she enjoyed sitting on her grandpa’s lap and eating goldfish crackers more than listening to the music though. Here is her Valentine’s Day picture her mom took:

Isn't she a cutie??

Gina’s Aunt and cousin are visiting here from Florida this week; and although it was rather cold when they got here, the weather this week is warming up nicely and almost feels like Spring.
