Endorsement

Sorry for the delay in news on Endorsement.

Pr. Laurie Natwick, Assistant to the Bishop and Pr. Dale Pepelnjak, from Pelican Rapids were here to do the two interviews for our Synod. All the students from NW MN and their spouses went to dinner with the candidacy committee representatives on Tuesday night. My interview was at 7:15 am on Wednesday morning. After our interview they are recommending endorsement to the rest of the committee at the next meeting in December. So until then I am provisionally endorsed awaiting official endorsement. I'm so glad they were able to make the trip - we're a long drive for them and it was nice to have them on campus, even for a short time. Overall it was a very good experience!

Two bits of news

I am posting with two bits of news with the intention of posting more at a later date about both items.

First, I am headed to China January 5th - 19th! Each year students at Wartburg take one class during the month of January (called J Term). We're allowed to choose for ourselves. Last year I stayed nearby and took the Violence Against Women and Children class. This year I'm joining the trip to China led by our Lutheran Confessions professor Dr. Chung who is originally from South Korea and has many connections in China. We will be visiting Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. I'll tell you more about the trip as more information comes along.

Second my endorsement interview will be this week on Wednesday morning. Two members of the NW MN Candidacy Committee will be on campus Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon to conduct two interviews. Mine is at 7:15 am! I will let you know how it goes, please check out the info on candidacy from an earlier post for more info on endorsement.
