Leaving for... Southeast Asia!
Dear Friends,
It's Elizabeth C--- Your "Class Shepherd." Yes-- we still don't exactly know what that means.... BUT-- I am writing to let you know that I will be traveling to Indonesia for two weeks. In my absence, I've asked two other students, Lydia Suh & Heather Grantham, to look over the blog and reply as need be... I wish you all the best as you prepare to come to SFTS. I will be back in the States on August 26 and eager to help you for last minute preparations. If you have any emergency questions, I'll be checking my e-mail occasionally at elizyaef@hotmail.com. Blessings to you all!
peace,
Elizabeth

update
Well, no one has posted for a while, so I thought I would try to keep this going.
I am T-minus 2 weeks from moving, and am about 60% ready, I still have some work to do on the duplex I have been renting from my parents so we can sell it after I move out, I am discovering I have been part pack rat for the last ten years, and Have reserved my U-Haul for the thousand mile relocation. I have a wedding I will be going to this weekend (Saturday) for a couple of former counselors at the camp I used to work at (also where I heard my call), and I get to wake up at 4Am to drive home to be commissioned by my church. I had planned on becoming an inquirer last June (2008), but never had a chance to meet with the committee on Prep for Ministry until this week! The meeting went very well, and I should be an inquirer before I leave for San Anselmo. I hope everyone is doing well, and will be praying for safe travels for you all. I know Mike is a bike rider as well, if anyone else has a road bike, we should all get together and do some rides together, and if there are any mountain bikers out there too, I would love to hit up Mnt. Tam with you as well!

Penultimate
Penultimate is the word that the CEO taught me today. It means second to last. He told me this because today was my second to last day at Nationwide Medical.
This doesn't seem like the perfect forum for this, but I feel unbalanced right now and I just need to write it down where someone else can read it. This place is safe because some of my facebook friends work with me at Nationwide. I'm fairly certain that if one of my co workers was going to be attending SFTS as well, i would have heard about it by now.
As I neared the end of my time at Nationwide, I realized I could not leave without telling the owner and the CEO that my boss was a less than perfect manager. Actually, everyone in my department was counting on me to say something because they were to scared to do it themselves. My original plan was to write a letter and give it to them when I went back in two weeks to pick up my last pay stub.
But, they took me out to lunch today and asked me how I felt about how the department was doing. So, I told them about my boss. A month ago, I was really angry with her and decided that I was basically going to ensure that she got fired when I left. She's been pretty much leaving me alone lately, so my anger lost its edge, and when I was talking to them, I think I made her sound not so bad.
It's not that I really wanted to get her fired, but I almost feel like I let everyone down. The CEO and the owner still want me to write the letter. She might not get fired after all, but hopefully they'll talk to her and hopefully she'll change.
Why do I feel so weird?

The countdown continues
So, this is my last week at Nationwide Medical, Inc., the company where I have worked for over four and a half years. It's the longest that I've ever stayed at one job. Things haven't been so great there for the last year or so though, so Friday can't come soon enough. I will miss the people there for the most part, but I will not miss by boss.
Once I'm no longer working there, I'll finally have time to start getting all of my things together for the move and I'm going to try to write at least one essay per day from the inquirer forms. I'm still in school until August 12th, but that will be much easier to deal with once I'm no longer working.
I can't believe how fast this is all happening!!!!
P.S. I seem to be having trouble commenting on other posts....is there something special I need to be doing?

next up for introductions
Catching up on e-mails and other assorted tidbits I see the invitation to join this group. Cool. I will be one of the MDiv students beginning in September. For a while I had a first graders response to God's call - you know, cover your ears, close your eyes, bow your head, start saying nananananana I don't hear you - and wait for it to move on to someplace else. In November 2007 I took one of my daughters to TGIF at SFTS and kept the '72 Hours' literature. In April 2008 my wife and I went to the Discernment Retreat where God's call was very clear. My wife and I, along with our 10 year old granddaughter are moving into a townhouse next month. We look forward to seeing where God leads us. We look forward to making lots of new friends too!

Book Information for Hebrew
Hi guys,
Moa Imchen, your Hebrew professor for the Fall, has made his book list for Hebrew available..... Let me know if you have any questions... If you are like many people in my class, you might be thinking: HEBREW--HEBREW--- Don't you read & write that backwards??!??!?! For some, the language courses are so much fun and for others they can be quite challenging, but those of us who have already taken the classes are more than happy to share our bits of wisdom.....
peace,
Elizabeth

Last day of work.
So yesterday was my last day of Work. I worked at Scheels (a small sporting goods chain of 23 stores mostly in the midwest with 2 stores in Montana, and one in Nevada), our store is the largest sporting goods store in Montana and I was an Assistant Store Leader (assistant manager). It was a surreal day with everyone hugging me and bringing me cakes and other sweets, I really felt loved, and will miss everyone there. After only three years I really felt like I was home there. Now I am moving on to do what God has planned for me, so I had to leave the comfort zone of my familiar job.
I am spending the next week at the camp where I heard my calling, and will follow that up with a week prepping my parents duplex I have been renting to sell. I still have some work to do patching the drywall seems on a couple walls, painting, and then packing my stuff up for storage or the trip to San Anselmo. The following two weeks will be spent climbing in the Tetons, and camping in the back country of the Bob Marshal Wilderness and Glacier Park. I look forward to taking road trips with some of you to Yosemite this year (because it is so much more fun with a group of people!).
In just over a month we should all be settling in and getting ready for classes to start! I can't wait to meet everyone!
Photos of Housing
Hi all.... These first two photos are of the road along the way to Oxtoby apartments and Oxtoby (exterior view). These next photos are of Hunter & Landon halls... They look very much the same on the outside.... Here are some exterior photos: The first photo includes a room outline of Landon (although it is a bit difficult to see).... I hope that these helps to start envisioning housing....

Hi Everyone!
I guess I'll be the third one to introduce myself here...
My name is Charles Wei and I will be joining you all from Santa Rosa Valley, CA which is in Ventura County. I was called to the ministry many many years ago, I think when I was a freshman or sophomore in high school, but I fought it for a long time. At that point in my life, I pretty much hated school and could not imagine the amount of school I would have to go through to become a pastor, so I spent the better part of a decade trying to bargain my way out of it.
As we all know, in a fight between you and God, God will win, and I eventually resigned myself to this fact and went back to school. I'm about to finish my bachelors degree in business management at California Lutheran University and will have approximately a week and a half after I graduate to get everything together and move up to beautiful San Anselmo! I don't want to complain, because I've found that I actually enjoy school now, especially since I know what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. It's just funny sometimes the things that God makes us do.
For anyone that has not yet had a chance to visit the campus, let me just tell you that it is beautiful! I have spent two weekends there already and have gotten a chance to talk to some of the students and professors there. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and it still blows my mind when I think of how much I learned during those four short days. To think of how much I will learn in four years takes my breath away.
To wrap it up, I cannot express how excited I am to start this new chapter of my life! I can't wait to meet you all!
P.S. Beer and Theology ROCKS!!!!!!!!

New Information-- Posting to Blog & Financial Aid
Happy July to you all! I hope that the summer has been treating you well and that you are getting excited about the upcoming school year.
I want to bring your attention to a few things: First of all, we have a few new additions to our incoming class list; since I last wrote, two more students have enrolled to take courses this fall. Welcome to our blog!
Also, I want to encourage you all to write a brief paragraph about yourself on the blog, if you’d like… a way to introduce yourself before we all get to meet face-to-face. My class really enjoyed our pre-seminary “blog” correspondences--- If you bring it up to some of us, you’ll still hear a lot of uproarious laughter and story-telling. Feel free to make the blog your own.
* To actually post on the blog, you need to become an “author” to the blog… I just sent an invitation to you all to be an author on the blog (Sorry to those who got this twice—I tried to cut down) . You should receive that at your e-mail address and respond… Then you can write on the blog. Let me know if you have any questions…
Michelle Walker, Director of Housing & Financial Aid, has a few announcements she would like to share.
Maintenance is hard at work preparing campus housing for your arrival. If you have been assigned housing, don’t forget that there are two steps you need to take before you come to campus. If you haven’t already done so, send your one month equivalent deposit to Michelle Walker. And then, call her to make an appointment to move in. As of July 9, only two folks have made their move-in appointments. Don’t wait until the last minute. Call early to make sure Michelle is available when you get to town.
** In this vein, I have been able to take some photos of this work. I will upload photos shortly of some of the housing for you all to see (especially for those of you who have not yet been to campus, so you can imagine what the housing will be like).
Also, Michelle continues:
If you are planning to apply for a student loan, please be aware that Michelle is going on vacation on July 24th and will not be back in the office until August 11th. In order to insure that loan funds are disbursed to you by August 28th, she suggests that you get your loan application and related forms to her no later than July 17th. Don’t forget that you have to have completed the FAFSA (fafsa.ed.gov) in order for her to process a loan for you. Instructions and all other forms you will need to request a loan can be found at http://tinyurl.com/SFTSFA09.
In the meantime, keep your questions coming! What is San Anselmo like? What kind of information would you like about the seminary & town?!
Yours faithfully,
Elizabeth (Class Shepherd)

Another Hi!
How is everyone doing? I hope that your summer vacations are treating you well.... I look forward to reading more introductions, as you all have time! Things are more quiet here around the seminary community, but there is already chatter in the air about upcoming events and you all: the new arriving class! Please feel free to forward any questions for me about classes and other logistics. I look forward to being a companion along the way.... Take care! ~ Elizabeth

Greetings from Kaye!
Hi!
I'm Kaye and live in Benicia with my husband, about 45 minutes away from SFTS. I am newly retired, so will probably be one of the older folk to join the class! I've been Presbyterian as far back as I can remember and have felt a tug to go to seminary at least two other times in my life-back when I was finishing high school and once again when my children were small. This third time is the charm! In between, I've been active in my church, being a founding member, and have helped guide it through a number of unique, to say the least, experiences while on the Session. As a math teacher for the last 39 years in an inner city school situation, I've had a lot of opportunities to grow my faith. I have a curiosity-I would love to attempt to read the Bible in it's original languages, especially after having seen the Dead Sea scrolls! What is my ultimate goal? Only God knows!! :) I have two great children (young adults, really!) and a wonderful daughter in law. I love music, photography, traveling and being outdoors. This is the first blog I've ever written and doesn't really tell much about me, does it? We'll just have to meet in person!

Greetings From Ryan Schlimgen! :)
Hello there! My name is Ryan Schlimgen, and I will be coming to SFTS from my home town of Great Falls, MT. I have my Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Montana, and MBA in Human Resource management from Colorado Tech.
My call to ministry started very small when I returned to Great Falls from Missoula, and started volunteering with my churches youth group. Shortly after dropping from the USMC Officer Candidate School (I realized the reality of conscientious objection) I chaperoned a retreat at the camp I attended as a kid, and by that Summer I was counseling at the camp. During my two years at the camp I started contemplating ministry, and realized my calling. As for right now, I am not sure exactly what path I will be taking with my MDiv (I know God will guide me during seminary), but my personal preferences would be to return to the North West and Pastor in a church, or re enter the military as a non combatant in the Naval Chaplain Corps. Either way I know I want to work with the churches youth. I am very close to my immediate and extended family. My parents are both from Montana, and I have three siblings: Veta (34), Victor (32), and Maggie (15).
As far as hobbies, I love and actively participate in just about anything that can be done outdoors. My favorites are: Rock climbing, Mountain and Road biking, Mountaineering, Snowboarding, Photography, etc... I can't wait to meet all of you and grow in Christ together!

Welcome Incoming Class 2009
Welcome.... to SFTS. I hope that your journey here will be truly precious, a time to grow in your calling and the unique way your gifts can be used in the church, society, and beyond!
My name is Elizabeth Campbell, and I will be your class shepherd. Someone coined this phrase awhile back, and I can't even say exactly how it came about, but I like it. This is how I understand it: I, among many others, will help guide you in your transition to SFTS. I am here to help you with questions you have as you get ready to begin this adventure, and if I don't know the answer (which will likely happen a lot), I will usher you to those who can get you the information you need. But beyond just getting information about SFTS, this blog is for YOU ALL, your incoming class: A place where you can begin to get to know each other before coming to campus this Fall.
Please feel free to make this blog your own! I want to encourage you all to introduce yourselves here, so that we can begin to get acquainted. I will be updating this blog shortly with introductions about campus, campus life, courses, and more!
More soon,
Faithfully,
Elizabeth

Please feel free to make this blog your own! I want to encourage you all to introduce yourselves here, so that we can begin to get acquainted. I will be updating this blog shortly with introductions about campus, campus life, courses, and more!
More soon,
Faithfully,
Elizabeth
