Wednesday night consisted of two things. Movie night and broom hockey. Yes, movies are against our Joshua covenant. The staff decided to let us watch a film titled Denial. We all got cozy and cuddled up on the couches in the great room and watched the movie. It was a sweet time and moving film. Shortly after the movie, we moved over to broom hockey. Broom-hockey is a staple of Hume Lake Winters! Having never

This week has been crazy one but a good one. As the year progresses a lot of us students have come to a ditch of tiredness, but with only 4 weeks till Israel we are all persevering. On Tuesday of this week, the 5th, we were all given our summer assignments for work. Along with this came excitement and anticipation to start work this summer. We jumped back into our regular schedule after our trip

This past week has mostly just been re-adjusting back into the life of Joshua. We came home from LA on Saturday and have just been getting into the grind of the month of March, whether that is working on Philippians, our two group exams, our study guides, taxes, presentations, or laundry. On Monday we had our regular sabbath, and then Bob’s class in which he talked about public speaking, a new unit we are going

Hey guys, it’s Kenzie! Today was our last day in LA. We started off by heading to IHOP. It was a great meal: pancakes, eggs, bacon/sausage, hash browns, and of course coffee. After this we went to the Museum of Tolerance. For some of us, this was the first time, but others we’ve been there before. This was the second time I’ve been there, but something happened that was a surprise to us all. We

Today was super fun! We went to the LA Food Bank in the morning and got to be a small part of the food distribution process there. Our whole class was able to be part of sorting through and labeling food from a big conveyer belt and then placing it on pallets to go out to mission organizations like the Dream Center.

Hello all you Joshua blog readers! It’s Hannah writing this day’s entry and I have loads to tell you. So I woke up bright and early at 430 am.

Some of us were even able to share the
