Current Prayer Requests (of a publicly-shareable nature):

• I'm beginning to teach an over-the-internet beginning class on biblical Hebrew.  You could pray that I'd prepare well & teach effectively.  It's pretty basic stuff, but of course requires that I "get on top of it" -- i.e., get thoroughly familiar with the (canned) material for each week.  I have 2 classes on Sunday nights (7pm and 8pm);  there's another class Tuesday nights 8pm, but that is about the only timeslot during the week that I cannot teach (due to a Bible study that I am required to attend at my upcoming apartment building (I don't move there until Dec. 1, however).  Classes begin Sunday, November 18.
• I feel like I'm advancing pretty well in German spraching.  But there again, I often ask myself why I really came here.  Sometimes, I'm not at all sure.

Long-standing stuff:

• The dollar has continued its fall ... pray for the finances of all of the (US) missionaries you know -- esp. in Europe, where the euro currency (the 'Ro) is very strong. It has fallen rather dramatically over the last 3 years or so. That means that everything (from groceries to rent to taxes) costs more. (I'm ok, as God continues to provide abundantly for me. But I'm thinking more of all the US missionaries around the world, whose support base is eroding away underneath them.)

Thanks for your support!
