Back to Work

Hello everybody, it's been a while since spring break and it was great to see you all! I've been back at the Bible College for a couple weeks now and right back into the routine of studying hard! I actually have an exam in Church History tonight but I feel very prepared and that I've retained a lot from my studying. So far my favorite man that I've read about in my reading is William Tyndale, what an awesome man of faith!

William Tyndale translated portions of the Old and New Testaments into the english language so that the common people would have access to the Scriptures not just the priests. He was quoted telling a priest once, "I will make so that a farm boy behind the plow can know the Scriptures better than the Pope!" Later he was martyred by being burned at the stake. His last words were, "God open the King of England's eyes!"

I've also been blessed to have my girlfriend Brandi visiting here this week to check out the campus to see if she would like to attend here next semester (Thank you Richie and Terri!!!). As you can tell from the picture above we took the opportunity while she was here to go to the beach and spend some time just looking at God's wonderful creation! The drive there is also just beautiful and green!

Although we did have a great time Brandi did sit in on many classes including my own :) She was very blessed to experience student life here at Calvary Chapel Bible College. Her favorite class was Isaiah :)

I hope all of you are doing well and hope to hear from you all soon!

God bless

Zak

Ya so it was a major blessing to be able and visit the school! I had a great time in class and a great time well spent with you ZaK!This school is preparing you so well and I see that in your studies and classes. I am so amazingly blessed to have such a Godly man in my life! You have been blessed with such an amazing brain and capacity to remember every detail about your classes and studies. It was really attractive to me to see how many great notes you took in class notes as well as in your personal Bible reading and studying! I want you to know I will cherish the time we had together this week! I loved our walks around the lake and around campus. I look forward to our time here together next semester and our Growth as a christian couple! I feel a great sense of devotion here and it is an amazing atmosphere to worship God in his glorious creation and beauty! I am excited for US! Im excited for our Growth! I am so proud of you and your grades! You have been the best thing for me Besides Jesus! I love you so very much!

Love, Brandi

Hey those are some gorgeous pictures! I exspecially like the one of us! I had an amazing time there with you. I know that God is leading me there to Murrieta to be with you at that great school! I know this becasue I vistied Frontier and It is a great School But I did not retain anything from the classes I took there. But that is a personal learning thing. I know it is a great school for others. But I was reassured in so many ways of how God is leading me to Calvary chapel Bible college. One is that I retained everything I learned in the classes I visisted except for that first class. And that was just because of teacher preferences. But second that I have a great chance of earning a bachelors of Bible degree from there in that they might except my slcc credits. Third and so great is that I will be growing in my knowledge of the Bible with the man I love. Nothing can get any better than that. I am so grateful for the blessing of being sent down to check out the school becasue it really solitfied my decision. Its so Great! I cant wait for you to come home but I am also very excited to be back down there with you.
I love you! have a good day!
Love Brandi
