reason why latvia is the bomb #17: reading through the Bible

as many of you know, i have been reading through the Bible with two of my best friends in latvia, kitija and krista matula. i think of these girls as my "little latvian sisters" because they have become very dear to me, to the point where they feel like family.

at our last fall conference, another josiah venture missionary challenged me to find some latvian guys to read through the Bible with. after a few unsuccessful attempts with guys here, i approached kitija and krista with the same idea. they immediately agreed and around mid-september we started meeting every week.

our original plan was to read through the entire Bible in four months, but because of the two months that i was in the states, we decided to push back the finishing date another two months to march 20th. it is looking like we will not meet our goal of finishing in time, but in this case i think the ending date comes secondary. i have learned a lot from these two girls over the past 5+ months and it has been a pleasure to study the Bible with them. God's Word has changed me and i have been blessed with a front row seat to see how He is working in their lives too. it has been the best Bible study that i have ever been a part of! i am very thankful for that!

how about eight months? ok, deal.
