Greetings All,
Today is a historic day in the Amlin family. Taylor, beloved son, begins his college career at the University of Dubuque in the Flight Operations program. I haven't started my senior year yet (technically) so Taylor is a freshman before I'm a senior. I think he's looking forward to this new page of his life story, I'm excited for him and hope for the best in all that he does. Flight, particularly helicopter flight, is important to Taylor and it's great that he's on the path to fulfill his dreams for a career.
In other news, Lorice and I are currently discerning how to complete our paperwork for the February draft, er, um, I mean "Assignment Process" which determines where we will land following school. Of course we'd love to get back to Florida, but we are also trying to decide how to complete the other two options for requests. We can select three preferences for assignment, it doesn't mean we'll get any of them, but we can at least have some voice. Please pray for us and for Taylor too!

On to the final year of seminary....
It's hard to believe, but I'm now ready to enter my fourth and final year of seminary. Internship was awesome and the people of Lost Nation and Oxford Junction Iowa are some of the finest you'll ever meet. They gave us a fine send off on August 10th and we loaded into our vehicle and pointed it back to Dubuque one last time. If you ever get a chance to visit Bethlehem Lutheran Church or St. Mark's Lutheran Church, I think you'll agree that there are some mighty fine people there to greet you.
Right now I'm taking a few days to rest and recreate before doing some writing for Fall classes and the approval process. Approval is the next and final step to being included in the assignment process in the Spring. It won't be long before I'm assigned to a region, and then a synod, in the ELCA.
Thanks for following my progress and thanks for your support through prayer and your financial contributions to my education at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, IA.
