Why do you think that?
Matthew Minica
Hola! Como estas tu? :)
BTW, why'd you change your username back so fast?
Emily H
Okay. I did Greek words for a lot of the words, but then only studied like 5 or so for each chapter. And I looked up which memory passages had those words (key key words or whatever :P) in them… It so doesn't seem like enough. But I guess in the SS there's a lot of stuff other than studying the Book…. I don't know :P

Because we have a lot more verses this year than ever before except 2009, so it will be a lot harder.
Bye- they're watching a movie that we've been trying to for a long time, so I'll go! Fun talking to all you!
Everett C.
Hello everyone!
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
(I did like 15-20 words per chapter!) Bye!
Matthew Minica
Okay, yeah, that makes sense. It might lean more heavily on the oral test than in previous years, but I think written will still be just as important.
Emily H
trying desperately to remember my Spanish uhhh…. :P
Because every time I'd reply I'd look at my username and go who on earth is that?? :P lol
Matthew Minica
Hi Everett!! Sooo cliché, :P but how's studying?
Emily H
okay bye! Have fun! :D
Matthew Minica
LOL!
Haha, yeah I've done that too. @Sarah E. - when does this officially end?? The novelty of my extremely original username has worn off. :P
Emily H
Okay…I don't know if this is proper wording or anything but Estoy bien!!! :P :P Y tu?
Everett C.
My studying is going okay. Even though I'm really behind on my verses, I'm pretty far along in Ephesians. It probably should be the opposite though: ) How's yours?
Emily H
She said it was "Obscure Bible Person Week"…..so maybe next week, I don't know :P
Matthew Minica
Tu esta correcto! Y yo tambien estoy bien! :P I can't carry on a conversation in Spanish yet. :P
I feel like I've been using the tongue emoticon a bit much lately… :P (oops there I did it again)
Emily H
Okay that's good…because that's about all I know :P :P
Hehe…I've probably used it a little much too…. :P :P Oh well. :P
Everett C.
Do you take Spanish?
Matthew Minica
I have roughly 100 verses to go and am hoping to finish learning them in 5-6 days. Concerning Ephesians, I've got half of chapter 5 and all of chapter 6 left to study.
Emily H
What are you doing for studying each chapter??
Matthew Minica
Yes, and I feel like I should know more than I do by now. I do know a lot of Spanish, per se, but I can't really use it yet. One of these years I'm going to go on a missions trip to a Spanish-speaking country for lots of immersion.
Everett C.
I'm at about the same point as you. I hope to also finish my verses in a little under a week and I'm halfway through chapter 5.
I have to go now, though. ttyl
Emily H
Bye Everett!!
Matthew Minica
I do a three- or four-day Streetview of sorts, then study all the Greek words and label my key words. I also try to find a few cross-references, but I'm lacking in that area. Since we don't know the cross-references they will ask (except for Colossians :)), I'm hoping that my general knowledge of the Bible (shorter NT epistles in particular) will get me by on that part of the test.
Matthew Minica
Haha, what a coincidence. :) Bye!!
biblebee
Hey all! :)
Matthew Minica
Carissa!! You're back, finally! :D
Emily H
Okay. What do you do for "streetview"? Cross references the years before…those were mostly from our memory passages….right? And then they did a LOT of Jude in 2011, I know that.
EDIT. Yay, Carissa!!! :D
biblebee
Haha :) Yeah…it took a lot longer than I thought it would….
What have y'all been talking about?
Matthew Minica
"Streetview" for me is mostly writing out thoughts I had when I first read the chapter, finding any lists that happen to be included and then asking questions about the chapter. Oh, and also finding quoted verses.
Matthew Minica
Mostly BB, with a little bit of choir and Spanish mixed in :) Nothing extremely silly though. :P
biblebee
Okay :)
Emily H
Okay. Thanks! There are like a LOT of lists in Ephesians…
Matthew Minica
Yeah, the CR did seem to be mostly from the memory verses last year. 2012 was the first year though that I think they made a big effort to choose verses that went with the study books.
Matthew Minica
Chapter 1 especially is like one big long list!! :)
Matthew Minica
I've got to go now, goodbye!!
biblebee
Bye Matthew! :(
Emily H
I know!! At first it was super confusing for me then when I started studying it I was kinda surprised :P
Emily H
Yeah, the CR did seem to be mostly from the memory verses last year. 2012 was the first year though that I think they made a big effort to choose verses that went with the study books.
Okay. Thanks!
