Spring is here and ENMU students are excited about it. It is warm outside and summer is right around the corner. Students are contemplating what they are going to do with their summer break.
“I can’t wait to go the park with all of my friends. We love being silly. We dance around and sing like crazy, but it’s so fun,” said freshman Leesha Smith.
Sophomore Britney Wood will be saying local. “I’m gonna stay in Portales, relax, soak up some sun, and get a tan!”
Students like Wade Sultemeier will not be having quite the same fun as Smith and Wood. “All I get to do this summer is work, work, work, and work some more to save up for fall’s tuition,” said Sultemeier.
Some ENMU students are giving back in service for their summer. Sophomore Kaitlin Kirkpatrick will be in Africa this summer on a mission trip with 10 other ENMU students. “I cannot wait to get there. I have been praying for each heart we will encounter while there,” said Kirkpatrick, “I am most excited to invest into the communities we will be in, we will be in many villages who have never been heard the name of Jesus. It will be an honor to bring the good news.” The ENMU team has been meeting to pray and prepare for the adventure they will be facing.
ENMU students will be doing many things this summer; the events range a large spectrum. Whether big or small, they are important and a step to being ready to return to classes in the fall of 2014.
