Week 4: Amazing Things -- May 24

10:24

So, today. Me and SVdM didn't really have very many things planned for the day, so, mainly I had a large sum of quiet time. We had class, BT (IBS), then we went to YUMMY food street and we had lunch while talking to a couple first year guys. They had heard a little bit about Jesus, the one guy's grandmother is Christian I infer, and they had a couple questions.

They asked what worship was. That is a very hard question to answer properly. I mean, when I hear the word I think of singing praise and worship songs that talk about the gospel or how great God is and how His love and stuff, but really worship is praising God for what he has done, for how good He is, for how much He gives us, for just who He is and who we are because of Him. A lot of things can fit into the category of worship [including living your life for Him, re:Romans 12:1-2].

Ya. I have like this package of like educational lessons on Christian topics or something that RN had. I've been using it as quiet time material. Today I read some stuff about prayer and 37 ways to ruin your family. I got distracted by phone calls and AL with 'tasty potato chips' and stuff. I felt like such a waste of time, but really no one was free...

At 4 me and TL did some exercises. It was interesting. Cardio boxing, a lot of stretching and push ups.

We got air conditioning. I need new pens. The international phone is out of minutes. Stan was really cool. Tomorrow I have five meetings planned. I hope it is awesome.

[PS. I was honestly like 'who is Stan again..? I didn't meet any Steve... It's not on my schedule... Oh!' Then I remembered who he was. He was this awesome guy who AL (AL's brother), DW and JW had all talked to before in East Asia when they went on Project or STINT. He has been through a lot and is now graduating, leaving his campus and all the ministry that is still working there to continue as God provides. He will be entering the work force where it is harder to share your faith. Pray for him and others in the work forces in East Asia that they too may shine the light into the dark and change the world.

I was actually assuming that all or at least some of the people I knew would have previously been to the city I'd end up in. I guess I'm really glad we got to be on a pioneering project to a new city and at the same time we got to see the impact that Canadians are having there.]
