Urbana 12: International Family

Yo guys!

I'm at the border crossing just a bit North of Detroit right now! We've been travelling for a long time. Haha. I got on the bus from Montreal at 4:30 with another 15 or 20 people and we've pretty much been driving.

The guy beside me is awesome. Lol. He's an international student from China who is doing his masters in Economics at Dalhousie and by God's grace heard the gospel last year in California and in his brokenness accepted Christ as his saviour! From a life of negativity and depression he found true joy and life. He was baptised this summer on his birthday and just experienced his first Christmas at his pastor's house in Halifax before flying to Ottawa to get on the bus. So, long day for him. Lol

My night has been pretty cool. Got to know him pretty well; still listening to Andrew Huang's free remix album which I put on my phone earlier; read a bit; pit stop.

Then I got to meet the two sitting in front of me. That started with the girl trying to figure out how the song 'Still' goes, so we pretty much sang it together. Apparently they had been talking about those times when you don't hear so much from God. Anyways, they are both from Montreal. Not originally. She is Korean, and he is a quarter Malaysian (the rest being Chinese. Lol). We ended up singing old school worship songs with a guy a row up and a girl another row up. Lol. We also played a game: "Fortunately, unfortunately."

Randomly ran into AY at a pit stop. Was hoping to see him, but really have no way of planning it once I cross this border. Lol

Ummm. Lots of sleep?

Oh! And we watched 'Elf'! Best time I'd ever seen it. Realized the story is a little thin in development, but ya, whatever, Zooey Deschenel(sp?) is in it! So I actually paid attention this time. Lol. I don't especially like Will Ferrell.

Anyways, this is my goodbye for the week. I'll be back on the 1st of January. Maybe once in between.

Oh, Urbana 12 is happening in St. Louis and is gonna be crazy! The Korean girl reminded me about it: worship in many different languages with 50 000 people!?! Crazy awesomeness!

So ya, see you later guys! DFTBA

PS. While I am gone my blog will hit 15000 pageviews from like tons of countries. This isn't because of me, but because of you guys and ya, thanks! I'm glad you take the time to read about what God is doing in Canada and around the world in my life. You guys are like a third family that I just send update letters to and sometimes I forget you exist. Lol.
