Classrooms of First Years

Yo guys!

So, yesterday was really cool. It was academic orientation and then EXPO. then at the evening it was the res caf dinner at the same time as the International student welcome dinner.

I was mostly texting guys all day. I still had a stack of guys who were Christian and wanted to grow in their faith, so I invited them to the caf dinner and then once I had done that it was time for me to go to the EXPO. My shift apparently only really was for setup and then I was done and back to HQ. After a while JC came back with a bunch of surveys and more guys for me to text. haha. So I texted more. haha

One thing that worked really well apparently was putting the "HEY CHRISTIAN!" poster on our banner. xP. Made it clear that Power to Change is a Christian group. So a whole bunch of new 1st year Christians came and filled out surveys and wanted to get involved.

So, when it came to be time for the res dinner, we had a bunch of people! =D Like 7 first years and then additionally, our upper years for a total of about 20-25 people?!? It was sweet! We also played some board games after and got to spend time with those first years. One girl said that this was the best day of frosh week yet! =D

What was sweet is that she actually helped out with surveying a classroom this morning! =D

Also, kinda awesome was that I also had a class to go to survey and my two guys were running late, so I was planning to do all the work myself, but when I got there I found one of the first year girls from yesterday! And she helped me! =D So, it was really cool. haha

Classroom surveys are kinda dull, but I think it's still great getting to make the announcement and be visible. There are also some good contacts. Today we had like 80 surveys filled out and a good 8 contacts. I'm meeting up with one of the guys tomorrow actually! =D

PS. Oh! yesterday I got a sprained (or maybe just twisted) ankle and I was like "whatever, this is for the gospel", and just pushed on. haha I stopped and prayed first and was great for 20 minutes or so. haha. then it got painful. but whatever. I realize today that I had read a chapter about God's wisdom and use of suffering for ministry and service which is super cool. haha. Also, what AL said way back when about using eczema for the gospel is still resounding in my memory.
