Hey, so, I just want to praise God for yesterday and this week so far. It's just been so sweet!
Yesterday was the day that I had been personally dreading: beach day. The day when all of the frosh leave campus and walk to Mooney's bay to build sand castles, have volleyball games, and just hang out at a beach. Yesterday morning I had been really hoping that I would just stick back on campus and do surveys there or whatever while everyone else went to the beach.
Nope.
It was me, JC, and E(?) that ended up walking over to the beach.
But it was really cool. We got to hear a bit about E(?)'s story of coming to know God. Mainly him praying and asking for reasons for God and Him providing each time through friends and family. He quit smoking and idolizing relationships with girls. He's a really cool guy, and an international student no less. xP It was actually just last year that he was baptized! Him and JL met up weekly for discipleship. Pretty cool.
While at the beach I got to meet a bunch of really sweet people and especially this one conversation with JM and MS. They both came from Catholic backgrounds of sorts, but were at different places in their faith: JM really looking into it more and growing and MS kinda more reluctant but really interested in creation. So we talked for like half an hour about science and religions and creation and I got to share a bit about Haiti and other projects, and it was just an awesome conversation. I'm praying that JM gets involved with P2C. I really want to be like his big brother and see him grow more in his faith. xP You can pray for that. xP
Free food too. PTL.
Ummm, but ya. Probably one of the coolest things I noticed at the end was how little being at the beach was an issue. Temptation wasn't that bad. I didn't care that much about the people around me. And it was just so sweet to have met so many people and just talked with them.
So in everything, I thank God for these things and look forward to more as the week and month and year continue!
Ttyl.
