sorry it has been a while, a lot has been going on lately!
we have been doing lots of biblical studies during the week, and snowboarding every weekend!
It is so incredible here. The views are amazing, the lessons are taught by some of the wisest people I have ever met, and there is such a connection between all of the students here. I am currently in a bunk-room with a total of 11 people. It gets a little smelly at times, but these guys are so much fun to live with. Community living is a new thing for me though. 3 minute showers, sharing everything. If you plan on buying food for yourslef, buy twice as much as you want, because you will be sharing half with everyone. Its cool though because everone shares so you never go hungry.
We also have been doing weekly outreaches, my first one was at a care center for older homeless people getting back on their feet, most are employed, but have no place to stay. We talked to some very interesting people, we prayed for them, then we went back and told our stories with everyone else. (we slit into about 5 groups doing different outreaches).
New upddates on my mission!!!!
I will be flying into thailand at the end of march, we will be spending two weeks in Phuket. There we will be doing some tsunami relief. We will also be teaching children english and some bible studies. The next two weeks we will be in Bangkok. We will be spending most of our time in the red light district. We will be doing prayer walks, the girls in our group will go into bars and talk to prostitutes and exploited children. While the men in our group will be talking to the north american and european men seeking women and children. The last two weeks we will spend in Cambodia... I'm not quite sure what we will be doing there at this moment, but our next missions meeting is soon.
