One word. Disney! That was our halloween/birthday party. I was Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame. I also watched Thor 2. it came out a week earlier here than over there. the movie was good, but the adventure surrounding it is what will make the memories. It was sunday night, and four of us girls decided on the spur of a moment that we all wanted to see Thor, so we took a train(or three) to the city centre, sprinted trying to find the theatre in time, almost missed the cutoff, almost didnt have enough money, but then settled into the theatre for a great movie. Then we ran to the train station only to miss the last train (the midnight train) by a couple seconds. so we walked to the next station only to be told there were no more outgoing trains until 4. therefore, the four of us walked up and down the unknown road, trying to hail down our very first Taxi ride. when we succeeded, the driver didn't say a word, which made our 20 minute ride back to base uncomfortable and scary, and at 1:00, hours after curfew, we returned full of glee and thoughts of Thor (or Loki for some). there ya go, a good story, and not a single spoiler!
TWO DAYS LATER...
OUTREACH LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN REVEALED!
On wednsdays we have two sessions. the people of MAD DTS waited out of doors, trying to peer through the veiled curtains, into the mysterious happenings beyond. As we were called to enter, a silence fell over our usual laughing and singing selves. the 30 anticipating students quietly, almost nervously shuffled through the doors, and sat on the floor of the darkened classroom. We had not yet been told what this class would hold. The staff was lined up at the front, with a glimmer in thier eyes, but not a smile to be seen on thier faces. as the game show music drifted to our ears, murmers of 'outreach!' 'ohgoodnessitsreallyhappening' and 'I knew it!' were heard around the hushed group. as we guessed answers to random trivia, our five locations were revealed slowly, letter by letter. one place at a time. JAPAN! MALAYSIA! VANUATU! AUSTRALIA! PERU! screetches of excitement were the exclamations proffered at the end. Then, the rules. We are told not to talk to our classmates about our choice, for our decision must bebased on God's leading, not our people preference.We may tell our parents, speak to staff, and research , but under no curcumstances may we post these decisions on social media until our team and staff are revealed. Then, awe in our eyes, we walk out of the class and into the light of day, as well as the knowledge of where we may go with God. and I write this.
other news, the speaker, a communications major, and an amazing movie producer, is talking about hearing the voice of God. He is amazing. so many stories have come of it! Did you know that God got sass? well, he does. and a wierd sense of humor, and I think he has a crooked smile. Juss sayin. ;)
So exciting! Paying for you!
ReplyDeleteKarey,
DeleteI wish you were paying for her. LOL! But I know you are praying, and I thank you. ;)
I like the idea of God having a crooked smile. ;) So, where do you want to go? Email me or Skype me to let me know. I am praying for you to hear God's voice clearly. Unmistakably. And that everyone else hears it too, and that it as clear as can be because it is a unanimous vote!
ReplyDeleteThe movie adventure sounds fun, except the freaky taxi guy. Maybe you girls intimidated him. I also pray for the most exotic, and maybe safest (?) place for you all to go to. No. Just the place that God wants you to work at, since He is already at work there.
I love you and I miss you!
Logan misses you a lot. Josh loves you he says. Tyana and Shyrrelle are gone for the afternoon. Dad misses you majorly. He is sad he won't get to talk to you for another week. TTYL. Mom
