The First Steps

It feels like it's been a month already but we've only been here for a few days. So far God has been doing amazing things. $27,000 to send 5 teams around the world....raised in 1 day. This is one persons salary we are talking about here, raised in a day. This is God's economy.

So far we've been just settling in and getting a feel for Kyoto. Checking out the eateries, the campuses, the bus system, you know the basics. We're really going to get things cranking on monday when we really start going to Campus. Me and 5 others will be at Rikio (I think I spelled that right) University. Pictures will come. 

3 Days Into Briefing

I am exhausted. Christianese culture is sometimes too much. I feel like a kid who has been told that I will be going to Disneyland in a week. Being here at the briefing and waiting to go to Japan is making me a bit anxious, and tired. But necessary things are coming.

Woo-Girls

What is a Woo-Girl? Well...

A Woo-Girl is a female who is often found going 'WOOOOOO!' in public. This behavior is most often exhibited while in the presence of other woo-girls. It is speculated that this is a mating call used to attract men of less than average intelligence. This behavior can most easily be observed in bar districts, at maroon 5 concerts, or spring break destinations.

Common phrases heard:

"Who wants to play beer pong?!"
collectively, "WOO!!"

"I am soo drunk right now!"
collectively, "WOO!!"

If ever you are to be in the presence of Woo-Girls, do not panic. Slowly back away and notify me immediately.

Scared out of my mind!

I'm leaving for Japan on summer project in about a week or so. I'm coleading this one, and I am scared out of my mind. I'm scared about raising support, scared about talking to people, scared about what God will do with our lives. This will be my fourth summer project and it is in no way easier. Actually, the fact that it's my fourth one, makes me so much more sensitive to the little things that need to be done to pull something like this off. This just means I have to depend on the Lord that much more now. It is terrifying how much I have to give up. But I give it gladly.
