10/30/09: Sleepover~
Sleepover with the Thailand team today. It was fun. And it was nice to see them again. I have yet to meet a group of people that I can be more comfortable with. It's weird how comfortable we are from simply having lived with each other for a month. Crazy. I was really blessed by speaker K.P. Yohannan from the evangelism conference. My mission's heart is really aflame these days. God, in his ever-present grace, is growing me slowly. I'm not thinking much else lately.
Things I need to work on: Daily exercise. Waking up early. Going to class.

10/31/09: Halloweenie
Pretty normal Saturday. Woke up at Paul's place. Sleepover ends. We have some breakfast. Then off to the rest of the evangelism conference! Ray Comfort was a delightful speaker, with plenty of humorous anecdotes, an awesome New Zealand accent, and a powerful focus on spreading the gospel message. After the conference, I got to have a small discussion with Pastor Jonas about the distinction between Calvinists and Arminians. That cleared up a lot of stuff in my mind and allowed me to firmly establish myself as a Calvinist in my mind. I took Tina home after my chat with P. Jonas and we had a short but very fulfilling discussion about predestination and the total depravity of the human race as beings under sin. Then I headed off to praise practice where I had an exceptional refreshing time of worship (except for the fact that my thumb cramped up and it's still really sore right now). I can't shake the feeling that God is growing me for something in my future... He has something planned for me that's going to change my life and, whether it's a pleasant experience or a painful one, I'm never going to forget it. It instills a weird mixture of fear and excitement inside me. AHH!!!!
Things I need to work on: Eating right.
