It was our second English Corner and the place was packed! You see since we have not been able to find any good English Corners we decided to start our own. It was a way to connect to people and meet more of the college students. So I had shown up to the English Corner [...]
This is yet another story of how God moves through our little parties. It was a fine saturday afternoon, and we were expecting a large crowd to arrive at our home. It was the day of our “English corner” that we had planned two weeks in advance. An English corner is where local people go [...]
This week I was responsible for my first Thanksgiving dinner. Dove made some delicious desserts, but somehow I was designated in charge of the main meal. It was a little chaotic as I tried to delegate all the washing, cutting, peeling, and chopping responsibilities while I prepared our chicken to go in our tiny oven. [...]
The sun lit up the sky on quite a pleasant day. Ginger and I were a bit disappointed that our last appointment had fallen through due to a sick friend. Still we weren’t about to let that affect our happiness over seeing Sarah once again! Three weeks had past since I’d seen her last. She [...]

I saw my student in life (Chris) teach a group of people about the Bible this week. Little could make me happier. Both Vash and I have been assigned to teach another guy about how to live life, especially life in God. The group that we have come along side does not have any men [...]
Every day has potential to be filled with adventure! Last week I had an adventure with two friends trying to find out which post office had my package (it could not be delivered because I am not often home).
