Sorry for no recent updates. I still have to write one for my last stop on Christmas break...but that will not be this update.
School has gotten off to a bang of a start. I have not stopped moving it feels like since my last update.
This last weekend I got to go to YF. I have been to YF before, and you can read about it here. This time was for the 9s and 10s which is 13-15yr olds. It was very different from the last camp. These kids were much more calm. Our speaker was amazing. She had some great insight and 3 kids came to know the father from this weekend, and many more started asking questions. It was such a great weekend.
On Monday, All the IGs went to a water park called Black Thunder. It was nothing like what we have at home. In fact this place would most likely be shut down in the USA because it is no where near up to standards. The one thing I found funny was everything was marked on who could use the ride/pool. They have a wave pool and it was divided in half. One half was for men and kids, the other half was for women and kids. Then they have a pool for only women and kids. If a man got in then the "lifeguard"(I use quotes because I am not sure if any of them had any training some of them were pretty fat) would blow their whistle at them and tell them to get out. Another funny thing is everyone got into the pool in their everyday clothes. The women got in wearing full Salwar Kameez suits including the scarfs. Most of them had the scarfs just wrapped around their necks like it was just normal to hop into the pool/ride water rides dressed like this.
Also in the last few days I found out that I am going to be going to seminary. I will be going to Fuller Theological Seminary in September! I am super excited!!!! I will getting my masters in Intercultural Studies with an emphasis in Theology and the Arts. If you know me at all you know that that is right up my interest. Now it is just waiting on the Father to provide for me to go.
For some things to pray for...Wisdom for these next weeks as I talk to students so that I can be intentional with sharing with them, energy(these kids run you down fast), and good closure over the next few months. I know it seems far away but soon this fun adventure will be over and I will have to move on with life. It is good to start thinking about closure now.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All us girl IGs got lots of looks since we were wearing long(to the knee) shorts and t-shirts. We might have been showing to much skin. The Indian guys at the park most of them had shorts on but some guys just ran around in their boxer briefs. Thankfully they were colored briefs
