wow

WOW. Can I just say, if you ever feel Him tugging on you to do something, do it. So I know I haven't written anything on this since getting here, but that's okay because the less I'm on here means the more I'm out there. :D So I was sitting in my room, and suddenly heard that I should go walk on the track. So I got up and walked down there, where a lot of Chinese Teachers were sitting and talking and playing basketball and stuff. There were three particular girls sitting and talking, and as I passed by they smiled, and giggled. I walked once around the track, speaking to Him, asking for opportunities. When I walked back around, the same three girls kept smiling and giggling, so I walked over to them and found out they were Chinese Teachers (our students). When I told them I was one of the English teachers, they got really excited and told me to sit down. We talked for a long time about some great things. One girl spoke a lot, with very good English. She told me that one of her biggest goals was to speak with a foreigner. When I told her "well, you did it!!! and you'll do it some more!" she smiled and just kind of looked down, marveling that idea. Then the mosquitoes came and so we got up and walked towards the dorms. I can't tell you now (really) how amazing this opportunity was, and everything that was spoken, but I can say that I am so so excited about these next few weeks. It's going to be fruitful. My Father's already moving mightily. Please remember a few things: I have been a bit under the weather lately. That's about all I have to say about that. Obviously, that's a burden to the work we're doing here. Also, reflect on those three girls and more opportunities with them and other students. So if I sent you the last email, I accidentally put John 15:9 and it's John 5:19. Sorry about that. John 15:9 is great too!!! Happy Independence Day!!!! (It's just starting for yall!! - have a great one and please really take the time to reflect on this freedom we have. If you have the daily bread, read todays. It'll say more of what I'd like to.) "How great is the love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called sons and daughters of God; and that is what we are!"
