Rainy Thursday

Heyo. How are you all on this lovely rainy day?

Last night after I posted, I ventured to the Drake Hall bible study. I am so glad I did! I spent an hour with other Christians learning from the Bible, discussing issues we were dealing with, and really trying to learn everything we could about what the Bible teaches on forgiveness. It was fantastic! I then stayed for another hour talking to two of the study's leaders (one of which was my neighbor last year). I was bouncing up and down with excitement and could not stop smiling and laughing! I am incredibly happy to have Christian friends who understand my joy and love and devotion to God, who understand how difficult the path with Jesus is, but how oh so rewarding it is as well!!

Kati-san, I am going to be teaching my bible study on how to maintain a Christian walk while in college (how to deal with peer pressure, financial stresses, how to fit in and find people with whom you are comfortable with, who believe in your beliefs, how to come to Christ, how to discuss your faith with others, etc.) Because the Campus Ministry is devoted to teaching the students, I basically want it to be a place where they can come, be accepted as Christians, bring up their problems/worries and look to the Bible for answers. We decided this would be better than an indepth study in a certain book as not everyone has time to come to study and they would miss stuff that is important. What do you think? I think that I will be able to do this, and I *hope* that it is helpful to the students!

My head, sadly, is pounding once again. Why am I typing this blog? My roommate had a friend come over and they started watching, "Batman". It was loud, and I did not want them to not have fun on my account, so I came downstairs to avoid the noise. I am tired and want to sleep, yet it is only 8. I took a nap this morning before the environmental studies field trip for about an hour and a half, but it seems to have had no effect.

The field trip! It was fun; we learned how the power plant creates its power and how they are environmentally friendly. I could not stop thinking of Mom the entire time - it was something she would have loved. (In fact, she drilled me on the information afterwards. Hehe.)

I think I am going to go find a quiet [dark] place to go crash.

Please keep Kati-san and her family, Soni-chan and her mother, my family, Sari-chan, Aimi-san, and FBCF in your prayers.
Goodnight and God bless.
