Well its been a few days since I wrote and a lot has happened. Last thursday we did our first outreach, the outreach was with a church who set up a tea and coffee station outside a local mall and would give it out and just talk to people. It rained so we did not get to do that. But something awesome still happened. We decided to just walk around the mall and talk to people and I felt God leading me to this coffee shop. I ended up getting to talk to this indian guy named money(hhahah) who was part of the sikh religion. If you dont know what that religion is, look it up. It is pretty difficult because they believe that multiple religions lead to a god. Anyways, we sat there for a while and he talked to us about the religion. He was surprised to see christians listening to him because he had a very big bias against christians. He thanked us for listening to him and was just very interested in the fact that we sat down just to talk to him. It was a pretty cool experience. PRAY FOR HIM. We had a a good weekend after that. Youth street started on saturday, which is where we worked with a bunch of skaters and hung out. Like i said they all were using scooters, which is really lame. To me its the equivalent to fruit booting (that is rollerblading for those that are not well versed in street terms). They were all an interesting bunch of kids and they thought we were super awesome because we were doing tricks and stuff on our longboards and they did not know anyone with longboards. I have been very excited to getting into the outreach and ministry part of this trip and the kids were really cool. On sunday,we finally had our first day off. We went to Bondi beach, which was amazingggg. I have never seen anything like that in my life. The water was unspeakably cold though, so I need a wetsuit for when we get to go surfing If i still want to be a man. I mean I probably could handle it pretty well because I am tough, but certain parts of me might not like me for it. If you want to know what the beach looked like, there should be photos posted on either mine or tonys facebook sometime soon. Guess my song of the week To Mike, Jeremy, and EJ :
"What happens when I turn and run again? And again, and again?
"I will forgive you."
And what happens when I lie to your face?
"I will forgive you."
Oh my God, I can be so defiant to some one who's arms stretch to me.
"I will forgive."
THATS IT FOR NOW! DINNER IS A RINGIN!
In Christ,
Joe
