Week 9 (4/3/17-4/9/17)

After all the craziness of last week, this week seemed to go by very slowly. 

On Thursday I had the opportunity to get to know the girls interning at the Baby Home as well as Britt, the Baby Home manager. We spent all day painting their house. It was a ton of work, but it was wonderful to spend time with other godly women!

Friday was the first ever young adults in the new church building! We played games, ate a delicious dinner, and spent time in God's Word. Tony spoke to us about evangelism and how to share the gospel with our unbelieving friends, family and others we interact with. He said that our message must be Christ-centred, we should focus on people's needs, not their wants, and we need to make them feel loved. He also spoke about how we need to live out what we say we believe. People should see that Jesus changed us! Live the Gospel!

Saturday: Julia, Auntie Susan, Hope, and I went to a conference, The Theology of Psychology. It was taught by Ed Wilde, a lawyer who is now a professor at the Master's University. He talked about how there is a better way to fixing your problems then medication or other things psychologists may recommend. He also talked about how psychologists are just broken people trying to fix other broken people whom only the Gospel can truly heal. Sin is the problem and Jesus is the ultimate way to true happiness! 

Although I am very much looking forward to be going home in just three short weeks, I will miss my second family, home, and church family very much!

Days until my family comes: 9 

Bug bite count: 0
