My Suitemates Return!
notice how their beds and desks are covered in newspaper by pranksters.
austin and ben just returned from uganda after a long 20+ hour plane trip. both are covered in lots of facial hair and look very tired. now i won’t be so lonely since ian’s in chicago! they tell me that the trip was very touching and experiencing poverty first-hand has changed their perspectives. austin tells me about how he almost broke down when they visited an orphanage filled with kids who were HIV-positive.
that reminds me of my mission trip to cambodia a while ago where we visited an orphanage filled with kids between the ages of 1 to 18. the sad part about that orphanage is that those kids will never be adopted because of corruption in the adoption system. they will stay in the orphanage until they are old enough to live by temselves. they work together as a self-sustaining community with plantations for food.
some pictures from the cambodia trip follow…
Interim Break is Here!
aaah, wonderful holiday :-) i’m so glad that we have a break between interim and spring semester. there is a ton of tiny tasks that needs completing and they accumulate over interim. meanwhile, interim is so busy that there isn’t time to finish them. now’s the time to do it all! time to get my driver’s permit, textbooks, finish scholarship applications, and clean up my room. speaking of my room, it’s empty at the moment. in fact, my entire suite is empty. my roommate just left for chicago to see his brother at moody bible college and my suitemates are still in africa. my suitemates are bound to return at any time though, so i must make good use of the time i have with myself. it’s nice to have some peace and quiet. this will be a good time to reconnect with myself and my inner spirit (sounds so new age, i know). no noise (almost everyone has left for interim break), no visitors… just me, myself, and i.
