Thursday, July 2nd

hey everyone - i got enoch here to blog so it wouldn't just be me. everybody likes play baget (baguette?) whatever and that's what most people are doing now or taking pictures or hanging out or something. on thursday morning, we had our last session with John Ray - he challenged us to put truth into action - that the only way to appropriate truth is to apply it. You do what you value and value what you do; it seems like circular logic but you experience the truth by both knowing and doing it. Basically, John was calling us to action. We had cultural seminars that day which were extremely helpful. Liya, Timur, D-Gil, and I were in the basic Spanish class with Katlyn. D-Mats, Jocelyne, and Jenny were in advanced Spanish. Everyone else took either the leading a child/adult to Christ class or the Spanish worship songs class. By all accounts, they were very good.

that night was also Africa night. We did this exercise where we all carried in these buckets containing strange but edible mystery drinks - like onions in water, or fruit loops with peaches, soy sauce combos. And one group got a mug with normal water. This symbolized access to water in Africa; where most water is polluted and women walk miles to get dirty, nasty water. It was a pretty powerful exercise. No more - I'm tired
