So this friday night we had evanglism. I have to be honest with you that i was not at all excited to put on my winter coat, gloves, toque, scarf.. etc and head out into the dark cold streets of uddevalla to share the gospel! I was tired... and I was cold... and when we got there and were praying before we were sent out it started to snow.. and it was WINDY... it was really very very cold. I was also not so excited about evanglism because its hard to start conversations becasue i dont even know if the person speaks english or not. Finally after a lot of prayer walking and praying to God to please warm up our insides and help us think positivley we decided to just go ahead and talk to someone. The first person we talked to inside Mcdonalds was not too keen on talking but it was a good warm up. After that we decided we'd venture out into the cold again and find some more people to talk to. The only problem was, that being a cold night everyone was heading indoors for the evenign and the streets were getting emptier and emptier as the night progressed. I then saw a man and I said to my 2 evanglising friends... "lets go talk to him..." so we did. We went and approached him and shared the gospel with him. NOt like the whole gospel or anything but we got to talk about who Jesus is to us and what he means in our lives. It was really cool. The man had some crazy new age religeon and was homeless but he was so nice and it was so cool to be able to pray for him. We also met another one of our teams on the street and told them to go and try to talk to the guy in Mcdonalds that we did not have much sucess with him. We thoughd it would be cool if two teams tried to talk to him. AFter the night when we were debriefing my friend was like... thanks for leading us to that guy... it was so cool... he was so open to talk to us and she started to talk to me about their conversation and i was like... Lina... it is definitally not the same guy. It was so cool because God totally used our time in Mcdonalds to help them talk to this christian man who just really needed someone to talk to and feel loved by and know that the church is a body and we are there for one another when life sucks.
My second smaller God story is this. If you know me at home and my messy room... you can imagine what my bunk and desk look like here. absolute chaos. So today Malaria medication day.. and we were supposed to take our pills with lunch... however I could not find my pills.. and we were rushed for time... i was freaking out... so then i sat on the bunk and was like "God please open my eyes and show me where i left my pills..." then i was like... man i need to look in my suitcase again... and i opened my suitcase... and then i remembered that they were tucked safley away in the front pocket of small bag inside my big suitcase! Go God... we all took our medication and no side effects so far. Yeah!
