Our first 2 full weeks of ministry have been great! We have victoriously overcome jet lag, faced some culture shock, and been introduced to many new Asian friends and Asian food! Along with the chicken feet, I’ve also tried baby octopus, sharkfin soup, jellyfish, fish eggs, & chicken butt. And no, I haven’t gotten sick yet, what a blessing!! It’s an amazing feeling to be serving God in such a beautiful place among beautiful people. We have established relationships with students at 3 different colleges. With some, we just meet up at the “cantine”, school cafeteria, to talk. And with others we go to the mall after their classes to hang out or eat. Seeing God bring people of peace into our path has been astounding. One girl in particular, we just met this week playing ultimate frisbee. She was very friendly and open to talk, although it was her first time there. For some reason, God really laid her on Kayla’s heart for us to reach out to her. So I texted her and asked her to lunch the next day, and she agreed. So we met up with her and she brought 3 of her friends for sushi. We had a great time & they invited us to do it again next week! I’m so excited to see how God cultivates these relationships that will ultimately point to Him! Tonight we are having a cookout and pool party for the student ministry we work with. We’ve invited a lot of our new friends who are not believers, some of them don’t even know we are believers yet. It should be a fun night and great time of growing these friendships :)

Getting my eyebrows threaded!
Kayla and I went to "Little India” with a friend, and decided to try on some Indian clothes.
