Has it gotten better?

Lets just say that I am here to do Gods work. Not preach Gods will and way. I am his hands and feet, not his voice. I guess this is where the missionaries and I don't see eye to eye. I have learned today that though I would love to be a missionary, there would have to be some stipulations. For one being that I will not be preaching and spreading evangelism. I will be his hands, doing the work he is not able to. Leading by example and showing love through my actions will be how I will lead people to Christ. Well maybe there isn't really a place for me to mission out there and maybe I am in the right major and international social work is my real calling I don't really know.

Today was an interesting day to say the least. We started off in workshop, which could have been fun except it was like school. We were learning about culture. Not just the German culture but also reflecting upon our culture back home. What is my culture? What have I taken from my culture and what have I left behind? I truly believe that you must be open to differenced in order to be culturally competent.

After the fun filled day of lessons and crafts, we had some free time! Mom and I ventured out on our own and went shopping. On her credit card! That I don't have to pay back! :) I love vacationing with her! She doesn't know where there is an H&M in Ohio so she was excited for me. (We won't tell her there is one in Kenwood). After dinner out in a cafe, we went on this prayer walk. There isn't much I can say about it except it was truly weird and I don't want to ever do it again. I believe that God sees the things happening in the world and he needs us to do something about it not walk around and pray on it. He gave us two feet to work, not sit.

But the room is sleeping and it is dark and I am loud. Tata for now! (Germany 1 Africa 3) :)
