7/8/10

Campus time was amazing! I was able to meet with Moto for lunch and catch up with him. He was sick for the past 2 days, which is why he couldn't meet up with me. So I was somewhat relieved because I thought he was just trying to avoid me. We talked for about an hour then he had to go study. What a smart kid. After lunch, Carrie, Jared, Michael and I headed over to Tully's to meet some new contacts. I approached some guys, and got rejected by both of them. As a group, we talked about our frustrations in ministry. It was crazy because Michael was expressing his frustrations about meeting people, then literally 5 minutes later he talked to this guy next to our table and had a great conversation with him. We were all praising God for this divine appointment! It was so encouraging to see God work so fast. Once it was 4:30, we went to this international relations club meeting and met so many new people. It was a real blessing to meet so many energetic people at once. At around 7, we met up with a couple of people outside and talked for a while. I met this guy from Nara who is super interested in American Culture, so we talked about a lot of things. He's a really cool guy and understands a lot of slang words. Before I knew it, we were talking for about an hour! I asked if he wanted to meet up again for lunch next week and he was excited. It seems like God always ends the last day of the week with a bang. We're not going to campus tomorrow because we're having our midproject retreat at Nara from Friday afternoon to Saturday night. I'm excited to just relax and retreat for a day, and I'm praying that God will restore us all through this retreat.
