Open-Air Meetings
On this fall break, my friends and I went to these open-air meetings that Scott's church were holding. What we would do is go to a neighborhood, knock on the doors and tell everyone that we're having a meeting in a specific location (someplace nearby) and that if they came and participated in a raffle, they'll get different stuff. But before all of that, we'd preach the gospel to them. It was really good. Several people were saved and I was given the opportunity to lead two (2, dos if you're Spanish, duo if you're Greek) boys to Christ.
The stuff we gave away were pretty cool. We gave away bags of candy, 2-liter sodas, a ham (that's right folks, a ham) some stuffed animals and a bike! I wish I had pictures of it but I forgot to bring my camera. Stupid me, I know. But rewarding, nonetheless. Well, at least I know what on earth an open-air meeting is.

Hey Everybody!!

My Sunday school class, the Shepherd's Class. We have tons-o-fun!
Mission Banquet. Here's Cameron stuffing his face with some cake...the story of his life.

Jared makes fun of this security guard...not a good idea.
Bad news is that when I took the picture, the juggler dropped the pins and was fired...oh well!

Don't make fun, that's just the way he smiles.
And then there's me...need I say more?

Hey, It's My Birthday!
Yep, that's right folks. I'm 20 years old today. I feel so loved. I have brownies and cookies that my (female) friends have baked for me and my good ol' friend Scott bought me a Hardee's meal last night. I don't have any midterms today so this day can only get better!
Oh yeah, I woke up this morning with a pain in my shoulder and a lump in my throat. That's a nice present. Oh well, happy birthday to me!

No Cell Phone
So, I managed to lose my cell phone last Wednesday. I don't know how. All I remember is that I turned it on. I don't remember anything after that. I could've instinctively put it in my pocket. Heh, I let my mom know about it. She didn't seem too happy. Oh well, I'm still praying that'll turn up soon.

Heaven Rejoiced
On Thursday house-to-house visitation I was given the opportunity to lead a woman to the Lord. It was great! Her name is Holly and she has a 6 month old son Isaiah. She was very receptive and after dealing with her, she prayed that the Lord will forgive her of her sins. After she accepted Christ, I did not want to leave. I wanted to stay with her but we had to keep on going. Someone else will do a follow-up visit...they better or I'll do it myself! It was just fantastic. I don't know about you but I love it when that sort of thing happens!
Later on, we met an elderly mailman who was a Christian. He gave a powerful testimony and he encouraged us tremendously. Before we left, he stopped us and requested that we pray for his atheist co-worker. It felt great, it really did! I truly felt the presence of God.
Folks, that's what it's all about. Following the Lord and delighting yourself in Him. If you go to church out of drudgery or simply go for fellowship and that "your friends are there," I pray that the Lord will change your heart. It's all about surrending your life, wanting to know His will and delighting yourself in Him. Never get bored of it. Don't grow weary of the work. The Lord will bless like he did in my case.
And all God's people said...

What A Morning!
Man, okay let me set up the scene for you bloggers (all three of you). This morning, I had a heavy day in front of me. I had two tests to study for last night. It was kind of difficult to do because I also have plenty of assignments that are due on the day of the tests. Arrgh!
So we had dorm devotions last night, lasted about an hour. And my room had prayer time, lasted about just as long. So I was looking at starting my studying at 11:15 p.m. No big deal. Studied until 1 in the morning (how was I able to swing that?) I'm not sure. Everything was fine until Cameron started to act like a lunatic. Basically keeping everyone up. I woke up 6:45 this morning. What so bad about that? I usually leave the dorm at 6:45 in the morning. I had to take my shower, and get ready. I didn't leave the dorm until 7:20 and my class started at 7:30.
Made it to class on time, Praise God. And the test I spent studying for all night last night was the easiest test ever! Out of class early and here I am...so yeah, coolness. Just by reading, it doesn't sound so hectic but it was. But I'm fine now...yesssssss.

One Month
It's been a whole month being here this semester. It feels like an eternity. I have to wait one more month until fall break. However, I'm not coming home. I've decided to go over my friend Scott's house who lives about an hour outside of Nashville. It'll be fun, I can't wait! He still thinks that I'm going to drop out on him at the last second. I've already made up in my mind that I'm going; that is of course something serious happens. But that's the plan. Well, that's about it. Later ya'll.

Why do I look so depressed? Because I'm in the stinkin' lodge! That's why! You'd be as depressed as me if you were in the stinkin' lodge! Ahhh!

Yah!
Hey, if any of you are wondering why you can't post any comments on my blog, it may be due to the fact that I'm a Blogger Beta user and the rest of you just use the regular blogger. I believe these guys are working on it so I'm just being patient.
Girls are awesome!
Peeth out.

Mozilla Firefox
I just got Mozilla Firefox as my internet browser. I don't know why I got it. Maybe it's just my rebellious spirit against Microsoft. Oh well, time to waste time...er...uh, I mean study. Peeth out.

Two Laptops
Okay, so here's the thing. I have two laptops: my rinky-dink Gateway and my manly Gateway. Both have pro and con to accompany them. My rinky-dink is small, loud, and slow but it can connect to the internet. My manly laptop is fast, and sweet lookin! But it cannot hook up to the school's internet. So I'm on my little rinky-dink laptop posting this entry.
Oh yeah, sorry about the whole "no picture thing." It's kind of complicated but I'll try to post some soon. Well, until next time.

Sweet, A New Feature...
Hey, guess what? My laptop has a camera card reader! So I can take the memory card out of my camera and put it in the laptop and put pictures on that way. Isn't that sweet? Of course it's sweet! Yes! Awesome! Ahhh!

More Wi-Fi Places
Hey, everybody. It's been a while, I'm sure. Just a bit busy with classes starting and what not. Funny thing, my internet doesn't work at the school anymore. I think it's because they don't have my wireless address. I don't want to give it to them but I think if I have to in order to get on the internet there at school. But right now I'm at Halftime Pizza. It's a cozy little pizza place. I felt kinda bad coming in using their internet with no intention of buying anything so I just ordered some fries to tie me over. Being considerate, ya know. Nothing bad about that. I still love Buddy's BBQ though. I'd probably go there more than here because it's never crowded there. I've heard stories that this place on game nights are chuck full of people.
Heh, classes are going...uh...they're going. A lot of readinig. I'm taking three Bible classes: Minor prophets, poetic books, and pastoral epistles. And I'm taking a class called Christian Workers Library, in which I have to read Pilgrim's Progress, Foxe's Book of Martyrs, and two other books; along side several assignments. (sigh)...Oh well. There's nothing to it but to do it. Well, I gotta eat these loaded cheese fries, catcha lata!

Guess Who Got A New Laptop?
That's right folks! A new laptop! Eat your heart out Toy!
Good news:
Today, I just purchased a Gateway Platinum edition ML-37 with a AMD Turion 64 X2 processor with a 1GB DDR memory and 100GB hardrive. Platinumberg! And don't forget about the intergrated WLAN card.
Bad news:
It cost $937.91 and I put about $490 down. And I paid for it with...with...my...credit card. I liken it to Egyptian bondage. You get the fish, and the cucumbers, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic(Num. 11:5), but you still get smacked upside the head by an Egyptian if you don't make your own bricks...I'm not making any sense, am I? Oh well, makes sense to me.
Well, I'm going to enjoy this for a while. All ya'll have fun and keep smiling. I know I will be...
