Today I got up, got ready, and went to breakfast! I was so
excited because it was a free day and also because Bible Study started! Bible
Study was so much fun! Five women that are either professors’ wives or
secretaries host it and we just introduced ourselves today and talked a little
bit about Godly advice. Then, we got split up into groups of 2 or 3 students per
leader for a smaller prayer group which will meet each week! I’m so excited for
the people in my group and I’m excited for what we will learn! After Bible study,
my dormmates and I cleaned the bathrooms and our rooms, and we are so happy
that everything is clean!!
Once the room was clean my roommate Christine and I were
just innocently sitting in our room doing our homework and all of a sudden I
heard her squeal. I looked over and there was a massive wasp just flying around
in our room. We both screamed and ran from the room! We went over to the boy’s
dorm and one of the guys told us that wasps like to be outside so we should go
open our window. The only problem was that we had to open the window from the
inside and the wasp was inside our room. I decided to go into our room and got
most of the way in but ran out when I heard a loud buzz (I couldn’t see where
the wasp was). We went and looked at our window from the outside and were able
to locate the wasp. I told Christine to stay outside and let me know if it came
toward me. We succeeded in opening the window but when I went back outside, I
realized that the curtain was in the way of the wasp so I would have to go back
inside and move the curtain if we wanted to get this wasp out of our room. It
was scary knowing that it could sting me but I moved the curtain back and
thankfully it quickly found its way out from behind the curtain and out the
window into the open air. We closed it up and GOODBYE WASP!!!
Once this craziness was over, I headed to the library for
some quality study time which lasted until dinnertime. Once dinner was over, I
went up and talked to some people then played volleyball for a couple hours! I
figured I had earned it after a long day of doing homework in the library.
Actually for one of the games, John, Jonny, Zach and I played on a team against
four Israeli’s from the Moshav and beat them! We were so excited!!! Yay!
When we walked back from volleyball, there was a line dance
session going on outside by dorm and so we joined in and had so much fun! We
proceeded to have a fun night of hanging out and going on walks, and I am just
enjoying spending time with all the people in our group! The Lord is teaching
me to live well for Him and to shine His light in every way possible! The topic
for my prayer small groups is boldness and my first thought was that I am a pretty
bold and crazy person, but honestly the one thing that I need to work on
regarding boldness is the boldness to share my faith! I’m so excited for what
the Lord is teaching me and has already taught me with the daily interactions
with His Word and with fellow believers! Thank you for your prayers and thank
you for reading this as I get to have this awesome adventure!
