Wow, it has been another week.
It blows my mind sometimes how that works. The times just flies and flies and sometimes even faster when you are just doing what you can do to survive. I wish again that I had something to report but it was a pretty normal to say the least. I guess the highlight was when I was on exchanges and we went to Pizza Hut. We bought pizza and that was fantastic but it ripped me up. It was too delicious and too greasy. Nothing like what I've eaten for a long time. We are doing it again for District Meeting so don't be surprised if you hear that the North District of the Suriname Zone was sick after their district meeting.
I've been thinking a lot about the reasons for trials in our lives this last little bit. I guess I've come to the decision that we have them to strengthen us and to humble us. I was thinking about this in relation to the OSU football team that just lost to Iowa State over the weekend. They thought of themselves as perfect and perhaps unbeatable. With this loss though they hopefully will accept the reality of their mortality and their utter reliance upon circumstances sometimes outside their control. So it is with our lives. We must rely upon God and his glory. It is pretty humbling.
Out of time but I love you all!
