Okay I know I said yesterday Steve, sorry its like 24 hours late. I do have an excuse though (I mean besides 'I forgot' or 'I was too lazy'). Wanna hear it? k thanks :)
I met with Chris (Light) around 10 to get in touch about ministry team stuff. We went to Fraiche off of University. It was super crowded (but not 40 people in line like Red Mango) so we sat on a bench outside. Midconversation a homeless guy came by panhandling so Chris bought him dinner and we talked to him for a bit. It was cool though, he's new to the area, from Detroit. He was super appreciative and we told him Chris isn't a nice person, but he did it because he's 'a follower of Jesus Christ' and we asked him for some prayer requests. Btw, if any of you guys have an extra sleeping bag laying around, someone stole his, so we're trying to find him one. In any case, that extended the meeting so I didn't post when I got home.
I've officially finished my contract for research this summer, but the project isn't done. There's a lot of work I hope to finish before school starts, but I'm probably gonna be doing stuff into fall quarter at least anyway. I'm kind of bummed about that cuz I'm not sure how much time I have, but at least things are getting interesting. I just look at pictures of bobcats taken from Jasper Ridge and try to match individuals. I finished ochem a few weeks ago too, and took a roadtrip with Karis to her house in Socal. We took Isaac and Jason along for the ride too.
We got amazing shaved ice at Isaac's favorite place near his house, and Karis showed me around her neighborhood (which is super cool! they have wild peacocks running around the streets! hahah) and we got Pinkberry! I feel like its comparable to Red Mango...um and we drove around a lot, went on a date at the Science Center for Body Worlds 3 which was really cool and nerdy if you're into that stuff :p and had a beach bonfire with a lot of Karis' friends. The water is SO much warmer than up here. haha
I went to Jeanette's baptism a couple weeks ago with a bunch of IV friends too. That was super fun, except tragic story: my car got lost and missed Jeanette by literally a minute. Sorry Jeanette :(. But hanging out afterwards was cool and Jeanette's parents treated us to dinner.
Now I'm just chillin around the house and hanging out with friends and trying to pretend I don't have more research work to do. As for the Jesus stuff, I feel like this summer has been themed around being a woman of God. I read a couple books by Elisabeth Elliot I'd highly reccomend that focus on the topic, and I've started listening to a sermon series by Rick Holland (Grace Community Church in LA) about dating/marriage/relationships. Unfortunately I haven't been disciplined at all about doing devos, which tends to be the habit whenever I go home :(. I get really lazy and fall back into hs routine. I've also been praying about ministry team stuff, which recently has brought up some new things I need to consider.
Okay that's it for now. Hope I see a lot of you guys at Back to the Farm!
