25 + 26

Break = more time = more blogging i guess :)

So the 25th was Christmas Day! and it was a mighty goood day :) I went downtown to nathan philips to meet up with jochan, dorothy, curtis, and ambrose because they had planned to just go around and ask people in the area their thoughts about Christmas and trying to share the Gospel with them by talking about the real meaning of Christmas - the day that Christ our Saviour was born into our world! so i guess i haven't done much of this before... I've been door to door for surveys and at soup kitchens but i've never approached people in public before and just talk about them. I guess my biggest fear is that i don't know what to say (which is why i need to learn more about His Word and Jo showed me this neat idea where she puts important verses in her Bible so she always knows where to refer when looking for a verse :D) but I went with Jo and Ambrose and they're both more experienced i guess you could say so they did most of the talking but i'm just really thankful that they acknowledged my noobiness... and were really supportive :) in total we talked to four people and they were four really great experiences and I hope that I will continue to pray for these four people. And it always gets me how I complain about it being cold but there were people sleeping on the sidewalks downtown and i cannot even fathom how rough that is >_< but this experience really encouraged me to talk to people if God has given me an opportunity. and to really see the need to spread His love and His Gospel.

after that we went hooome and i had dinner with the neighbours and some other families and then went to watch The Tourist since Irene and i really wanted to watch a movie =P but it wasn't a very good movie .... =(

then Sunday we had CHURCH and baby dedication was so cute! haha and today the message was about forgiveness. interestingly this came back up at the end of the day :) (thanks bernard for the talk!) and then we ate korean food, went skating downtown with some church people and it was really coooold but i got to talk to tang, julie, and lise more so i'm happy :) and then my toes froze haha so i got some starbucks. and went back to fairview... shopped for 1.5 hours then went home :) and went to neighbours agaaaain this is the part of the blog where it's not that interesting... haha um yes it was a fun day! thank you God! :)
