Classtime! Every morning from 9-12 we go downstairs to the library (notice all the bookshelves). Each week we have a different module taught either by staff members or facilitators who live close by.
Feeding the chickens! Every Sunday Elda and I go out to the chicken house to fill up their feeders, their water tank, and to collect eggs of course!
Then we wash all the eggs!
Some eggs are dirtier than others...
Ready to eat lunch!Every weekday, students and staff have lunch and dinner together.
Everyday at lunch we pray for Gateway alumni who are on the mission field in various countries. Postcards are passed around to give a bit of info for each person and their prayer needs.
Gilmara, one of the staff from Brazil, listens to Ungchung and Yaojin tell about their day (or maybe they were discussing the pros and cons of ice cream)
Dishwashing Dreamteam!
YongJin and I cleaning up after lunch. All the residents are split into two teams, so we take turns doing all the clean up. Working the professional dishwahing machine is actually pretty cool.
Who says missionary life isn't glamorous? I can get a steam facial everyday!
Every week, each student is responsible for cooking dinner once. So every Thursday afternoon I'm usually peeling potatoes. I've gotten pretty good at it, just saying....
Each night before dinner we gather in the lounge for worship and prayer. It's called Vespers, although I'm still not sure what that name means.
Study time!!
This is actually a more accurate portrayal of what my studying time looks like.
Somehow we managed to go through summer, fall, and winter within one week. These are all the view from our 'backyard'. The little building seen in all three is the chicken house. You can also see the barn on the left in the 'summer' and 'winter' pics.
Also, sometimes I like to have dance parties in my room with the kids.
Praises:
- I'm going to South Africa for my internship!
- New friends!
- Learning more about my weaknesses and how I can put these in Gods hands in order to be used by Him.
Prayer Requests:
- Funding for the rest of my time here in Canada (I'm currently at 76%, contact me if you are interested in giving financially)
- Arrangements for my internship
- Strength, focus, and self-discipline in order to stay on top of my studies
