February 1st

It rained this morning, but now it is beautiful out.
3 months and a week left. Is it bad I am counting down?
I am missing home today. Needing a hug from someone more familiar.
I am really getting comfortable here now though. However, I wish I new more people that I could go hang out with or visit. Don't have much to do during the days right now outside of getting reading done and the videos I'm doing. Most of the ministries I am involved in are all in the evening. By the way the video cannot be posted online for security reason (students privacy) so they will not be posted on my blog.
I am looking forward to helping out with more ministry planning. Right now we are planning an event called Unchained where youth groups from the area can come and worship together. The Point has been great lately we had 24 students last night.
Saw Black Swan with some of the girls here (all 15), the movie is rated 15 here (have to be 15 to see it). I think in the states its rated R. I definitely agree that you need to be 18 to see that movie. A part of me wanted to walk out, but I couldn't leave the girls there. It was a very uncomfortable movie for me.
Sorry I haven't put up any photos, I really havent had a chance, and I have to be careful because of privacy reasons. I am hoping to go out soon and take some photos. Granted, many of the photos I will have 3 copies of due to the other trips I have made here in the past. I am hoping to take some photos of things I haven't gotten to see in the past.

I will try to get some up soon.

Prayers: Financially (currency exchange), homesickness, meeting new people, self discipline, and that I can really open up to allow God to use me to the fullest while I am here.
