Day 15

Today was a great day. The Lord is so good!

We had breakfast at MUBS again today and it was a little tough because all everyone could talk about was the club last night so it was a little awkward but I'm still very thankful that I didn't go. Praise the Lord for this chance to witness to people and prove that I am not of the world but rather of God!

Then headed to the New Vision Office, which is one of the major newspapers here. They gave us a lecture which went on for a loooong time and then we got to tour the place. In the process, we saw a radio station so I took lots of pictures for Christy to see :)

Then we had lunch and headed to the craft shops and a jersey shop to get some more shopping done. While we were there, one of the girls got sick (sad!) and I got the opportunity to help take care of her and serve her a bit. Praise the Lord (not for the sick part, for the opportunity to serve part, haha).

And then we drove down to a restaurant on Lake Victoria to have dinner. It was so beautiful! I can't wait to show you all pictures of God's wonderul handywork :) Parents I know you will like it a lot.
Dinner was so good and we got to sit practically on the beach while we ate. I got the chance to talk to one of the MUBS guys about religion and about whether it should be evident in our lives or whether it should be kept only private so no one can tell. I'm so thankful that the Lord made this conversation happen! Please pray that he got something out of it and that the Lord will use me however He needs to for the MUBS students to all learn about Him!

The bus ride back to Red Chilli from the restaurant was my favorite part of the day though. It had just turned dark so the sky was black but still light black with a ton of really bright stars and the scenery was rolling hills as far as you can see with lights that looked like stars popping up here and there from buildings on the hill. It was just majestic! I had my Ipod so I put in some worship and just sat there for the whole 30 minute bus ride worshiping and admiring the beautiful creation. It was so nice to be able to re-connect with God. It's not that I was disconnected from Him before, but now I feel so much closer to Him. I really needed that. It really go me thinking about my motives for things. Am I sharing with people because God is amazing and I want them to know that? Or is it because I feel like it's an obligation and I have to have something to write about? Am I looking at these people as projects or as God's loved ones who are a little lost right now? God is really helping me get on the right path with this kind of stuff. He is teaching me a ton about what my attitude should be. Praise the Lord!!!

Prayer requests:
-a godly attitude
-soft hearts and boldness!
-love and ways to show it
-that we will glorify God with everything we do
-for my time with Michelle here, that we can sharpen and encourage each other
-for relationships to be built that can be cultivated after we leave

Thanks for the prayers and loving!

Love, Loren
