So we are heading out of town again for the weekend... again. This will be the last marathon of training before we are done with it and then all we'll need is a Home Study, and for our Background Checks to pass to be licensed Foster Parents. Cool huh?
Work has gone so great lately. There is the one kid who I've been having some problems getting along with. He has serious anger issuses. These last few nights I had his family, and somehow he got me on the topic of Christianity and what it is about, and then he was asking me all sorts of questions, he was saying that he didn't know what he believed in and wanted to understand a few things. He really enjoyed the conversation. The next morning he woke up and told me the night before he had prayed for the first time in his life, and that he liked it. Then last night he came back and said that his prayed had been answered that very same day and he wanted to talk with me again on the same things. Of course, being the 15 year old he is, he wanted to know this time about the end of the world and such... I just gave him a bible, pointed at Revelations, and said get what you can from it. Kept him entertained all night, and the best part is... he didn't try to fight with everyone in the room like he normally does. It's so cool, and such a great feeling when you start to make progress with these kids, start to see them act differently and realize what they have been doing wrong. It has happened to me a few times now, and it's probably the number one reason why I stay.
My best mission companion asked me to send him some pictures from when we were together, and it is taking soooooooo long for it to load. Annoying.
