SBS Fun Day

So typically our Saturdays consist of 10 hours of work, which is fun, believe you me. This Saturday, however, was even more fun! We had SBS fun day, mandatory fun, which is always nice to have time that you literally have to take away from working. We went up to some mountain and got to play all morning and early afternoon- we played dodge ball, football (McCall and I did anyway!), and ultimate frisbee. It was such a nice time to be out in God's beautiful creation and spend time with our classmates outside of the silent classroom where all you can hear is the clicking of laptop keys. The more time I spend with the people in our class the more I am blessed by each person. Seriously, God could not have put together a more amazing group of people- both students and staff. There is such a balance of fun and seriousness its unbelievable! Each person truly has a desire to know God more and change the world through what they learn about him. Hear that? Change the world. I go to school with a group of world changers and I am SO excited to see where God leads each and every one of them. Its amazing how each person can act so silly and goofy one minute and then get some amazing revelation from God and start preaching up a storm. It is so cool to see how God uses so many different types of people and personalities from all over the world to bless me! Ha ha, I know that's obviously not each person's purpose there, but sometimes it feels like it. I wish you all could meet them. I'll have to do a short bio on each person, so you can just get a glimpse of each person… they're amazing! (did I already say that?!)

After our SBS fun day a group of us went to the beach for the afternoon, about 15 minutes away and RELAXED! God gave me and my beautiful friend Hannah a pretty sweet revelation of how big he is and how big his love is for us through the horizon and the sky. MAN! After that we came back to our house and made a massive Mexican meal for 11 people, and sat out on our roof listening to Spanish Salsa music… only in Taiwan! Then we went over the guys staff house and played games, you know spoons, well here in Taiwan we play "chopsticks", you work with what you've got, right? =) What an amazing time of fellowship with wonderful friends. It really made me with all our friends, all of you were here with us to share this wonderful adventure God has taken us on.

There's still a chance! While we're half way done with school this week (so crazy!) we still have half to go, if anyone is in the mood to come to Taiwan, let us know, we'd LOVE to have you! =)
