Home Snow Home

Home again... Home again.... So you know you arrive in Saskatchewan in November when you get off the plane and you freeze your butt off. Well not quite because because you ask your mother to bring you a jacket and some mitts. But I was very thankful for snow on the ground when I flew over Saskatoon. I have not seen really snow since January and was really missing it.
But anyways enough about snow. I am doing really good. Being home has been really good. I have been able to catch up to some of the sleep that I have not been able to get over the last 11 months of my YWAM adventure. I am still not to sure exactly what the next year of my life will look like. Let alone the next week. I really do have a strong passion to take a trip to Mexico within the next couple of months. Well that seems to be all that is coming to mind at the moment.

One very long day

The journey back from India. That is one I will never forget. It is hard to explain but lets just say that I had Sunday morning twice. I left India on Sunday at 1:30 am and got to Nashville at 3 pm on the same day, although the journey actually took over 2 days. Crazy I think so too. But thank the Lord the way our flights worked out we were able to sleep at the times that we needed to to work out jet lag. So I think I have offically beat it.
India was one the greatest things I have ever done in my life and I would not change it for anything. It was also one of the most challenging things. God has stretched me in so many ways. But all for good yes. The week of leading was one of those challanging moments. I don't think I ever shared this with you all but I was also in charge of all the team money. So here I was always the one you go for for money. That also means I had to make sure the books where in line and we weren't missing any. I actually didn't mind it but it did take up a long time.
Honestly I think I have a lot of stuff I need to process because the last 5 weeks of my life I have spent in one of most amazing and hardest countries in the world. But it was great and there are some many things that I never thought I would see, and learned things about myself that never knew was there. I feel like I am just blabbing so I will leave you with that.

Oh and I am heathly as a horse!!

India thus far

India has been amazing. And everyday I fall more in love with Jesus. There is so much hidden beauty in India that gets looked over. For example you can go up to anyone and just start talking to them. Also this is one of the most loving cultures that I have ever been in.
God has been speaking to me a lot about my future here in India and I am really excited about it. I know He has amazing things for me. And I am not going to compromise what He has for me. The great thing is is that everything he has been telling me about my future is what I want. So I am not worried about what is to come.
I guess I can get back to India now. We are having an amazing time here in Chennai. The last couple of days we have been doing a lot of friendship evangelism. Which is basically go out in the community and make friends in hope that you can tell them about the love of Jesus. Yesterday we invited some of the neighbourhood kids to come over and play cricket. It was so much fun. Never have I thought that cricket could be so much fun. Oh and it was so hot out yesterday that I got a sunburn. Yeah imagine that a sunburn in November. Something I thought would never happen. I guess that goes to show that you can never say never.
Something else God has been teaching me is that, I have to expect the unexpected. Nothing ever seems to happen the way I thought they would. I guess that is why I am not God. Thank you Jesus.
Peace and love to all!
