the good left undone
whew
okay i have a few points to make before i really get into this blog,
i just uploaded a few pictures on facebook
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=100624&l=18147&id=567405623
i am also extremely sunburned and kinda of frustrated cause the payphones arent working properly
and the battery is almost dead on this lap top :(
okay i have alot to talk about in the blog.
We've been doing alot of trainging and workshops with hands at work and the more i hear about this organization the more happy i am that i get to be a part of it, they are absolutely incrediable it the way things are done and all that stuff,
in our training we've had the oppurntinty to be apart of some the the programs, we went to cork and belfast and where a part of the home visits to sick patients and orphanges/valnurable children
i saw the first person that i've ever been sure of dying of aids and i watched the worker give her a bath while i sat in shock. Alot of these trainings has really left me wondering what my place here, like God brought me here for a reason im just not sure exactly what im suppost to do yet.
after we visited that patient we went to a house where 3 girls lived , 15. 9 and 4, there mother abanded them and there father is dead, they aren't allowed to have money from the government because there parents are from Mozambique, they didn't had food, we didn't have anything to give them,all i could do was help them wash there clothes and sweep there floor.
i left there feeling numb
that night i found a really really good Bible verse that gave me a amazing amount of hope though
psalms 9:18
The names of the poor will not be forgotten
God has a plan for these kids just like he has plan for north Americans, but i think a part of their plan, is the global church realizing that we need to build these people up.
i wrote this in my journal the other day
"Africa truly truly is a continent of hope where things can and will be changed but i don't think it will change in the western world wants it to...like it wont change right away or quickly, Africa is a wound that will take time to heal and a tree that is going to take time to grow, i am so blessed and absolutely overjoyed that God has allowed me to be apart of this"
so yeah today we went to a youth group annnnd i had to preach a sermon....oh boy....that was really weird and hard for me....and i messed it up pretty hard, like forgetting that the translator had to translate and i just kept talking so he had to try and remember everything i said and the end.
good-ness not good.
i think im going to leave it at that right now
