Fourth Week in San Francisco

            This week has completely given me a new passion for bible study. I never thought bible study could be exciting.  I’m currently studying the book of Jonah. It’s still in progress, but it’s been a new whole thing. Most of us see Jonah as the guy who gets swallowed by a big fish, but as I study it, there are much more than saving Nineveh (the city that Jonah was sent to by God).

Art (the speaker this week) is a really great man. He is really generous. He kept treating us to In-N-Out. He bought us donuts also, but that’s not what makes him great. He has such a passion for bible study. It’s contagious! He gave us a Message Bible, which was really good. I use it for my devotional; it’s just so much easier to understand. Art also told us about different Bibles and why there are so many.

Every Friday we’re released to do ministry on our own. We’re given a partner to do it. My friend, Mike, and me did something different for our ministry. We cut a piece of cardboard and write, “Free Prayer”. We were making a prayer station. We also decided next time that we’re going to bring our guitar so we can attract people. We’re going to do worship songs. So please pray for us and the other students with their ministries.

My friends and I found a new type of dancing from France. The movements are random and fluid. It’s called tecktonic. We have fun doing it, even though we don’t know what we’re doing. We looked silly, but that’s the point. We laugh at each other.

I also met a friend that I haven’t seen for almost 5 years. I get to see her on Saturday. I basically spent the whole day with her in an Indonesian community eating BBQ. This week is also Fleet Week. There are fighter pilots flying around doing aerial acrobat. It was a good day.

Tomorrow, we’ll be studying about spiritual warfare. I really don’t know what to expect. I heard that the speaker is really good. Well… Learning new things everyday. Thank you for the prayer support. Miss you all. God bless!!!
