Do you ever get that feeling that you have forgotten something, but you just can't quite figure out what it is. Well I had that last night. I packed a lot yesterday and did lots of sorting through of my stuff, I made piles for the Fiji portion of outreach and the New Zealand portion, and stuff that I don't need for outreach. I did all of my laundry yesterday. It was 4 loads. My clothes took up the entire line at the back of our cottage, plus a load in the dryer. It was an intense amount of laundry. After sorting and such before bed, I was ready to sleep but I felt like I had forgotten something. I couldn't figure out what it was though. It turns out there were actually 2 things that I had forgotten.
The first was that I had forgotten to write my blog. I think that was the first time that I actually forgot to write it.
This morning at 6, Sarah came in and woke me up. I said "CRAP!" Our outreach team was meeting for an early prayer before breakfast from 6 to 7:30. I completely forgot. So I jumped out of bed, realized that I was not wearing pants. Found some pants. Grabbed my bible and ran out the door. I think I may have accidentally slammed it. Ooops. Then I started sprinting to the A frame. And Hannah D poked her head out of the prayer room door. Apparently we were praying in the prayer room. Who would have guessed?
So I turned around and went to the prayer room. Hannah started laughing at my face. I had white blotches of acne cream all over my face. My entire chin was white. I had some white dots on my cheeks and a white cross between my eyebrows. Embarrassing. Sarah asked if I anointed myself with acne cream every night before bed. No, but apparently my acne is in the shape of a cross... probably from anointing oil that is constantly put on my forehead. Hannah tried to wash the white off with her saliva. It didn't work, so I just left it for the whole hour and a half. I saw Van snickering.
Then we decided to walk to breakfast together as a team, but Aleisha had to go to Kids Club this morning. So luckily Brent was on his way to breakfast too, so he took Leish's place. He even gave himself a gimped arm (Leish has a broken hand), and a hunchback and a limp to make himself more like Leish. I don't know when or where Leish picked up a limp or became a hunchback. But it was pretty funny.
To conclude missions week, we basically just got really pumped about missions in the world. Missions are so important since the great commission tells us to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth! There are something like 2.1 billion Christians in the world and there are about 7 million people on the Earth. So if each Christian told 3 people about Jesus, the whole world would know. Craziness. Yet the whole world is yet to hear of Jesus.
My outreach team is apparently 'favoured' because we have had all of our funds in for over a week, and other teams are still waiting to have all of the money.... and some of them leave Saturday morning at 1 AM. Bahh! But it will come :)
Today was a beautiful day. It was nice and warm and sunny and we just packed and packed and got the odds and ends that we need in town before we leave.
I took my nose rings out for the first time in years, because I need to change the hoops for studs. It was so weird when I took them out. I finally was able to pick my nose in a satisfying fashion. And the inside of my nose which has been covered by the rings for years was so itchy. I just sat with my finger up my nose scratching for a while. It was nice. Then I put some studs in. I don't like them. I want my rings back. I can't wait until after outreach :P
My cottage is having a partay for our last night together tonight! we have tons of food and we are gonna sleep all in one room! So I gotta go get my party on!
