Well, we didn't go door to door. We went to the Kenyatta University campus, were ready to go, and then the guy we were meeting with said he had planned something else. When he told us this, many of us breathed a sigh of relief and one of the Kenyan students, Lilian, said 'Praise Jesus!!!' and we all laughed. Some made fun of those who were most relieved, others claimed it was 'God's plan'.. we all laughed so hard at how relieved we were.

On the other hand, God was convicting me of it at the same time. As funny as it was, I should be bold in my faith! I shouldn't be so worried or nervous. My nerves tells God i'm not confident in the Holy Spirit. So... Sorry God :/ With that conviction comes action though, so I plan to practice sharing the gospel with a person here on the compound. It isn't a speech, but God gives us social skills to introduce the Word without scaring people off. I need to work on that. It's easy with close friends, but I need express the joy I feel because He loves me! I feel it, now I need to share it. The Great Commission isn't an option. We learned that in our Romans study (It related to Romans 5). Jesus didn't say 'If you feel confident enough that you wont mess it up, go tell people about me'. or 'only if you are a good christian should you go tell people'. No, He said that we should GO, and make disciples. But He doesn't stop there!! He also says He is sending a helper. He knows we are insecure and scared. But He knows He is way above that!! The helper is the Holy Spirit, which is God in us. How lucky we are!!

Anyway, tonight was a cool night in the meeting we went to. it was a meeting of the students in the Medical Society that are forming a Christian organization on campus. They recently held an event, and wanted to go over comment cards and just how it went in general. The coolest part was the start of the meeting. They announced that they planned for 70 people to come, and over 200 students came. Jesus? I think so. They went over comment cards and over half asked for info on small groups as well as organizational info. People are SO receptive here. Why shouldn't they be? It's a free gift!! Why can't other countries get that???

Anyway, it was really cool to be around these soon-to-be-doctors that are devoting their lives and careers to God. They so desire eternal life. America shields us from that idea. The Africans walk with Jesus because of what He provides. Americans trust Jesus because it's 'socially acceptable' and live a Christian life that isn't abundant. The difference is so huge... It isn't like those that don't understand an intimate relationship aren't going to Heaven, if you truly believe, you are!! But they are missing out on such a deep and loving relationship with the One who created us. I spend time with God every day... one on one... it's just part of my life. He is with me always. Do I act like it all the time? No. But I know He is with me even when i'm a jerk.

AAAANYWAYYYYY- it was really cool being convicted today. I have seen my emotions go up and down while I've been here. From happy to sad to judgment to fear to anger... All over the place. But I can tell when I allow God to work in me. I can feel it and I can emit service and love like no other... THATS abundant living. Enjoying the gift He gives me.

So we are back at the compound. The cook made chicken pasta tonight which was delicious. But- he made the same pasta without the meat for me :) i'm so blessed!!

Kwaheri!!
