Wow,
it's already approaching the end of the first week.
I landed on tuesday...even though the arrival time was 3:30pm... getting home took the entire day. After a couple of stops, the drive home, and dinner it was already eleven at night and time to sleep.
The next day, we went straight to work. We filled the seminary tank with water and had to transport it, but on the way...the truck broke down. There was a lot of back and forth...waiting... there was even a time when I was left to guard the truck while missionary Choi and missionary yang went off to buy parts... It didn't seem like we did much, but another day passed.
Thursday, I spent the entire day at the school. we're getting the school ready for the graduation...so i spent the entire day painting. It wasn't much, but because of the heat and the sun...i felt completely drained.
Friday, missionary Choi and I went to Dar es Salaam...the capital. He had to take care of some things at court and also buy parts for the truck. There were soooo many people... all kinda staring at us as we walked by. a short time was spent at the court house and the majority of the day was spent going from place to place...getting random things done.
Today was Sunday worship. It was good to spend the day with the seminarians... it doesn't seem like i saw them at all this week. I did say hello and was able to spend thursday with a couple of them... but it doesn't seem like much.
Tomorrow, i'll be picking up grace chung. Going back to Dar es Salaam again.
I know nothing signaficant was said,,, can't really sit and digest much. for now and until the graduation... i'll be running around like a chicken with my head cut off... whatever missioanry choi tells me... I gotta do. that's pretty much it.
My apologies for such a short summary... but even now, i have to run out soon. God bless everyone.
one thing i can say is please pray for missionary choi and missionary Yang. They need their prayers. They are tired. hopefully they will have some time to rest in Korea. They also need healing.
Please pray for me.
Thank you everyone!

Dubai~
I'm at Dubai!
this place is ridiculously huge and confusing. it's only gotten bigger from last time. they made a whole bunch of additions....
it's more like a giant mall than an airport....
uuugh... i am coming down with a cold. i was freezing on the plane. thought to myself....don't need a jacket. i'm going to africa... well, they were blasting the air conditioner on the plane... now i have a headache and chills...
anywho~
one more hour and i'm on my way.
Did a lot of thinking on the plane. travelin' alone stinks. especially when you're not feelin well. so i'm going in and out of consciousness, random thoughts poppin' up. it's the same stuff. excitement. nervousness.
honestly i am getting tired of it all. I'm just gonna go do it. enough of this whining. Hana-nim must be very dapdaphae (God must be frustrated).
however, if you can please pray for my parents. Out of everything, i am worried about them the most. They were on the plane, saying stuff like "even they didn't do anything for me and my brother...God's provided for us". I almost lost it. T-T
Whew~
anywho! i'm off everyone! people are glaring at me because they want me to get off

Two weeks.
I get really scared and anxious. It comes in waves. I try to pray... but it's overwhelming. I'm leaving in less than two weeks. That's crazy!
Prayer
I feel like I'm building a cage around myself. I want to be free and go as you lead, but as I get older there are more and more things that I should think and worry about. Am I being irresponsible or does this thought come because I am still unable to lay it all down?
God, because you are not in a box... I don't want to be in a box. Obviously, I'm just a human being and you are God. I am limited and you are infinite. But if you are calling me... I'm going to step out of those boundaries because Your will be done. This is a statement of submission, obedience, and surrender... but most importantly "Your will be done" is a stating of the truth. So infinite God, give me the faith and courage to embrace this truth and know that you God, will make the impossible things happen while I will bear witness and participate.
I will also bear witness to your provisions, Provider God. You know how to give good gifts to me and those I love, those I am worried about. Continue to prove Yourself to me. Though it says in The Sciptures not to test You, God... you were kind, mericiful, and generous to Gideon. You bolstered his courage through acts of miracle and dreams. God, have mercy on your servant. My faith is weak and I need your stregthening.
God, I pray that Tanzania will be one of many opportunities to serve you. I don't want to miss out on even one because I was afraid or because I did not trust. I don't want to get distracted by the noise of 'the things I should be doing or worried about', and not hear you calling. My only responsibility is to believe and obey. Give me the wisdom and intimacy to learn your voice and to move ONLY when YOU call.
