and hurricanes day (2)

new zealand has the best apples. the best... this apple right now is probably literally the best apple i have ever eaten. i've just drooled on myself because of its tastiness and i don't even care. oh man, remember that day way back when i possibly said i was excited to find out about outreach teams... no more waiting. the staff tricked us pretty good... we were in our meeting pre-hamilton evangelism, and we were picking teams of 4, so we had captains. the staff spread out an started picking students until we had 6 groups of 4.. i was pretty stoked about my team. then they said 'k, this group combine with this group (it was corners pretty much) an so on so it was 3 teams of 8 (which i didn't notice cuz i was busy saying how stupid of an idea it was to put 8 people on a team to go do some evagelism..) to which chris came giddely around saying 'your going with pastor vulu.. your going with pastor jare... ' and he came up to our 8 and said you guys are going with pastor michael! i didn't get it for about 30 seconds until i heard everyone laughing and 'whaaat'ing.. cuz i didn't believe it! i was like noooo way.. this team is wayyyy too good to actually be this team. so here is my amazing team: the leaders are steph and nick, flippin awesome, and the students are lucas, alicia, jess, nik and i. (which is 7 i know cuz chris erika anna-rose and tyler were all on the team captains 'team' but they aren't going on outreach so... sneaky sneaky) i'm very very excited... it was cool for about 3 minutes until we realized who we weren't with, and then it got a little hard... really hard for some. (nobody was upset at all with who they were on a team with, but just the reality that our division WILL happen an we won't see each other for 4 weeks, little airport visit then 3 more weeks. then party, then depart forever...) yeah. kinda killed evangelism cuz nobody was really up for it afterwards.. (terrible attitude i know, but it was too bittersweet.. we got evangelized too more than we actually got to talk to people... though me'n annie saw tara again which was cool cuz she was actually walking this time. ji-won is crazy and probably needs a people leash cuz she will go up to ANYONE and talk.. if you look away she wanders off and we find her praying with someone... bahahaha...) but yeah. i'm going to lautoka with pastor michael where we'll be probably doing a lot of work with youth (sweet). the other lautoka group is lead by joe, with students ji-won, annie, john-mark, rims, and arby. they are probably gonna be working with a village outside of lautoka with pastor jare and staying at his house.. the suva team is lead by jacob and crystal, with kristen, rasa, joanna, sylvia and ithy. they are gonna be working with children i think, with pastor vulu. 3 more weeks...ish.. about a month actually. our prayer though really effective, has just kicked off. we tried to do an all nighter last night but it ended up only being me, alicia and john-mark around 1:30. (we didn't do it the night before cuz we were so exhausted from hamilton) but from 11 till that point a few other girls were there and we just prayed and talked and chilled in the prayer room. after they left me'n john-mark passed out immensely quick (probably due to the amazing future-disco dance party we had a few hours before (i'm sure you'll see pictures... it was.. fun.. no seriously. dance parties cannot be beaten.)) but alicia stayed up till 6 doin her thing.. it was her idea to have one an i didn't know she was doing it cuz God told her to fast sleep. good on her! i'm losing my ability to not need sleep. nah i'm not... i just was so comfortable on the floor... so we woke up at 7 an went about our day. sabbath day. on the sabbath weekend. so much chilling... so much studying... non-required.. i love reading now. i finished brown like coffee in 2 days (its only 150 pages) but i (don't call me a nerd) wrote a book report on it because it had so many flippin good points... an i picked up Jesus freaks vol.II from the library, so its not voice of the martyrs like i wanted but its still people living contrary to society for Jesus so i'm happy. should be a solid read... but its huge.. so i'll read slow.. and someone mysteriously left the 24-7 prayer manual on my desk. so i'm gonna read that as well. and hopefully mebe the bible. (not mebe, surely, but hopefully i start studying it as well.) gotta pick up a qu'ran as well... i must be aware! AWAAAAARE!!
