After being away from blogging for two months, I’ve decided to do a couple more blogs, just as quick updates.
When I first got back from the World Race, a friend approached me and asked if I’d be willing to talk about my experiences in Asia for a women’s Bible study. The theme for the night would be ringing in the Chinese New Year.
So, last Thursday, I celebrated the Chinese New Year with over 40 women of all ages. We had a awesome Chinese potluck and then after dinner I got up, spoke and shared pictures about my experiences in Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong and China. I found out that it’s very hard to squeeze Asia into 30 minutes, but is possible!!
It cracked me up though cause during the question and answer time, I saw a couple of women move back by the doors. Afterwords, they told me that they really needed to use the bathroom, but found my talk so interesting, that they didn’t want to miss out! I got to personally talk with a many of the ladies afterwords who encouraged me to do more with the presentations (many said they could have sat for another 30 min. listening to more) Another neat thing is that I was invited to speak on March 30th for a service. They will be talking about breaking the chains and my part in the service will be talking about the sex trade and Nightlight in Bangkok.
The night overall was a huge encouagement and a high for me. I was really blessed when they took up a love offering for me at the end to help me out with post race life. So, to the ladies at WEB, thank you for the enjoyable night!! Enjoy the pictures!!!
(I feel like I just started the Race. Apparently, even after 14 months of doing this, I still don’t know how to upload photos. I’m using a new disc this time and then thought I solved the problem, but they are still coming up sideways. Sorry!)
