Week One

This last week has been very interesting. One of my favorite quotes by Francis Xavier has been “Give up your small ambitions and come East and....” share the good news. Some of the things I learned, we have about 400,000 full time cross-cultural m-workers in the world and only about 10%of those work among the unreached. Interesting? This week made me stop and think through all the decisions that have led up to being here. Before I made the decision to “come east” I never would have imagined myself staying in Asia. But I was talking to Jman, asking if at least for a short while I could go to the “10/40 window” (where the majority of the unreached are). By a short while I meant 5 months, 5 months turned into 7 months, turned into 2 years and I can see myself working on this continent much longer than that. Who knows though, I'm happy to be here and I'm happy for all that lays ahead of me. There was so much more we learned past that quote and a few facts, but I'll move on now.
Other than the school I have been reconnecting with people that I knew from last year, trying to get to know the people that I don't know, I might go do some Sightseeing at Victoria's Peak later today and tomorrow for America's independence day, me and another American might plan something fun. I'll post later to share how being a tourist went and so on.
