Well well well
well it is time, i currently have 2 days left in my five day stretch of work days and i am so excited for my next day off you have no idea. i am not tired from physical labour i am merely exhausted form greeting a group of people where half of the people you greet rarely acknowledge your existence. Being a servant is hard but i have never been a servant to a people so blind and who purposely show that they don't appreciate you a single bit...at least they are honest. other than that my experience here has been like none other. i mean i am at the olympics and by the time i am anywhere near them i will be at a ripe old age. the other day i was just running my mouth off jokingly around other kaleos pretending my dad was John Furlong (Prez of olympic committee) and some of the other volunteers believed me and asked why i was volunteering. a great way to start speaking about your bible school experience to strangers. The experience at the olympics has quickly lost its novelty value and is now turning into a real work experience. It is really hard to serve at a place where its purpose is to promote world peace for a time period of a month but during the process stomps on on the human rights of the homeless and promotes countries to spend millions of dollars towards entertainment and making a name for there own nation. i Ask for prayers of peace of mind and heart and most importantly great conversation opportunities with soft hearts and open ears involved. Living with everyone is nice, but i want more room. people are always loud and it is hard to find a quiet place to do anything, its not a bad thing and it may seem like I'm complaining its more of me being bugged and a need for space, i find myself spending a lot of my time on the roof of the church to be away from people. The time here is excellent it has really turned into an exhausting mission trip and we are all in this together.
