aida

i bought my plane ticket yesterday.

for october 15th - march 5th

even though the consulate said they were only sending a 3 month visa... just pray i can get it renewed while there. eh?

so in this next weeks mail, i can be expecting-

my plane ticket [because apparently they do it that a way, it being international, and all]

my visa, including my passport that was sent out with it

my tevas i left at aleah's in portland

and a hammock i got off of amazon for 15.50

something happened this morning, that might not be that big of a deal to anyone else... anywhere else in the country.

but for me, in utah...

i was thoroughly blessed by it.

so... at work a couple pulled up to the drive through window that is our coffee shop, and we got talking, and they were from central california. i told them i just moved back to utah from murrieta after going to bible college for 2 years, and they asked what i was doing now... and i proceeded to tell them how i'd be moving to china in a month, and continued on making their drinks.

as i handed it out the window to them and as they were driving away, the wife in the passenger seat yelled across how they would be praying for me in china.

i know it's really not THAT big of a deal...

but random encounters with other christians in utah that offer to pray for you... without even knowing my name, at that, DON'T happen.

i just love how we are the FAMILY of God.

ya know?

ivan and i went and saw Aida tonight at my old high school

of all the shows i saw on broadway those 4 years ago,

aida was my favorite.

so i knew it'd be a tough act to follow...

it wasnt BROADWAY, but tuacahn sure didnt disapoint.

it might just have something to do with the atmosphere.

where we saw aida tonight is in an amphitheater, and sitting outside at 9 at night, with not a single bug bothering us due the dryness that is St. george... isnt something i'm going to have for too much longer.

today was a good day.
