Scariest Man on Earth???

My friend sent me an email that I thought was cute so I decided I would share in light of the Christmas Season.
All it said was, "How he keeps a positive attitude.....I don't know!"

Slumber Party!!

Last Friday, Sharon and I had a slumber party for the university girls at our church. There were 12 girls that came. We had dinner together, Sharon gave a talk on God's view of woman, we watched movies, played games, and hung out. It was a lot of fun!
Relaxing and hanging out
A little back massage anyone?
Settler's of Catan in Lithuanian
Through out the night we had a drawing and prizes for the girls.

Appreciating Cultural Differences.....

We had some lovely people come and visit us a couple weeks ago. They are technically our "bosses" for Campus Crusade. It was a blast to hang out with them and get to know them more. They are special people. :)
Us girls were able to each have a date with Krista while she was here. Her and I went to the mall to one of the only places that has to-go coffee. We both order a small coffee. Now portion sizes are definitely smaller here. If we are luck, a large coffee is about the size of a tall Starbucks coffee. So Krista and I were waiting for our coffee and I was staring off somewhere and I heard her start laughing. I turned around to see what was amusing her so much and then I saw them. Our cappuccinos......our "small" cappuccinos.......in dixie cups! It was hilarious!
Then later Krista went on a coffee date with Sharon. Sharon was sharing with Krista about the difference in portion sizes and that she needed more coffee today so she was going to get the "mega latte."


It was definitely "Mega." HA HA!





And just for fun, here is a picture of "Hot Chocolate" here:
It is basically a chocolate bar melted down and put in a cup! :0 Yum Yum!

Bible Study Methods

As a team we've been going through the book of Jonah and applying a different part of Bible Study Methods each week as we study.
A couple weeks ago we were going over types, genres, and forms with in Jonah. However, to start the meeting, Matt had certain ones of us on the team (we have decided to remain anonymous), write out a Narrative, Poem, and Discourse (the three types of literature in the Bible) to persuade him never to go to KFC again. The purpose of this exercise was to get a better grasp on the difference between the three types. I would say the exercise was successful and fun at the same time. :)
Here is what people came up with:

Narrative:
"The day that KFC opened I went to Akropolis so excited for the finger licking goodness. I could smell deep fried chicken from two floors down. I got in line, which to my dismay was rather long, but I didn't mind. I would wait for KFC's yumminess. However, 45 minutes later I was starting to think it might not be worth it, but just then it was my turn to order. I went up to the cashier and ordered. The worker was quite unfriendly and disrespectful. I finally got my order in and as I was watching them cook my food I saw the cook sneeze on my chicken! Then it was handed to me on a plater. As I turned it over to start picking at it, I noticed a couple hairs fried in with my chicken! That is was it! I couldn't do it. I was done with KFC! Even the finger licking goodness isn't worth all of that."

Poem:
"
To KFC say bye bye
because if not ,you might get ecoli.
They don't have any good pie.
So if you don't go, you won't die.
There is no big KFC in the sky
So just give it up and say bye bye"

Discourse:
"
Therefore, Matt, in light of the fact that they do not carry buttermilk biscuits and mashers, I urge you to not partake in any meals at the KFC. This is your thoughtful act of kindness to the. Do not conform to the crowds at Akropolis, mindlessly wandering in hoping to try new American delicacies. What shall I say then? Just give in to public pressure? By no means! Instead walk in the path I have set before you- Pizza Hut."

There you have it.
