Just got back from the LESTER retreat (student leadership team for Navigators). These retreats are always draining for me, both spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I’m tired because of staying up way late playing cards and talking to a few of the guys on Sunday night. It was also a convicting experience where God showed me some areas and things in my life that he can continue to change. I was also encouraged a lot by the sharing and words of everybody. Some of my closest friends are all currently involved in LESTER as well and they’re just awesome people.

School this week isn’t looking terrible, although I’ve got a few Japanese assignments that will take time and a few other things to do. I saw my conversation partner, Dong Li (Chinese), at church on Sunday and I’m going to meet with him again on Thursday to hang out and talk. He has a wife named Catherine.

Keep on keeping on!
