Okay so maybe I exaggerate a bit. The cockroaches here cant kill but they are big! So last night was my long day of serving but everything went really well and God gave me super duper energies. After an awesome worship time with everyone here for the conference (from all over, Jamaica, st Lucia, Trinidad, Turks and caicos, puerto rico, Haiti, Dominica, Dominican republic.... the YWAMs from all over), I entered my bedroom and saw the biggest cockroach I've ever seen. I calmly went to get a paper towel to get rid of it and that's where the trouble began. It had disappeared. Keep in mind my room is very small and narrow and it seemed unacceptable to think that I could sleep in the same room with it and not wake up to it on my face in the middle of the night. For the next twenty minutes Dani and tore my room apart amidst of few screams and FINALLY managed to chase it out of my room where we could more easily get to it. I squeezed a bit of free time in today to rest and run to Kmart. There are three horses now grazing in the field next door, I hadn't noticed them before. They stand right by the fence to try and get the shade from our trees. I've met quite a few interesting people this week and had conversations about the advantages and disadvantages of cross cultural ministries, different types of counseling practices, new visions for reaching the youth etc. One of the main themes seems to be addressing a 'loss of identity', especially in our younger generations. A few more days left of the conference so will be using the opportunities to try to talk to as many people as possible. Tomorrow is housekeeping in the morning and preparing supper tomorrow (and of course anything else in between)
Quote for the day: If at first you can't succeed, swallow all evidence that you tried
