Heeeey Kaleeeeooooo
Hey Kaleo...
So there've been a few developments that some of you know about, but some of you dont, and I figure this is the best way to tell you all about it! Plus, I'm a little bored, and Dotto compelled me to do this a few days ago.
First off, a brief synopsis of my year: Working for Cal MacFarlane = great, but time consuming. Working in the dorm as an RA = even greater, but more time consuming. It's been a real learning curve, but it's been a privilege. Taking 42 credit hours of classes this year = VERY time consuming, almost all-consuming. Truly an exercise in time-management, and learning to be faithful in the little things. At the moment, I'm in Winnipeg doing a practicum at the University here. I'm teaching Academic English to foreign exchange students, and it's been a very cool experience. It's involved a lot of alone time, which has been both refreshing and challenging.
This summer, I'll be tree planting again in BC, then flying to my brother's wedding in Newfoundland, and then flying to Kabul. I'll teach in Afghanistan for six weeks as a part of my program at Briercrest...I'm pretty excited about the opportunity; things have been lining up and the path is being made straight, and I'm kind of just following a little blindly but trusting that this will be part of God's work, in me and in others. Don't worry, it's a safe northern part of the country, I'll be fine...but some prayers would be swell.
Finally, may as well make it official and let you all know that I'm dating a cool girl named Keltie, who is currently backpacking in Australia with her brother. No, it isn't on my facebook status, but I like you guys and want you all to know about the important people in my life.
Things I'm learning, of varying importance:
Chinese. It's difficult.
Prayer sustains me. When Jesus is my center, I think I will be okay with not knowing precisely the details of his will for me.
Adverbial time clause subordinating conjunction is a complicated way to say "when."
Sometimes I'm motivated by pride instead of glorifying God, and I can fool myself to think it's okay.
Shockingly, I'm not always right.
I love you guys
Rob
ps. Kurt...update?
