Okay, so I am curretly watching an infomercial with JR and Kayla about the Insanity workput......and we are convinced that it is a bunch of lies!
Anyways, my day was just Godsent. It was a day full of unexpected turns and laughs and feelings of the Holy Spirit! I woke up this morning early because we had a mission team of 7you women coming in from Arkansas. I was going to help carry in all of their luggage, but they didnt really need a big helping hand seeing that they are only staying here tonight and then tomorrow morning, Ms. Dorcas is leading them on a mission to Gambell (a small villiage on one of the islands). So I woke up and ate french toast, and then went back to sleep for a MUCH NEEDED NAP!! I was seriously sleep deprived. I slept till noon, and I got up to go to Summercise! I love those kids. I know i say it everytime, but i wish y'all could meet them! They are just the image of Jesus and full of Love and happiness!
Today in the Dietetics classes we made Salad, whole wheat banana muffins, and salsa! Twas awesome and the kids LOVED it! It was really cool today how I was able to talk about Jesus to one of the kids following a question they asked me (im really not supposed to initiate those conversations). So I always wear my purity ring as any people know. It is simply a symbol directedto toward myself about the commitment I have to Jesus before anything else!
One of the kids asked "Mr. Emmett, are you married?"It and I responded, "Well no, but it is a sign to show people that I love Jesus more than anythinelse in life." After that all the kids started shouting "ILOVE JESUS TOO!!" It a pretty awesome way to see Christ working in a place he was not welcomed. It even gave me the opportunity to speak with one young man who said he was from down south where he went to a baptist church, but his family has not found one here yet. So i told him about Nome Community! He said he was going to tell his parents and I pray he did :)
I always have to tell a funny story from summercise and so this one was really funny and so cute and sweet at the same time. One of the teachers asked the class which vegetables are leaves that we eat commonly. And some kids raised their hands and yelled "SPINACH.......ARUGALA......" Then a small girl raised her hand with confidence and yelled "SALAD" It was the funniest thing ever!!! :)
After summercise, I went back to the church and helped Ms. Gloria with dinner (which was burgers cooked beautifully by tyler and JR) I ate dinner and It was great! After dinner came the high of my day (which is something my moms always ask me)... I went musk ox wool collecting. The musk ox runs through all these areas where shrubbery and trees are located. As they run through them, their wool gets stuck on the trees and is available for us to collest. Ms. Lisa said that musk ox wool is the warmest wool on the planet. It is also the most expensive. One ounce of apun musk ox yarn costs 200 bucks. So we collested about a full teashbags worth.....which is not alot because it is so fine and light. But it was still magnificent I was literally about 10 feet away from the Musk Ox! It was seriously the coolest thing ive done EVER!
After that adventure, we went home and watched Gnomio and Juliet. Kind of ironic cause im in Nome.....but that was the] point! Today was full if great laughs with these incredible people, and memorable moments!! I love this place so much and it is so apparent that God needed me right here, right now!!
Praise Jesus forever and ever man! He is the best! I love you all, and i pray that the Holy Spirit can use you in a special way today! Seek to understand what God is doing in your life today! Sending Love from NOME ALASKA to one and all!
And again......i didnt really tip a. musk ox, because i would have died. Just sayin! (But i wanted to haha!!! God Bless errrbody!)
