today, at TM Cup- this lady told me my personality through my fingerprints, i'm 40% feeling, 40% instinct, and 20% goal-oriented.
a lot of the characteristics talked about how i am feeling and the instincts were above and beyond normal, and i thought that was so cool because the way she said it pointed it straight back to God.
Also i had two great conversations, one with Nia about studying and not studying, and then one with Vina, just about things going on- we talked! They talked! That's a big thing here. it really is. it's amazing, and i'm lovin' it.
some other interesting things are that last night i was eating chicken and i looked at this little black thing, and it looked like. AN EYE! inside i passed out for a second, came to my senses, set it down- with my heart pounding- and asked mama if that was the head of the chicken. it SERIOUSLY LOOOKED LIKE IT! we confirmed with Mbak Iin that it wasn't, but i seriously couldn't pick it up again.
Today, also at TM Cup, i was getting really bored becuase both Vina and Nia left, BUT THEN God surprised me with fun. this guy started dancing, and i was thinking how that definitely wasn't exactly how you dance and how someone should show him. Then my friends- who was everyone there- started to look at me, and got me in. it seriously was a dance-off, a small one, but a dance-off still. I won! it was so much fun!
elise, please be reading this- cause you'd be so proud, and we would laugh about this :)
tomorrow is the closing for TM Cup, and i'm going to my grandma's birthday, which is exciting, cause my cousins Rock! and they talk, and we all talk, and i'm stoked. and then i'm going to the closing ceremony for TM Cup,. where i was supposd to sing, but we havne't pra cticed anything so i don't think i will. and on sunday we go to Church!
ALSO~ i got into the choir at Morning Star Indonesia!!! WOOHOOO!!! it's a gospel choir, and if you look up Israel Houghton or anyone like that. Fina Wowor- is the leader, she's got a CD too. you'll hear what ii'll be singing. I'm SO STOKD! i'm singing on Nov. 21 and 28 as far as i know at this momemnt.
Those are my updates. My updates updtes updates. and this is normal here. so i didn't really know what to say at first.
FOOD also- the indonesians have a gene where their metabolism is wicked high, so they can eat anything and nothing changes. but bule can't.
thing is- they take advantage of that a lot by eating MORE junk food than i even eat in america. Everyone eats everything, and tons of rice. but thing is, there's not a ton of exercise in the city, and they just eat tons of fried food. So i'm trying to do my best at eating well, and doing 500 situps every other day, UNTIL someone says to try a food- cause OF COURSE i have to try it : ) and popcorn at movies.
that's manditory, it's my fix here in indoensia :)
ccause movies are one thing that connects me to america. it's pretty nice. since movies are like $1.50 since most of the DVDS are pirated.
it feels like we live in a mess, but we live here. our city is messy, our government is messy, religion gets messy. but we live here. and God works here, and it's amazing. and God is going to start working like crazy *gila* here in this coming week :) i'm super excited!! :)
this is really fast, cause we're about to watch a movie. but i love you all. and i hope everything is doing totally fine.
love you all! please be praying for me to remember and talk to God throughout the day. CAsue i'm here becuase of him, not becuase of me. not at all.
ok
be praying. love you all! pictures are coming up soon.
