Oh dear, so much has happened in the last month. So I am going to just go week by week and keep it concise, hopefully.
Week 7 was Biblical Worldview taught by the man who runs another school here- the Bible School for the Nations. He taught on worldview and how God is a God of justice. I had a hard time accepting this thought, so I have spent most of this month working through and processing that. We looked at how we need to remove our own lenses of what our world is and put on God's. Only then can we truly see change.
Week 8 was interpersonal week. Honestly, I found it a lot like active listening week. Of just constantly listening and being willing to communicate. He is a marriage counselor, so a lot of his teaching reflected on many of those aspects, but we were able to tie it into friendships and such as well.
Week 9 was special topics week. So we learned about hospitality and social media. During the days of hospitality, we looked at how hospitality radiates the face of God and how He always accepts, embraces, and cares for us. Social media: we looked at how today, many missionaries have a hard time raising support because we have moved to a digital age and many are trying to friend raise in a paper age. We looked at the pros and cons of both of these and how we can actually intertwine both.
These last few weeks have been great, but the highlight was this last Friday, the 19th. I turned in my 15 page research paper on the Thai people and their culture. Such a relief to have that in. Only three big projects left. And then graduation! And onto my next adventure. How did this go by so quickly?!
