blueberries are high in antioxidants

"If and but can't count to zero." An Indian man told me that Shakespeare once said that. I'm not so sure...

Anyway, this next week is our last week of ministry here, so a lot of conversations need to be tied up. I plan on seeing Kitty and Peace this week, along with Mrs. Clause and the preschool children that I have grown attached to. I will also have to say goodbye to the women we work with, which will be sad.

Yesterday was a really good day with the women. Jess, one of the girls on our team, taught self defense yesterday. It was fun to do something different than stitching or teaching English. We all joked around, pretended to attack each other, and just had a good time. And it was really helpful, too. So if anyone ever tries to attack me, I could try to fight them off. Just saying.

Something I was thinking about on Sunday was how much I love going to church in other countries/cultures. On Sunday nights, there is Hindi church, which, if you can't tell, is a church service in Hindi. People translate so we can understand, too, but it's just really awesome to watch these people worshiping the same God I worship in another language. Hindi songs are great. I've learned a few lines of some songs. I plan on getting the rest of the words before heading home, though.

So, while I'll be home soon, it's still significant to say that we still have one week left. Not only one week, but still one week. Please pray for focus, unity, and perseverance.

"So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him 'This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: "...Let my people go, so that they may worship me." ' "
Exodus 10:3
God wanted the Israelites to be free from slavery so they could worship him. So, we can either be a slave or worship God. Though we are not actual slaves, we can become slaves to our sin, to other idols in our lives, to other people. God wants to set us free from that. Jesus died to set us free from all of that so we can live to glorify him. Because at any moment, we are worshiping something. Look at your priorities, what you spend the most time doing, what your motives are...and that is what you're worshiping. So remember that Jesus wants all of us, especially our hearts, because everything we do stems from out hearts.
So be a slave or worship God.

I will be home in 2 weeks. See you all soon.
