WOW what an amazing weekend it has been thus far! allow me to highlight!
Friday Sami and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of art with our international buddy Kathy! It was soooo amazing! We spent like 4 hours there and prolly didn't even see half of it. I was sure to go to the painting exhibits before we left ( I was not leaving without seeing Van Gogh and Monet)...I got to see more Warholl, Matise, Picasso, Pollock :) AND I seriously could not contain myself when I saw two whole rooms dedicated to Degas (my 3rd favorite) A room and a half dedicated to Monet (my 2nd favorite), and a partial room dedicated to Van Gogh (my number 1) I could stare at if for hours, I was just amazed! Sami and I actually got to have some really good spiritual conversations and eventually got to share the gospel! It was a great start to what hopefully be more conversations! Please pray that the Lord will continue to work on her heart and that she will put her trust in Christ!
Friday night our entire project went to a minor league baseball game on Staten Island! It was a ton of fun! On our way over to Staten Island a huge thunder storm came out of no where...they had to delay the came a couple of hours but we eventually got goin! It was such a fun atmosphere...like urban city meets small town community. Seriously so fun...and our group package got us unlimited food (well hot dogs and hamburgers) and free hats.
TODAY :)
So today ROCKED! I got to catch up on some sleep...went to the Wicked lottery at 11:30 to try to get tickets for the 2:00 show but failed :( After that George and I went walkin around the city, ate lunch, and then gathered together some others to go throw the frisbee in Central Park...which was so fun! It was sunny all day(except for a 5 minute monsoon), which has not happened much since we have been here! LATER I went to the Wicked lottery again to try and get tickets for the evening show...AND I WAS THE FIRST NAME CALLED! Apparently my face was pretty priceless...and I know it had to have been because the called my name and i was like what? and just walked up there...I was too shocked to be excited :) but that swiftly changed as I went back to get ready. The show was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!! The set was AMAZING, the chorgraphy was AMAZING, the singing was INSANE, the flying monkeys FLEW over our heads! ah it was beyond awesome...not to mention if you win the lottery you get FRONT ROW seats for only $26.25...INSANE !!! So needless to say it has been an amazing weekend and tomorrow is gonna be sweet too because it is Sunday :) yay!
Glad to hear the you had the opportunity to present the gospel to your buddy! Woot! --- and yes you are lucky that you got Wicked tickets! I never won the lottery last year. Tell your friends if they aren't lucky - that Wicked is coming to Durham, NC this season! :)
