Bombs, Rallies, a Park Bench, and a Good Conversation


So things have gotten a little heated over in these parts the past few weeks. It all started when the prime minister nominated a guy to be the next president. Most of the country got seriously ticked off and started holding giant protest rallies against this guy and his political party. Then some people who do like the guy decided to start blowing stuff up with bombs to show their support.

Though it sounds like it's time to run for the hills, my daily life hasn't changed all that much. I still go to school, still hang out with people, still fail at most of my cooking attempts. The only difference now is that I read about rallies and bombs going off in the country.

So with that out of the way, a few weeks ago a group of students came from Louisiana to help out for a week or so, and we ended up meeting a bunch of guys here and even got to go to class with them. To make a long story short, I met with one of those guys a couple of weeks ago and got to share the gospel with him. He said he disagreed with me, but he wants to meet again and talk some more about it.

There may be political unrest, rallies, bombs, whatever, but daily life stays pretty much the same. Let's hope it stays that way.

He is the same yesterday, today and forever. PTL
