6:15 wake-up.

I think I'm off that "Man-I'm-going-to-write-every-single-day-and-be-happy-while-doing-so thing". I will fully admit that sometimes (like, RIGHT NOW) I don't feel like writing at all. But I'm actually being self-assertive today.

Nathan talked to us last night about Aid Sudan -- what an awesome project. To me, the neatest part is how the organization tries to train and send primarily Sudanese refugees to Sudan as missionaries. Imagine the significance of these people who fled their country, miraculously made it to the states as refugees, and voluntarily returned back to the country, all for the sake of bringing hope to the people unable to get out! Incredible. Aid Sudan is in the process of constructing radio towers so that the southern Sudanese people, whose indigenous language is not written, can hear the Word of God in their own language. And for $20, a person can supply one individual radio, which can transmit to many people at once. Aid Sudan also works on building and fixing water wells and otherwise trying to help the people become more self-sufficient. I put the link up on the right if anyone's interested in reading more about it. It's a great organization.

Nathan also told me that Mary Margaret's sister, I think? is a veterinarian in Birmingham. Nathan said if I ever want a job or internship, I should email him and he can set it up for me. That was an unexpected blessing! It seems like connections and opportunities are popping up all over the place in Birmingham. We'll see where that goes, but it's nice to know that it's there if God leads me down that path.

Ten un manana buena.
:D
