So just 2 weeks ago I did something really scary! I was just really scared to do it because I've never done something like that before. Like months ago, I was playing a game at youth group and I kicked my toe against the leg of a chair while running. It turned really blue and slowly it started turning black. BUT THEN! It started turning white in the middle. I was extremely confused and really couldn't figure out what was going on! But like a month back, I kicked it on something at the beach then the left side of my left big toe nail started coming out. But the right side was still stuck on my flesh. It really hurt especially when I would accidently kick it on invisible objects on the floor. So finally a good friend of mine who knew some doctors here decided to take me to the hospital to pull the whole toe nail out! Here are some pictures that you might puke at, but I mean if I'm going to keep a blog, I might as well update you guys on EVERYTHING right :P I even kept the toe nail!! HAHA
EEEEEE... look at that!
The really nice Cuban doctor really pulling out my toe nail there with all his might and strength!!
Trying to pretend I'm really all calm and collected when I was really quite nervous!!
But now it's all good and growing back nicely, hopefully in time for November so I can paint it! (: I've been really dark also! How do you know when you've become really dark? When people start asking you if you are Chinese-Timorese or Indonesian!! Yup, I'm that dark now, you guys will see when I get back! Ha
Anyways, I shared in Tetum for the first time at youth service just 2 Saturdays back!! I spoke briefly about Worship and was kinda hesitant to speak in Tetum because I knew I would not be able to express myself as easily as I wanted to. But with the encouragement of some friends, I continued and finished everything in Tetum! Haha, man I was thinking these people will not understand what in the world I am speaking about. But at the end of it, one of them said that God really did speak to him during the sharing so that really encouraged me! It really showed how the Word of God speaks for itself, it doesn't care how good you are or how well you deliver it, it just seeks for a vessel willing to be used (: Glory to God!
I had other things I wanted to say too which I completely forgot so maybe another time! (: Missions Sunday was yesterday and we had such a good time! We rented some place facing the beach and decorated everything (: More pictures next time because I didn't bring them with me today! Missions is just so much the heartbeat of God! (: I was just preparing some pamphlet things for this Missions Sunday so I had to refer to our 30th Anniversary big booklet that updates our missions work. Just flipping through it, my heart just got so excited, I just cannot believe God has called me to part of this big movement all around the world to extend His Kingdom! What an honor!! (: And one day I'm sure many others would go too!
Missing everyone alot, cannot wait to see you guys in less than 3 months' time!! (:
Love,
Gladys (:
