I should probably start of by telling you that we did paint Meagan Fox's house, as I stated on Facebook. But where the idea come from that it is the Meagan fox from Transformers, I am not sure. hahaha oeps.
The life changing part of Canada for me thus far, is when we set of on a semi Luke 10. We are hiking North and with a loop going to the camp where we will be working for a while. In the beginning we got a few easy lifts, It didn't take lang for us to start making good process. Until one stage we waited for a while. I remembered that people have told me stories before, about asking God specific things and make a list of what their needs were. So I wanted to see how much attention to detail God has in my live.
John 14:13 (ESV) Whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, So that the father may be glorified in the Son.
Lots of things happed on the trains in India. Schalk and I had to sleep together on a bed that is as wide as the distance for my fingers to my elbow. We had to do that for 2 nights now.
This one night we were sitting all together and one unlucky Indian man was sitting against the wall in the corner and doesn't understand English. So we wanted to mess with his head a little bit. We dined like Peter Pan. (Everything we did was fake and imaginary) We talked to the waiter and ordered starters, meals and milk shakes, everything you could think of. Schalk offered the man his drink but he didn't want it, so Rueben drank it. We held our pose as much as possible and had so much fun. The poor man. hahaha.

I really didn’t think I was going to get baptized this year. I was baptized as a baby and thought of it as if it was something I could just tick off in spiritual journey. Throughout this year, up until now, God showed me what the baptism is really about. I have heard teachings and I have read the Bible but never took t to heart. God opened my ears and planted it into my heart that I should get baptized. So that was what happened.
We helped at a church in their gardens. It was fun and everything went well and normal for a day then it happened again, God blessed us out of our minds. The Church said we can borrow their van. We had transport to all the places we wanted to see. Because we had a car so we were on the other side this time. We picked up hitchhikers and gave people lifts. We then picked up a woman from Germany. She loved to travel with us; she
stayed with us for 3 nights: From the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. She bought us food some times and made sure we ate healthier. I think we bombarded her with so much truth that she has to come to Christ soon.
Giving your life to Christ can be so much fun!
