Today, we had to fill out our evaluation for the internship. What should probably have taken an hour max - took me over 3 hours. I really enjoyed filling it out (most of it) and enjoyed working through my reflections and thinking through different things.
One of the things it really helped me to do was to begin to think about how the internship has impacted me, and how am I ever supposed to communicate those impacts to people back home! So much has happened and so much has changed, and I'm still trying to put all that together and process it all, let alone being able to share that with others. It's exciting to think through though!
So, tomorrow is really our last day together before we all fly out on Saturday. This week has been a helpful week of study and training, but also a valuable week to begin wrapping up. I'm still not totally figured out, but getting there. I want to be totally at peace with where I am up to by the end of tomorrow. We'll see!
One story: So we went out on OJT one afternoon this week and after visiting a friend in the market, we went into Chicken Express to get a coke. While we were in there, I said to my team, 'Ok guys, we can't just hang out in here, let's talk to someone!' So we spoke to the closest guy, who turned out to be from Vanuatu! We were able to ask him a few questions about himself, and we learnt that he went to church every week, read his Bible regularly and wanted to live the Bible's way. I wasn't sure if he was a true Christian or if he was trusting in his works for salvation, so we shared the truth of how Jesus saves, and Jesus alone! And he said, 'Yes! That's what I believe!' Awesome! We didn't have a lot of time to continue the conversation, so we shared some details with him, so he could connect with people back in the church in Vanuatu. We gave him a gospel tract which explained the truth we had shared. He loved it, so he took another one to share with someone else. It was a really encouraging time talking and sharing with this man!!
And this photo is not posed...it's just a sneaky shot I talk while I was sharing!
