New People and Places

Over the next several weeks, I will be writing about new people that I meet here and new places that I have discovered or learned about from friends.

First, I have been walking around my part of town lately to see what I can find. Just, this evening I have discovered a coffee shop around the corner from my apartment. This makes me happy! I also have been to several of the parks in town which are quite nice. Not far from here is Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, his burial site. Mongols revere him as a god often, and so this is their religious shrine. I have not visited there yet, but many of the students want to take me. Ask that Father's presence would be known there and that He is the one true, living Gd. Further, I have several places that I will write about later after I have experienced them first hand. My city is fairly small, but I like it that way. It has a somewhat quaintness about it like my home in America.

Today, I want to write about some people who have become special to me. First, there is the lady who I buy water from every morning. She runs one of the shops right next to school, and so I buy 3 or 4 bottles of water from here daily. We have chatted a little, but I would like to talk more with her as time progresses. Second, there is the lady who runs the store on the school grounds. She is very nice and she helps me out with some things. I buy my Pepsi and Cokes from her when my supply has been exhausted. According to my students, I drink way too much of it. But, to American standards, I hardly drink any at all. Oh well, life goes on. My kids English skills may not be the best, but they all know how to tell me that my Pepsi will kill me very soon. To them, it is the worst thing to do to your body. Meanwhile they are out sucking in carcinogene after carcinogene from cigarette smoke, smog, etc. I laugh it off. Back from my rabbit chasing to introduce my favorite lady. She is the commander of Line One -- Second Floor in the cafeteria. She takes care of me. One day, one of the other workers handed me my tray of rice and main dish. She was not happy with the quantity of rice on it for me. So, she quickly added about another half-laddle full of rice to my tray. She smiles greatly as she then now hands me my tray. She also knows what I want when I come through her line. She is a very sweet lady.

I am telling you about these people and places so that you may be lifting then up to Father for Him to work in their lives and to be a constant presence among the places.

More to come!!!!
