Miscellaneous Missionary

One thing I learned this last week about Coimbra was that it has the second largest drunken social for students in the world, second only to Munich. This social has been going on for about a week now, and should end tomorrow. Needless to say, it is not too advisable to be out at night. The other downfall, is that there are concerts about a half-mile away and they make sleep at night a little hard. However, I am getting through it. The students take their ribbons that they earn throughout their course and burn them and then celebrate the nights away. The saddest part is that as I went to church services yesterday morning, there were people passed out drunk on the street and lots of garbage. It is yet another reminder that we live in a world of people with mixed up values and foolish moments that bear rotten fruit on the future. All is not bad, I had a great time of fellowship and spent more time with good Christian friends this week.

Please pray for my studies as the course is drawing to a close this month.
Please pray for my upcoming summer as it comes with more travel and meetings.
Please pray for the team in Mozambique as it continues to work at preparing the gospel in the tribal languages.
