Hobart! A behind the scene look!

Well, lets see, since i haven't updated my blog, and since everyone since asking me how hobart was, then i guess i better write how hobart was.


Lets see, a quick run down of what happened.


Thursday : Arrive, get busking licence (for free) , brief tour of small city, settle into the new room and make a huge mess, start first p n w, with a whole 7 people, although more intense then most p n ws i've had.


Friday: Wake up early do pnw, then..... sit around for too long, waiting to do something. Start doing something, put on really warm cloths, and head up a 1.5 km high mountain. Stop half way up hill to be shown really cold, but nice water, that for some reason tastes a little funny (after a brief discussion we decided that it was not pee from a higher up area on the mountain.) Stop 3/4 up the hill, to look a trees completely covered with frozen ice. Watch everyone (including me) try to eat trees.
Finally reach the top of mountain, wishing i hadn't come. Very cold, very windy, thinking satan is probable very close. Walk around aimlessly, looking at clouds, and trying to be profound about being cold. Finally decided to leave this very ungodly place and head down to another.
Found a path, of rocks, with more rocks to guide your way. Climb up iced over hill, and get to the top, where it is not only freezing, but snowing as well. We decide to go pray somewhere else.


Finally get out of cold, but am taken to a big ass hill to climb. Very tiring, not feeling very godly by the time i got to the top. Start praying. Finish praying. Enjoy awsome view, and realise that god is great, although this mountain should have an escalator. If anywhere you should go for enviromental scenary, hobart is definitly up there.
Make our way down hill, still haven't slipped although nick, andy, and eddy, all have already slipped. Finally make it to flat ground, and ben stacks it horrible. Must have tripped over my pride.
Go to city, find asian guy in kfc, evangelise.... now this guy is more or less confirmed...
Look for toilet.... find very cute looking japanese girl along the way... find out she's 16.... walk away very sad.... of course because she doesn't know god =)
Day2 ends, with good food and pnw and made preperation for tomorrows preaching.


Saturday morning: Bens melencholic personality leads him to be all finished and prepared, but having to wait for about 2-3 hours for everyone else to finish. Practice at home, everyone feels great... high moral.
Go to market. First guy (simon) gets up to preach. No response from the crowd. Fair enough. Ben gets up! Waves arms furiously, yells and screams. Some people stop to listen and watch, probable wondering what in the world this little arm waving asian kid is on about. Andy gets up, and preaches load and clear, draws a nice little crowd. Seems much more 'normal' then ben. Eddy preaches. Although ben has wondered off somewhere so i have no idea how it was.
Preaching over, indulge in lots of food. David (other guy who is in hobart) manages to evangelise and bring home this vietnamese tourist Bao.
End of day 3

Sunday: early Pnw, madly clean up, turn bedroom into church room. Andy left back for adelaide that morning. Service has seven people. First new visitor.... Bao..... probabale gets more intercession prayer that morning then most people get in their life.
Sunday, was quite interesting... but boring at the same time. CCM Hobart, has their first AGM. A whole 5 members, two non-christians. (irony)
End of day 4

Monday; pnw, then go to uni, and go evangelise. Ben gets fed up and goes plays pool. Meets five people. Goes out side, looking for toilet, finds two africans, asks them to wednesday night event.
That night, have big prayer walk. Me, nick and shen ying get funny evil feeling. Pray more fervently. (that's why our prayer walk is in the day :D)
End of day 5

Tuesday: go back to uni, feel really discouraged, listen to someone tell me how to evagelise. walk around not doing much. Not sure what happened the rest of that day. at night, call all random people who we met.

Wednesday: morning, stress about going back unto the front (uni) but people reached decision we should relax. We go have a nice lunch, talk pray laugh. That night, organize pizza night. 12 new people show up! Have a great debate about why christ was needed, and why god killed his own son. Talk about a lot of other random stuff.
End of night, shout for joy, have a really nice pnw. pray.

Thursday: 4:40 am wake to make a plane that leaves at six, say parting words, stagger onto plane. That's it!

Oki, since i'm listening to a sermon, i don't think i will write anymore. But if you have any questions, POST!

Another long time and no posting

Well, it looks like i'm really bad at this whole commitment thing....
Stupid blogging, take so much time, i guess it's not all that bad

Well it's thursday morning 8:37, i've already been up for 5 and a half hours, (don't ask, couldn't sleep)
I'm heading off to hobart with nick, eddie, and andy, should be fun and interesting, a good chance for me to catch up on my bible reading.

No one is dead here, so i guess that's good, all functioning all alive. I guess the worse thing that could happen is that the plane goes down. Just in case it does... i'll see you all in heaven, say hi to my friends for me, and to all those girls i've every liked.... well, you made my life interesting.

Anyway, see you in seven days.
