Today was another great day. First of all I woke up and went to my Accounting class only to find out the first part of it was cancelled for the day so I didn't have to go back until 9:00. That was a nice surprise. Then in convo today I had to go down on the stage and stand in front with a bunch of people going on missions trip this Spring break (I would say about 60 of us or so). Anyway we all went down in front and they had a dedication prayer for us during Convo, that was kind of cool. The speaker was really good today too. He reminded us all about the things about God that sometimes we take for granted. I thought it was a good way to go about it and I really enjoyed it. Then after convo I went back to the Missions hall and talked to the Aviation Missions Guy some more. He ended up telling me I could join him for dinner tonight and we could talk better. He told me that they usually take a break and go to a classroom in the Science Hall for dinner and they order Pizza and stuff. So I told him I would be there and went about the rest of my day. At Work lately we've been pretty swamped and we always have the benches full of computers to fix. It will be nice when things finally let up a bit. I ended up having a service call to do directly after classes before I went to the shop today. That was a very quick visit and I only had to be there for about 15 minutes before I got the problem fixed. Its always nice when they go as planned. Also I had to leave work in the middle of the day to come back to campus for another missions trip meeting. Today was pretty good one, I got my flight itinerary for our departure and arrival times and we also went over our packing list and things of that nature. We only have a few more weeks before we leave! Its pretty exhilarating... I hope I can learn enough portuguese by then. After the meeting was over I headed back to work for the remainder of the day. As it drew closer to 6:00 I was getting a little anxious though because I wanted to get back to campus for dinner with the Missionary. Finally it hit 6:00 and I was out the door. I got back to campus and hurried to the room in the Science hall. It turns out three of the other piolots were there eating pizza as well tonight, so it was a nice little meeting with them. A few other students had showed up as well, but I had a great opportunity to sit and talk with the main guy from MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship). Basicly I just told him of what I would like to do and some of the concerns I had about it. He ended up telling me a story of how he got into it and he thinks I could attempt to do kind of the same thing. He is going to end up bringing his daughter to LU for college for a weeked in April and he told me if I would like to meet up with him again sometime that weekend we could sit down and draw up some kind of plan to get started. That sure sounded like a great Idea to, so we will end up contacting each other later down the road. It was exciting to meet all of the piolots tonight there. We ended up having Little Cesars Pizza. Its been awhile since I've had that and I forgot how good "real" pizza is compared to the dinning hall stuff. Anyway, I ended up leaving shortly after 7:00 and headed over to church. I was actually pretty late showing up but it was well worth it. Church was alright for the little bit I was there too. They were doing some kind of personality test thing tonight (which I didn't really understand all that much since I was late) but it was still cool. Then we broke up into smaller groups and had a little dissussion and prayer. Once church was over I stayed and chatted for a little while but I wanted to get back to campus for "Taste of the Nations" They were having a little thing in Demoss tonight where you could go around and taste different dishes from around the world. So Allie and I ended up going to that together and we tried as much stuff as we could. I thought it was a lot of fun and the different foods were really good. There were a few I wouldn't choose to eat regularly, but there was nothing I didn't like. It was pretty cool to do that. Anyway after Allie and I had tried everything I walked her back to her dorm and then I returned here to work on some stuff in my room. I actually didn't have too much homework tonight, but I had quite a few other misc. stuff I needed to do. I also talked to my mom for a bit tonight as well. But I really should start getting to bed now. I have a meeting at 7:00am tomorrow so that Means I'll have to wake up at 6:00. Ahh that stinks. Ok.. Good night!
