Today was another pretty good missions class this morning. After that Allie and I sat and had breakfast and we talked for awhile. That was good. After breakfast we went to the Comp lab to try and get some stuff done before her next class. My other classes were cancelled today. It was really good though because I needed the extra time. First I was able to eat lunch today since I was free during that time. I went and ended up sitting with a missionay from MAF and one of the flight instructors here at Liberty. We had a good time dissussing options and things for my life. We also talked about MAF being in Brazil. It turns out that they don't actually have any missionaries stationed in Brazil because in order to be a pilot in brazil you have to have Brazilian citizenship. At first that was a little bit of a let down for me but it led to other good conversation about flexibility and just being open for anything to happen and stuff. So anyway, that was a good time. We talked for about an hour and a half or so. After leaving lunch though I ended up stopping by the Jaars booth on the way back to my dorm and brought up the Brazil question with him. (I knew Jaars had posts in Brazil and wondered how that worked). Turns out what they do is wait for a missionary family about to have a child and send them to Brazil. Then once the child is born in Brazil it will have brazilian citizenship. Therfore the parents can then have a Permanent visa and that is sufficent to get a pilots licence in Brazil. He said they have other ways around that Law, but that is the most common. So, anyway I was kind of worried about that for part of the day today, but it gave me the opportunity to think about willingness to go somewhere completely different other then Brazil. I always knew I would be willing to Go wherever God led, but I never considered that deeply the possibility I might have to go elsewhere. It was at first a let down, but in the end I decided none of that really mattered all that much. I was still releived however when I found out all the loopholes in the system from the Jaars recruter. After all that happend I just went back to my room to work on some more homework until dinner with Allie. Dinner was kind of quick because Allie had to leave and go to another class she is doing on Tuesday nights. But I just did homework mostly for the remainder of the eveing. I really have A LOT to do. Its not very fun. Anyway right now I need to get to sleep. I'm looking forward to tomorrows Convo as Steve Saint will be here with the Indian that killed his father. It should be great. Anyway night!
