Many different people stay at our hostel. A few days ago, there was a school group here from Kazakhstan. If you are wondering where that is, I had to look it up too. It is Below Russia and above China. After listening in on their awards presentation, then taking group photos of them with their camera, a couple of them wanted to stay and either practice their English or talk to a REAL American, I'm not sure which. So we chatted for a couple of hours about everything including politics. They thought all Americans loved our current president. Near the end I asked them what religion they believed in, and one was I think Buddhist and the other claimed Christian. To the Buddhist I was able to ask a few probing questions that may make him think about what he really believe and does it make sense. He believes what he believe because that is what he was raised in and I'm not sure he had questioned whether it was the True Religion or not. This is one of those instances where our director is right, that whenever we leave the classroom, we are entering the missions field. I am not sure the girl was really a Christian because they did a lot of talking in their native tongue before answering my question. However, maybe our missionaries are making progress.
Now to Weather
It has been cloudy, rainy, and windy here. It doesn't seem to stop raining sometimes. It seems to be prepping me for the return home. But oh how I miss the sunny weather from Italy!
