We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise - Kelly Willard

MON. MAY 9

Today wasn't really full of interesting things. Well, the phones were
pretty much being constantly used (we have 2 student phones which all
60-some of us use quite often) so I was pretty surprised when my mom
called me to wish me Happy Birthday and I also told her Happy Mother's Day.
so that was handy. Plus that also made my day.

Oh my friend Graham went into Auckland (which is a 3 hour drive from
here) last friday to get his visa and he ended up not getting it because
her arrived at the office there 4 minutes after they closed and the
lady there wouldn't let him inside. Which sucks horribly!! So he made
another trip into Auckland today, came back and told many of us that the
visa place needed proof of an address in NZ, which meant that he had to
make another trip into Auckland at a later date. I learned later on that
he actually made up this story and he was able to get his visa during
his second Auckland trip. However Stacey and Ruth didn't know that he
had made up that part of the story so me and Graham and Mark was in one
it too, all kept the story up until suppertime and Graham finally told
them the truth. Ruth totally freaked out, but she was laughing all at
the same time, so that was fun too :)

This week we have lectures on Apologetics. No, not the cool awesome
parody band Apologetix, but Apologetics as in proof of our faith in God.
Take for example a point that was made just tonight: There has to be a
creator even in small living cells because of he structures within them.
Even in DNA, there at thousands of combinations of amino acid chains
that can be formed, however they need to be placed in the correct order
for them to form the organism they are supposed to. That's like saying
if a tornado was to go through a junk yard, could it form a perfect 747
airplane from the parts that it flung into the air? So this disproves
the theories that some people have of things coming together randomly
and forming an organism. I hope my explanation of this makes sense, sorry
if it doesn't to some of you, i just thought this was a good point to
make :)

Fun quote of the day: "I've been crookified!" Basically Jamie pushed
Ray's chair before lecture started and Ray said that. Sorry, i guess that
was one of those "you had to have been there" moments, but that's ok
because i was there and i thought it was funny :)

Aw man, tonight's my last night of being 18....how sad :( I liked being
18, it was so much fun, especially when you get a debut and you get to
where a pretty dress and have a big meal and celebration for entering
"womanhood" (well that's how i always saw the Filipino tradition). So
ya, this year....there's nothing really .If i was back home I could drink
legally, but that doesn't really matter that much to me because I dont'
drink alot anyway. Oh just now Matt was buggin me about being old. I'm
not old! 19 isn't that old, it's just closer to being seen as an adult.
I think that once you've past 20 you're definately an adult, even
though you may not act or think like one. I think that I'll always act and
think like a teenager, that's my theory. But ya, the next time I write
to you I'll be 19.....goodbye 18 year old Earlene!!!
