These last few weeks

  Hey Everyone,
      I thought it would be good to update everyone about what's going on here in Closkelt.  It is very cold, I woke up this morning and it almost looked like it was snowing but it was just really foggy.  
      This week we are learning about how to tell a Bible story accurately in ten minutes, we have a speaker from Storys for All ministries, and the base purpose for this is to be able to relate the bible to Illiterate people.  It is a very awesome tool to have as a missionary because you never know if you will run into an illiterate people group.  
      This week we are also doing a thing called scripture union, which is basically were we go into a school and spend time with school children, teaching them bible stories and playing games with them.  My group is doing The Good Samaritan, and we go tomorrow (Thursday) for a few hours. 
      Last week we had an awesome week of lectures about Discipleship  and what it means to be a disciple and methods to be a good disciple and disciple some one well.  Our speaker was really awesome, he had been with YWAM Argentina for a decade and he showed me a few Argentinean Hardcore bands, it was really cool.  
       Over the weekend I went to Belfast, and went to a rugby game, it was really fun, but very cold.   The Mascot for Ulster, made fun of me because of my American accent, then he went around the field and when he came back he asked for me by saying "Where is the Yanky Doodle", it was a great game though.
So yeah thats what is going on right now with me.
                      Thanks again to all my supporters and also thanks to everyone who is leaving comments on this blog its really great to read them.   
                                                      Cheers!   Nate
