On May 16, 2010 My friend and I came up with a crazy idea. We decided to try and bake some cookies then show the love of Christ by giving them to our neigbors. Little did we know the difficulties of baking.
The first batch of cookies we decided to bake on wax paper, after filling the house with smoke, we took them out and they were all burnt. Cooking lesson: Don’t put wax paper in the oven. After many trials and errors we ended up with 2 dozen cookies (out of a possible 6) that were ready to be handed out.
With those two dozen successfully baked cookies, we were able to talk to two of our neighbors. Our plan was to tell them that we were Christians and that Jesus told us to love our neighbors. During the two fairly short conversations and, with the unwanted help of our nervousness, I don’t think our message came across too clearly. Hopefully God helped them to understand. They did take our cookies though and weather or not they ate them I do not know.
The whole experience felt silly, but after it was all said and done it felt good. Who knows maybe we will do it again some time.

Many funny things happen in the Volunteer department. One of my highlights was having a screaming monkey flying at me when I wasn’t expecting it. I fell out of my chair, my heart skipped a few beats, and they called it my initiation to the Volunteer department.

I work out at front desk at the end of everyday. And that requires me to bring my headset from my office. Because this requires so many steps I sometimes forget to plug my headset in after getting to the front desk. On this particular afternoon that exact thing happened. Only this time I didn’t catch it before I answered the beckoning phone.
“Gospel for Asia how may I help u……..Hello……hello??……….”
Silence.
Eventually I realized my headset was not plugged in and talked to the lady on the other end. After I finished talking with the lady, I laughed about the whole situation.
