Almost break-time

This next week it will be my last week of school and then I'll have a week of final exams. It is crazy how fast this time past by. If I look back to the day of my arrival in August it just seems as if it was a month ago. How ever, I don't mind that time is flying by. As mentioned before I'll be writing my finals in the week of the 9th till the 13th of December. So far I'm doing good at school. This week I got an A+ back in a project that I had to do for Education. So far this A+ was my highest grade.
At work everything is going really good as well. Throughout this time I got the opportunity to talk to a few of the CLBI students and I had the chance to share my testimony with them. It is interesting how my life and all what I experienced with God fascinates the students. Many of the students didn't experience God in the way that God has revealed himself to me. So the fact that I can share all of this and help them with my story is quit challenging but at the same time also really encouraging. Right now I'm too learning new things in my spiritual life. An with each step I'm taking and learning I also can pass it on to others. I could talk for a long time about this and go into details about what God is teaching me but this would take to long, but I'll talk about it an other time. How ever one thing I want to say,  forgiveness is way more complex then I thought.


Well this is it. I don't want to keep you long away from your duties. Thanks for your time and support. May our LORD continue to bless you.

Future

It's already been two weeks since my last post and a lot has happened in my life. I had an exam that I had to write and I got exams back. The first exam that I got back was actually a paper and it was an English Literature paper in which I got a "C". For my first paper I can be satisfied with it. According to my Professor the context was actually around a "B" or an "A" but the whole point of building up a thesis and opening sentence / closing sentence is what brought me down. Today I also got my English Literature Mid-Term back. In this exam I got a "B" which I'm really glad for. I also got my first Education paper back and also there I did a good job. The grade is a "B/B-". Last week I had to hand in my second Philosophy paper and write an exam as well. I'm still waiting for both results. Right now I'm working on my novel paper for English Literature. I'm writing about Mary Shelly's novel "Frankenstein". And I'm writing a Sociology paper together with two of my classmates on poverty.
Now to the topic about my future. I was never really sure when I'll be going back to Switzerland. Well now I know. I'll be staying in Canada till the end of 2014. This is due to courses that I couldn't get in at King's and because in this first semester I was quite overloaded and this just with four courses. It would be really hard to do 5 courses during the next semester. So I decided to split my second semester into two semesters. This way I can take more courses and also courses that interest me more then what I'm taking now. And I can still keep supporting the mission PróSERTÃO in Brazil.

3 premieres

This post will be about three premiers in my life.

1. On the weekend of October the 25th we had a Welcome Back Weekend here at CLBI. All the Alumni's could come for the weekend to CLBI. And as it is a tradition the current students played football against the alumni's. This year was the first year for the current students to win the game, and had my first touchdown of the game as well as of my life. This is the premiere of my life. It was a huge deal for me, this because I played this game now for three years in a row and I never had the chance to do a touchdown, actually to be honest I don't think I ever touched the ball in the other games. 
2. On October 29th I had a health incident. I was cleaning my ear and by doing that I scratched the inside of it. By seeing the blood coming out of my year I started to feel wird and suddenly the next thing I know I was laying on the floor. I went to the hospital get checked and the results where good. It was only a scratch in the inside and nothing more. How ever the premiere was my first time fainting.

     It was an interesting experience to wake up on the floor and not knowing what happened. You stand up and you see all the stuff you through of the shelfs and what ever was around you when you fell. 
3. It was time for me to get a haircut. So I thought that I need some kind of a new look. So I went to the hairdresser and told her to do what ever she thinks would look good on me. She explained to me what she would do, and I just agreed. If it wouldn't look good I still could cut everything off.Well I never did that before and so it was kind of a risk. But it was a risk worth taking.

Those were my three premieres

Thanks for your prayer and support
