Ebola outbreak. Christian genocide in Iraq. Gaza and Israel. Mark Driscoll and his church Mars Hill removed from the Acts29 network. My mind is swimming in an overwhelming sea of outrageous news and current events. What is this world coming to? What the heck is Obama doing? Why isn’t the US doing anything?

I think the hardest thing about being here is the language barrier, and after 4 months of studying I feel only the tiniest inch closer to being able to effectually communicate.
