Japanese Technology

What the heck is that? A question many have asked as soon as they spotted this inside our microwave or on our kitchen counter. The answer - Japanese technology, as some may put it. Some of us went over to the Aberdeen mall one night. This mall is primarily an Asian mall selling everything from the most sophisticated and definitely the most advanced toilets to authentic Asian teas, foods and clothing. I know it looks crazy, but its coffee flavored cake that you can cook in the microwave. Based on the little pictures on the back of the box you add the mix, one egg and cook it in the microwave for 2 minutes. And tada!

I thought I'd share something fun first. So, I realize that it's been quite a while. And for the most part, I wasn't really writing much because I didn't really think people were actually looking here. But I've recently learned that people actually do. So, yes, here we meet.

The internship part 2 is about halfway over and that's kind of a sad realization. Time is moving forward so fast. Sometimes I want to step outside of time just so I can get a better look at what's actually happening around me and other times I want life to just be put on pause entirely for even just a moment. But that's the main thing about the internship, things that would normally take years to go through, can happen in moments.

For a little while I was thinking about what I've been through in the internship and I was really asking myself if I had really changed and wondering what I had actually learned. But God's funny and sometimes He puts questions in our minds to make us think. We recently had a "pop quiz" and our final question was "What have you learned in the internship thus far?" And to answer the question was definitely encouraging. I also realized that most of my change has been all the ways I think in my head and all the ways I react to things. I find myself in situations all for the sake of seeing how I'm handling them. It's definitely interesting to see how much everything has changed, and I really mean everything. We're not the same people who came here in September, or even the same people who came in January.


I think I might have more fun pictures coming.... soon...ish.
