I love my school

Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Today was my last day of my short-term missions night class. I almost cried. Not because it was the last class but because we were giving presentations and in one group a girl played Be Thou My Vision on her guitar and sang. All of the sudden the whole class was singing along with her. I had a huge lump in my throat because I love how totally normal that is here! It's awesome that I can even take a class on missions at my school let alone break out into hymns in class.

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Tonight was also our last unit bible study. Again, something totally awesome about my school, my dorm, and the ladies that live in my unit! Today we also got the T-shirts for our Malawi trip! People love them! Here are two of my sweet supportive unit mates showing them off!
