Hi guys.

I think I may have underestimated this roommate ordeal. I was originally going to live with Kim at Wonderland next year. However, a number of concerns brought up by our mutual friends has caused her to rethink. And upon some self-reflection, I'm no longer sure that living with her is God's will.

Amidst so much uncertainty, I know that God will reveal to Kim and I what we should be doing next year. He'll do it on His own time, in His own way. But He'll do it. No doubt. You guys know I hate to be prayed for...but I guess if possible, just pray for our situation, as well as for Kim. She's a girl who's currently under tremendous pressure, and I just hope that God shows her His mercy under these turbulent times.

Despite all this, these are great days we live in! Last night, something amazing happened. Sam and I were sitting at a round table in the library, when my phone rings. Meh, normal phone call, I thought. Little did I know that it was my sister, Sarah, calling all the way from Japan! She updated me on her situation, telling me all her ambitious plans of travelling all around Asia after her work term finishes. On top of that, she told me that she quit smoking! Wow. My system's overloading...

You know, all these events were almost overshadowed by one simple fact: I was just happy to hear her voice. Sometimes all it takes to lift your spirits is a familiar voice. My sister has the coolest voice on the phone: she's a former receptionist, thus has one of those really pleasant (bordering on annoying) high-pitched voices. Also, she's been developing what she deems "an international accent". For instance, she pronounces Japan "Ja-pawn", hahaha.

Anyways, my time's up tonight. Again, keep Kim in your prayers, guys!
