Brazil, Day 17: A Better View of the Area
By Joshua Huang

Accidentally woke up too late to do any exercise this morning, and I couldn’t have run even if I wanted to. There is a couples retreat going on at the seminary, so the whole campus is all decorated and the road is kind of taped off. Getting in there is hard enough because most of more »

Brazil, Day 16: ALL the Neat Stories!
By Joshua Huang

So, as the title indicates, today I heard a lot of great stories. In order to remember them later on, I’m gonna write them all down. First of all, my day began with another 6-kilometer run. That’s not much of a story, but it happened. For breakfast we had yummy bread with fried cheese and more »

Brazil, Day 15: Odd Jobs and Leadership Conference
By Joshua Huang

Ugh…I don’t like waking up in the morning! Well, I do, but I don’t like to wake up early and I especially don’t like to exercise alone. But I had to do what I had to do, and I ran 6 kilometers. My devotions were in Acts 10. In this chapter, Cornelius and Peter both more »

No exercise today. I woke up at 5:30am to watch the sunrise, but unfortunately it was already up, so I’ll

Brazil, Day 13: A Little Assistance and a Little A
By Joshua Huang

This morning I ran four kilometers, but I tried to pick up the pace so I was running harder than I had on previous mornings. For breakfast I had tapioca (a tapioca wrap) stuffed with sun-dried meat and cheese, and for dessert I had a slice of papaya. I think that is one of my more »

Brazil, Day 12: Several Thoughts on Missions
By Joshua Huang

I woke up and almost considered skipping a second straight day of exercise. I did not want to get up, and I had an almost unnoticeable headache that lingered from the night before. But I finally got up and ran a kilometer before doing some hill runs, tackling the hill on the seminary’s road eight more »

Brazil, Day 11: Church, Day Two
By Joshua Huang

Slept in today and woke up refreshed and excited for Sunday, a day of worship and rest. No services at church today because we had them yesterday, so we are going to a different church tonight. But most churches only have Sunday School and no morning service because the evening service is when most people more »

Brazil, Day 10: Giving to Brasil
By Joshua Huang

When my alarm went off this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed. I wasn’t necessarily tired although I definitely could have slept longer. Rather, I just didn’t want to get out of my really comfortable bed and go running. But I took a break two days ago, so more »

Brazil, Day 9: Last Day of School
By Joshua Huang

Because I slept in with no exercise yesterday, I determined that I had to run today…and I did. My legs felt much better, so I ran five kilometers (three miles), and it feels like I’m starting to get back into the running shape I used to have. The sprinting isn’t there yet, but the endurance more »

Brazil, Day 8: From Portuguese to Ingl
By Joshua Huang

I woke up to run…and I didn’t run. My legs were so sore that I decided I should take the day off after breaking them back in the last couple days. So back to bed I went, and it felt good to sleep in for the first time all week. Acts 5:33-42 was the passage more »
