Day 93 of 365: Wake-up call

Outline:

1) Meeting for Summer missions
2) Meeting for Dating Series
3) Meeting for Retreat

That pretty much sums up my morning. At least it was productive...

I spent the rest of the afternoon at home until Annie came over, which was good timing because just as my parents and I left for Stonestown to take Kristy shopping, Amos came back with Annie. Perfect! So we went to Stonestown for a while. At least for Annie and I, we had some business to take care of. Top secret, but no worries, nothing serious.

After having 2/3 of the day gone, we prepared to head down to Menlo Park to meet up with Bill. Katy met us at my place and we carpooled down to Bill's. Didn't take long for us to arrive and not too long after, Bill drove us to a cool Vietnamese restaurant that serve actual Vietnamese food. Nothing like the ones in SF. Mostly rice paper stuff, but the meat and fish that were served there was good! The dinner was mainly just to catch up with Bill and see how he's doing. Caught up with stories of his trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore. Yeah, this guy pretty much toured the whole Southeast Asia! Good times recorded!

We headed back to his apartment where we saw pictures and videos of his adventures. Man, if a picture can spell a thousand words, what would a video do? Lots of good laughs, but also lots of revelation from the mission that he took for Cambodia. Really does show that we have it good in America. Say that you might be struggling with a minimal wage job, but people elsewhere are working at a lower wage... Wake-up call...
