I hit the streets today doing contact work. It was very sudden because I totally did not expect it. I saw my schedule and the afternoon was empty, so I thought it was free for me to use, but I guess there were other plans. So I was thrown to the streets with 20 odd sheets of paper to do a questionnaire. I thought it'd be a piece of cake, I mean how hard can it be to ask people to fill up a questionnaire? I know I used to be the type of person to ask these people to go away, how ironic that now I should be the one to be rejected by others. Anyway how hard can it be to be rejected by strangers?? So I hit the streets, and the first people I asked rejected me of course. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I had a gruelling 3 hours of contact work, before I finally got the hang of it. But today, I gained confidence, and experience, so tomorrow I expect something better. I also need to learn the art of starting a conversation.
Ok, I was with Jeremy at parkway doing our contact work, and we came across several rather interesting responses. Like you wouldn't think anyone would openly claim to be a satan worshipper right? Well, Jeremy and I clearly did not, and we were totally not prepared. But that was just one of the few interesting responses. After a day of tiring work on the streets, you'd think that they'd give us a break and let us go home right? But guess what?? We had to run!! Yes, run!! In YFC!! Apparently, to be with youths, we need to have the energy to keep up with youths, hence a weekly exercise.
Today was especially tiring. I think we ran like 3 plus km? We also stopped halfway and did chin-ups, and sit-ups. I can still do my 12 chin-ups so I guess I've not de-proved that much yet, but the running was a real torture. I'm so gonna die for my reservist man. Anyway, tomorrow is contact work again!!! Pray that I'll have strength, and that I might be blessed with the opportunity to share the gospel. My friend managed to today, and I felt like I did not do enough compared to her...is this right?
