Oct. 3--9

This is my last week for Turkish classes. To be honest I was incredibly stoked. Please, don't get me wrong I enjoyed the classes. However, at the same time I was ready for them to over. They were 12 hours a week as well as homework. I met some great people there and was very glad that I finished my two full units. I was ready though to get out and focus more on ministry, friends, adventures and school work.

I had a great time with my friend Çagrı the other day. We got to hang out, he watched me eat a huge plate of Iskander, and we got some coffee. As we were headed to a certain coffee shop we had to walk through a D&R bookstore. So we decided to check out some music and books and what not. We were just kinda waisting time and hanging out. What else do guys my age do? Anyways, as we were looking through books we came across a NT. He asked me if this was the book that I read because I am a Christian. I told him "yes" and from there our night pretty much began. He picked up a Torah next and asked me about it. I thought it was kind of odd for a muslim to not know about the torah but it wasn't a big deal. It actually explained a lot, because of the abrogation that Muslims believe. From there we had a spiritual discussion about who both Christ and Muhammad where. It was a great conversation because we were both focused on truth. We were both willing to learn from and hear each other out.
