Today and Yesterday, I shared a devotion on 'The Smile'.
I remembered watching this video a while back where a student conducted an experiment in her school.
I watched it with the sound off (it was one of those videos on my Facebook feed) I was struck by how beautiful everyone was when they smiled; their smile totally changed their faces for the better. If you have the time, you can watch the video here. I suggest you do as I did and watch it on mute. It made all the difference to me...and it would seem that so do kind gestures to lots of people.

Today you were briefly introduced to Elisabeth Elliot. One of the things Elisabeth did with her life was write a bi-monthly newsletter for almost 20 years.
You are to read her first ever newsletter tonight. Please just read the first article about contexts and also read the second last newsletter. The first article in that one is about restlessness and worry.

http://www.elisabethelliot.org/newsletters/2003-09-10.pdf
Tonight you are to write a newsletter of 500 words max on a topic of your choosing. It should be something that can help, edify, teach, or bless your peers. Be sure to use at least one quote (from the Bible and other famous writers). You can use an anecdotal story like contexts does, if you wish. It does not need to be in newsletter format. Submit tomorrow.
Remember also to write 5 questions that stem from all we have learned and/or done in this module so far.

The Rainy Season
Christian Studies
Watch this video starting at 15:27. Because I won't be teaching you until next Monday, you have until then to watch the entire video. It will be an hour of your time (but well worth it, I think).
Please ensure you come to class on Monday and complete the following questions.
1. What did D. P. Thomson ask Eric to do? Why? Why did Eric call it "the bravest thing he did in his life"?
4. What did Eric do in Tientsen at the Anglo-Chinese College?
5. What was the problem of getting Florence to be his wife?
6. Why did Florence leave to Toronto?
7. What did Eric do in Siaochang?
8. Why did Eric move to Weihsien?
9. How did Eric die?
10. His daughter, Patricia, reflects on why Eric was not allowed by God to leave China. Why does she believe Eric needed to stay in the prison camp?

Answer the questions for chapters 5 and 6 (so you will have to read the chapters necessarily).
