First day of Fire in the Night

It's 9:25pm Kansas City time which is an hour behind Toronto time and I am here sitting in the cafe on the missions base. My journey here was quite uneventful except for the American immigrations officer giving me a little trouble before letting me go in. He didn't really buy my story about visiting friends in Kansas for three months. Probably because there is not much to do here but tip cows and run around in cornfields and pretend you're Dorothy who's off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz. Just joking... I am here to radically encounter Jesus and to pray like I've never prayed before so its all worth it.
My plane landed at KC airport around 10:30 where I was picked up by my friend Charlie Warlie. Charlie's his name not Charlie Warlie but I like Charlie Warlie better so that is what I have dubbed him. Charlie's a crazy awesome guy. Little (well not little he's tall)Brit boy with crazy dreads. Anyways so he picked me up and then I went and crashed at his place for a bit because I was crazy tired having been up since 4am. My nap, however, only lasted for about an hour because this little baby started screaming bloody murder! Yes there are alot of people in the Hibberd house at the moment. Following my interrupted nap I was driven to a walmart about half an hour away. There's actually a walmart ten minutes away but for some reason Ihoppers won't go there because they say its ghetto and you'll get mugged if you're white. Thats complete and utter rubbish. My mom and I went there all last summer but I'm not going to judge the peeps here I'm just going to show them that there's not need for nasty prejudices. More about this issue later.
After Walmart came back to Charlies had burgers and then I was off to register myself into Fire in the Night. I met my team leaders who funnily enough are all called Sarah. I find that very amusing. The girls in my apartment are all really nice. I happen to be the youngest that I know off for now. Most people in this internship are in their early twenties but hey I guess this will just make me more mature. I'm such a kid I have to grow up sometime so this will be a great time to do so. I have another 8 hours left to go in this day. They are starting us on the program right away meaning we're going to have to be up till 4 am tonight. Ooo Angelina is sooo happy about that. NOT!! I need someone with a pokey stick to sit next to me and poke me when I fall asleep. Anyways I think I'm going to go to the prayer room for a bit to soak. There's a lot I want to get out of this internship but the one thing I want to learn is to have HIM saturate all that I am. I want who I am to be defined by all that Jesus is. Passionate lovers is definetly the word to describe the people here. I miss you all but I'll be bringing you before His throne as I stay up to pray tonight.
luv always,
Angelina
