Social Chatting--February 2015

I vaguely remember that meeting. xP It wasn't _too_ bad, though, I think. :P

....?! It what?! :P

Uh, what? :P

It wasn't too bad?! I like died! :P But anyway! :P

Farewell Abibuddy!

I have never done that, and don't remember any of us doing that before!! :P

I know you know how to jump!!! XDDDDDDDD Christian has!!! XP

Of course I know how to jump! Why the excessive emoticon?? :P But that doesn't mean I'll do it for no reason! :P

Lie down in your bed, close your eyes, take deep breaths, and count chimichangas!

… Okay, well actually I'm gonna go now. *takes my leaves*

Aw, farewell ABIACK! SLEEP WELL!

Uh, what? :P

It wasn't too bad?! I like died! :P But anyway! :P

I don't remember feeling terribly awkward, but okay. :P

I have never done that, and don't remember any of us doing that before!! :P

I know you know how to jump!!! XDDDDDDDD Christian has!!! XP

Of course I know how to jump! Why the excessive emoticon?? :P But that doesn't mean I'll do it for no reason! :P

…you've forgotten?! Shame on you! No shame, no shame. Ahem When we were playing MAU. You thought the rules were ridiculous. You jumped (more like flew) across the room. Remember??? It was hilarious! XD My dad has a video of us playing MAU at your house! XD

Uh, what? :P

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO THAT?? You need to learn that people can't read your mind, dude!! :P

Lie down in your bed, close your eyes, take deep breaths, and count chimichangas!

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I know…oh wait. That's another one. Nervmind. :P Let me start again.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. You are the mindreader!!! You always read my mind! Are you failing? Is your skill disappearing? :P

Umm…… what do I say now? :P

Umm...... what do I say now? :P

I could say I'm heading to bed…

Umm...... what do I say now? :P

I could say I'm heading to bed...

I was afraid of that… :P But it is getting quite late… or early… :P

Umm...... what do I say now? :P

I could say I'm heading to bed...

I was afraid of that... :P But it is getting quite late... or early... :P

I have to get up at six tomorrow… And it's late here. And it's even later for you! ;)

What's the name of the library y'all go to?

Umm...... what do I say now? :P

I could say I'm heading to bed...

I was afraid of that... :P But it is getting quite late... or early... :P

I have to get up at six tomorrow... And it's late here. And it's even later for you! ;)

…Oh. Why didn't you say that earlier?? :P I don't have to get up at any specific time tomorrow, so I'll be fine–but 6:00 is in only five and a half hours for you! You need to get to bed! :P

What's the name of the library y'all go to?

Um… the Medina County Public Library, I think… something very similar that. Why? :)

I don't need to get to bed! :P When BB started I would go to bed at one and get up at six. I did that for like two weeks. And then I was so exhausted I quit. :P

What's the name of the library y'all go to?

Um... the Medina County Public Library, I think... something very similar that. Why? :)

Just trying to find it's website online. :P To see if some certain books are there :P Thank you! :P

I don't need to get to bed! :P When BB started I would go to bed at one and get up at six. I did that for like two weeks. And then I was so exhausted I quit. :P

Well, it's good that you quit that–five hours is too little! :P Even for one night! :P You'd better get going soon. ;)

Oh, LOL. xP I could get you the website tomorrow–it's on my library card. Which, unfortunately, isn't with me right now. :P

I will. :P

Well, it's good that you quit that--five hours is too little! :P Even for one night! :P You'd better get going soon. ;)

I will. :P

Of course, because you know what time is good for you to be getting to bed–unlike me, who apparently needs constant reminders from friends! ;P

Oh, LOL. xP I could get you the website tomorrow--it's on my library card. Which, unfortunately, isn't with me right now. :P

I already found it. Thanks though! :)

I think it's so neat that when we went evangelizing together in July, we got to see the KC Book Public Library! :P

Oh, I don't know if I told you…but I read this great book about witnessing!

Well, it's good that you quit that--five hours is too little! :P Even for one night! :P You'd better get going soon. ;)

I will. :P

Of course, because you know what time is good for you to be getting to bed--unlike me, who apparently needs constant reminders from friends! ;P

Or I don't know cause I stay up super late sometimes. :P

Oh, LOL. xP I could get you the website tomorrow--it's on my library card. Which, unfortunately, isn't with me right now. :P

Oh, okay. :)

Yeah, that was pretty cool. xD

Really? What's it called? :)

Of course, because you know what time is good for you to be getting to bed--unlike me, who apparently needs constant reminders from friends! ;P

Or I don't know cause I stay up super late sometimes. :P

Precisely my apparent predicament. :P

Oh, okay. :) Yeah, that was pretty cool. xD Really? What's it called? :)

It's almost not fair! :P Cause I live in KC and I had never seen it and then y'all come and I finally get to see it! Jk! :P

"Will Our Generation Speak". It was really good. Gave me some good ideas on witnessing and stuff. I'm going to start caring tracts around with me and handing them out. She made a really good point about personality in it. And how quiet people can't say they aren't the right personality for witnessing. That really stuck out to me.

Of course, because you know what time is good for you to be getting to bed--unlike me, who apparently needs constant reminders from friends! ;P

Next thing. :P Do you remember what number this would be? :P

Yeah, that was pretty cool. xD Really? What's it called? :)

LOL, it's not our fault! ;D

Yeah, I know it's not an excuse for me not to witness just because I'm so introverted… but it does make it a whole lot harder… I mean, I can hardly talk to my friends without stumbling all over myself! :P Since you're looking at my library site–is it there? :)

Uhhhhh… are you talking about agreements? 'Cuz I haven't the slightest clue. :P

Yeah, that was pretty cool. xD Really? What's it called? :)

I never said it was! :P

Yeah, same for me. I understand. But reading the book gave me an entirely new view on things. I need to view this as doing it for God's glory. And also, seeing the people as on their way to hell. This is a matter of eternity. And I'm being silly enough to worry about how I feel and appear to others. I may not do the best job at explaining but God can still use me. I heard a quote to the effect that God wants those who are weak and willing to lean on Him. I can't do it on my own…Hehas to help me. When I am weak, then He is strong.

Yeah. :P Don't worry, I was joking. ;P

Yes… so right. I know all of that… it's just so hard to remember when I'm debating with myself over whether to start a conversation with a stranger. It's literally one of the hardest things possible for me to do. But it isn't about me anyway, like you said–it's about glorifying God. He can use the most bumbling, stuttering presentation of His gospel to save someone. So… none of us has any excuse.

Uhhhhh... are you talking about agreements? 'Cuz I haven't the slightest clue. :P

Yeah. :P Don't worry, I was joking. ;P

Good. :P It wasn't an accurate number at all anyway. :P

Exactly. Ironically, for me it's hard to start witnessing. But once I get going I really enjoy it. Like seriously. I like completely forget how I appear to others and just enjoy doing it. Even though I may not always know the answers or I stumble all over my words, etc…

Uhhhhh... are you talking about agreements? 'Cuz I haven't the slightest clue. :P

Yeah. :P Don't worry, I was joking. ;P

Good. :P It wasn't an accurate number at all anyway. :P

Did we even have a number for agreements? :P

Well… I haven't had that experience, unfortunately. :P I don't really care what they think of me, but I can't stand that I know exactly what I want to say, but I can never get the words out right…

Uhhhhh... are you talking about agreements? 'Cuz I haven't the slightest clue. :P

Yeah. :P Don't worry, I was joking. ;P

Good. :P It wasn't an accurate number at all anyway. :P

Did we even have a number for agreements? :P

I thought we did… but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what it was. :P

Yeah, that part always annoys me. So, I'm gonna start preparing. I know I won't be able to study everything but I can still study a lot more than I have been. :)

Sounds like a great idea! :) The conversation structure used by Way of the Master has been helpful for me in the past–it helps you keep the encounter going the way you want it to go. It's the easiest way for me that I've found so far. :)

I thought we did... but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what it was. :P

I thought we didn't... but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what it was. :P

I'm sure I could find that we did, if I looked hard enough. :P

That's good you've found something that helps you! :)

Well, thanks so much for talking but I must leave now. Bye Nicolas! Handshake/highfive/fistbump

LOL! We'll go with the opinion that we did. :P But now don't waste your time looking for it! :P
