At that time, I replied to him quickly without any hesitation. But as the time got closer, I started feeling anxious because of the language barrier. So I wrote it in my prayer request and prayed for it until that date came.
After I came back from the retreat, I thanked God for helping me overcome anxious evil in my mind and give me enough ability to communicate and meet new friends. I figured out that I was getting better at speaking in English and adjusted to stay with them. I should say they were more friendly and kind than I thought. Even though I couldnt speak fluently, they still had patience to talk to me. And I also met many different age church friends and shared about God's love in our life.
I couldnt understand all of the messages in this retreat. So at first, I felt very disappointed and asked God why He brought me here and what the purpose of the retreat is for me. I didnt hear a response from Him until the last night's session. Every time during the session, I tried hard to understand what the pastor's talked about, but still fell asleep again and again. It was so tough!!
This time I managed to stay awake and could understand nearly 80%. It's really cool that when I realized could understand more and more, I felt so excited.
It was really a great retreat. God gave me chances to be familiar with D's church friends and other new friends ealier. And I know God never lets us lose faith to face our life.
