Boba in Billings?

This post is specifically for my good friend Julie D. I found a restaurant in Billings that serves Boba! I had the coconut version and it was pretty darn good! I got some pretty strange stares from the people around me, but it was worth it. Come to visit and I'll take you there! ;-)

For those of you unaware...this is an Asian drink that is usually a tea based, frozen, blended drink with large tapioca balls in the bottom. You use a large straw to suck up the balls with the slushy drink. It's best when the balls get a bit frozen. Sounds aweful...and takes some getting used to. But with Todd and Julie raving about it, I just had to try it when I went to California. Not bad...an aquired taste I suppose. The more I've had it, the more I've enjoyed it. I never found it in Spokane, and certainly didn't expect to stumble across it in Billings. Heehee.

Church Update

Well...some good news. I've found a church that seems to be promising. I went to the weekend worship service a few weeks ago for the first time. The message seems to be pretty solid, with a focus on the importance of the Word and outreach. They're also large enough to have some good ministries in which to to get involved. When I first attended, I sat next to a couple who ended up being extraordinarily friendly. The gal has been faithful to call, and has invited me to women's Bible study on Tuesdays. Last week I went to the study and was truly encouraged. It's a group of ladies from college age to 80+ yrs old. The leader touched on some potentially difficult issues, and I was very encouraged at how she handled the Word in response.

I'm still hungry for fellowship, but I'm starting to see some potential relationships forming. Praise God!
