You still there?
192
You know what time it is.
193
It's story time.
194
Hey, I said it's story time.
195
Now listen, earlier in today's lesson, I mentioned that I had compassion on homeless people.
196
And I mentioned that when I was in Korea, I started this program where once a month, the missionaries and I missionary teachers and I would go and hand out food.
197
I want to give you a little bit more detail about that program because something happened one time and I had to keep my chin up.
198
So each month we would collect money.
199
We'd all donate money and we use that money to purchase the food that we take out to the homeless people.
200
Remember I said we were missionaries though.
201
We didn't have a lot of money, right?
202
So we would all kind of put money together, but we needed a certain amount to take to actually the restaurant to purchase the food.
203
We didn't want to take 10 meals out there and then you get 50 homeless people and you didn't have enough.
204
So we needed around five to $700 each month in order to get the right amount of plates of food.
205
So this month we only had $300 collected and we were planning on going out that Sunday.
206
So it was around Monday of the week, right before we were going out the following Sunday to feed the homeless.
207
We needed $200 more to get the minimum amount of meals.
208
So I was stressed.
209
I was a little discouraged.
210
And I was praying hard.
211
I was like, Lord, where are we going to get this $200?
212
We really want to feed the homeless, but I can't pressure the missionaries because we're all struggling.
213
We don't have the money.
214
And I prayed and I prayed and I prayed.
215
And the day before I had to place the order with the restaurant, randomly, I got a raise.
216
They gave us a bonus out of nowhere.
217
We didn't know anything about it.
218
And do you know how much my bonus was?
219
$200.
220
In that moment, I remember literally sitting at my desk in Korea, turning on my computer and seeing the message that the $200 bonus had been given to us.
221
In that moment, I remembered you have to keep your chin up in challenging situations because they will work out.
222
God had answered my prayers.
223
I just needed to keep my chin up.
224
And I got that $200 immediately to get out of my bank account to use, to purchase the meals for the homeless people.
225
And we all were able to go out and feed the homeless.
226
And we had a wonderful time, literally having conversations with them.
227
We didn't just drop off the food and leave.
228
We spoke with the homeless people and it was a great experience.
229
So remember, no matter what your situation is, keep your chin up.
230
I believe in you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
