Randoms!

This past week has been pretty uneventful for the most part. We had class from Monday to Friday, 9:00 - 5:00 everyday. They were long long days! And on top of the classes we had two huge Theology papers to write! It was an interesting week of very little sleep for everyone! Our second prayer week started on Friday, so that was pretty exciting. I love the 24/7 prayer weeks because it forces me to slow down and a slow down is always necessary for me. I love just being in the prayer room and sitting in the presence of the Lord. I can sing my heart out or cry or just sit, and I love it! It's hard with the chaotic schedule that is Kaleo to find time to just sit with God, especially because it's nearing the end. I want to spend as much time as possible with everyone here. We only have a few weeks left here. It's sad, but I knew that it needed to end sometime. I don't want to dwell on that now though, we can talk about that when it is closer! But I do know what I am doing for the summer now! I applied to work here at camp as the child care giver and on Friday I got accepted! So, I start work April 30!! Other than those things, missions teams have been preparing to head away! India leaves tonight at 6...it's gonna be sad to see them go, especially because I don't start my mission trip until next Monday! But, I know that they will be back and it will be exciting when they return! And Amanda leaves today. She is moving in with her brother in the States, but she will be back for our final surfing trip and our graduation. I'm still gonna miss her a lot though. My prayers will be with all the missions teams heading out this week and next and with Amanda as she moves on. I ask that your prayers be with those people as well as with me and the Vancouver Team as we start our day camp soon and we still don't know what we are doing! Your prayers are appreciated!

Reading Break!

So, I realize that I haven't given you guys an update in a while, but that's because this past week I was in Saskatchewan! Last Thursday around 4 am, we all piled into the vans and headed for the ferry. That was just the beginning of our 27 hour bus ride to Briercrest. I slept the majority of the time spent on the bus and we watched movies and played some games. When we finally arrived at Briercrest, I was very overwhelmed. I had just spent 2 days shut up on a bus and then I was being flung into the craziness of what is YQ! To say the least, the weekend was soooo fun! Amanda Falk led worship, which was incredible! The speaker was really good as well, he could connect with all the high school students, and he was funny so it wasn't hard to pay attention. An illusionist was there, and he was SO good. I was so confused the whole time about how he did any of the things that he did! It was mind-boggling! The theme for the weekend was freedom, and I'm sure that it was great for some people. But it wasn't particularly for me. The main reason for me going, was to see Brianne and Peter, which I did! It was so incredible to visit with them where they live and just hang out with them! My Kaleo friends got a chance to meet some of my friends from home, and I loved that. Overall, the weekend was really good, and I had a lot of fun. I didn't get much sleep, but that was ok because I had the 27 hour bus ride back home to sleep. We got home Monday night and then there were still 2 days left of reading break! So, I just hung out here with a few other people, watched some movies, went on adventures. It was a sweet 2 days. Other than that, there has just been a lot of school work and boring stuff! haha...oh! I had my interview for Camp Qwanoes the other day. I don't know if I got the job yet, but I am really hoping so! But if I get the job then I start April 30th which means that I won't get to go home at all this summer. But we will see how things pan out! Here is a pic from YQ!
