Josh's Kaleo Updates

So Here it is, IT'S ON TIME! So this week I've decided to get off my lazy butt on Monday's and actually do my blog post on time. Also this week I've found someone here at Kaleo that can get my photos off of my camera and on to my computer. Also my new Time Capsule is working amazingly thus making the range of the Internet bigger and giving me the ability to wirelessly back up everything. Mac=1 Hp=0.

So anyways this week was a pretty awesome week. We had our first class with Lech who everyone said is a really scary teacher but screw that I like him! He's a great teacher and the way he teaches always seems to get my attention. Well except for that one afternoon where even Lech was falling asleep. Yeah but overall I'm really getting a lot out of his class and I'm looking forward to the next classes we have with him. On the other hand of the school aspect...HOMEWORK IS KILLING US! so much work in so little time. I've had to print up 3 homework schedules just because there is so much homework. Keep in your prayers that I can stay on top of all this work and not fail my 2nd semester.

Also I have made decisions on what I'm going to do in the future. I am going to be at camp this summer is spite of what I was saying earlier this year. Things just seemed to happen and I dealt with a ton of my pride and I felt that God still wanted me to be at Qwanoes so I'm staying! also I will be going to the "Mother ship" aka Briercrest next year to continue my studies in my B.A. in Christian Ministry. So it's off to the middle of no where for about 3 years.

Church was also good this week even on a count of me choosing to sleep in on Sunday and having to book it to get to church on time to help with the media. But it was still fun. Sunday was an awesome day in the fact that I had a great time at K-Way's birthday and also at Youth Group. ahh a youth group that doesn't attack me...amazing. No but seriously I think I have a great opportunity to minister to these kids in telling them about Christ.

So overall a good week, eh?

So 2 and a half weeks after getting back to Kaleo I'm finally doing my first blog post! I dont know why it took me so long to do this but it just seemed to slip my mind from all the homework and fun and bonding time and oh yeah HOMEWORK! honestly the homework here at Kaleo has been getting laid on so much now since I've gotten back from the break. Anyways enough about the homework.

Last week or should I say two weeks ago we had a class Theology of Mission and i'm going to have to be honest with myself, I probably should have paid attention a little bit more then I did. nonetheless it was still a good class and I enjoyed learning about the different things we need to pray about around the world. It was also really interesting to see how the 3rd world people were willing to pay money to have a missionary go and live in their villages. These people were so interested in someone from outside their culture that they were ready to sacrifice what little they could get to pay for a missionary.

Also with the start of the year came the start-up of youth again. The first week was pretty crazy just because we had been gone for 3 weeks making the kids extremely exicted to be back at youth. but overall it was still a fun time and now I finally have a way to get back at the girls who pull my hair. simply I pick them up and my friend Jayden takes their shoes. a very effective method until they start kicking my shins. I may need to find a new tatic there. But I also started helping out with the older youth on Sunday nights. That is a lot of fun. I really enjoy hanging out with the Boys at the older youth and them actually treating me like a human being. I had tons of fun over the past two weekends hanging out with the older youth guys.

Last week was the snowboarding trip. I had a ton of fun on this trip going out skiing and hitting some sweet jumps and then learning how to snowboard! I'm going to have to admit that I like snowboarding a lot more but until I get better at it (meaning I stop smashing my head into the snow) I'm going to stick with skiing. Out of the entire time out there i'm going to have to say that the best time I had was in the evenings talking in a group at chapel. Sitting around in a group and truly loving each other and worshiping Christ seemed to be a lot stronger the closer we all were crammed into that upper floor. Overall the Snow trip was a ton of fun.
