On time this week! Yeah this week was pretty sweet, even got a lot of homework done! (sorry if this post doesn't make much sense but it's late and I haven't slept well in like 4 days. Where to start though? I guess I'll start with this weeks youth group. After 2 weeks of not having my Ipod at Youth Group I have managed to win several "battles" against the evil hair pulling girls. So for the last 2 weeks I haven't had my hair pulled often and I haven't been kicked in the shins at all. This week we did a combined group with the grade 6 boys and I got to get in a small group with some of the boys that I've grown pretty close too so that was sweet. It was a bummer that I wasn't able to go to Warmland Church this week or go to Sunday night Youth but...
YOUTH QUAKE WAS AMAZING! it started at 4 in the morning on Thursday and ended about 6 hours ago with all the bus rides and spending the weekend at the "mothership." Yeah the first hour or so of being at Briercrest was a bit overwhelming but after everything wasn't so brand spanking new anymore I started to settle in quite well. So Friday was a bit of an overwhelming day for me but I got to see Briercrest a bit and started to figure out if I wanted to go there or not for the next 3 years.
Friday rolled on and I had a sweet time hanging with Kaleo 3 through 6 and other people that I knew at Briercrest. Then Friday Night rolled around and the concert was sweet! RED blew the roof off of that place and the moch pit was pretty awesome to. So little story for all you people that are use to cold places. During the concern I had a water bottle dumped on me and I was really wet, including my hair. So when the concert ended I headed outside to go back to my dorm and a very odd thing happened to me. My hair froze. That has never happened to me before! I was kind of scared so Don Taylor, Old Testament Prof/Briercrest Police Sherif, was in his squad car on my way back to my dorm so I went over to talk to him and I asked about my hair. His response was a polite chuckle and told me not to worry about it. That was so weird! frozen hair...
Sunday morning was my best time there and I really felt at home sitting with all the Kaleo students in front of me, behind me, and beside me. Really I felt like I was home, in a weird and cold way. So I'm sorry to all my friends back here in B.C. but I will be going to Briercrest next year. So if you guys could pray for me that I can get the money to pay for it and also that my body would adapt to the cold there so I'm not sick 24/7 next year.
