just hanging around

†This week we missed youth because we went to missions fest. It was a good time of learning about missions both around the world and locally.

Church wise we were able to help New Life by cleaning up after a ladies night. we took down all the tables and set up the chairs in the church. it was neat because they were so grateful and it was almost like we were more blessed than they were. Just because they gave us cake and praised us and thanked us, it was really cool to be able to help out in that way.

Here's an update

the time was 630
and we had just got back
from the trip up mt wash'ton
which no fun did it lack!

we had little time
and busy it was
to shower, eat and drive
to youth! (avoiding the fuzz)

youth was delightful
and it usally is
a carnival of sorts
handing out the candy "fizz"


ok, so enuf rhyming, and i mean it!
(does any one want a peanut?)

Friday was youth. it was a fundraiser, a carnival for the kids. lots of sweet games and prizes. we got there late because we had just gotten back from Mt. washington from a week of snowboarding. it was so amazing! a beautiful place filled with lots of fun and great times of hanging out!
At youth we were able to help clean up. It amazed me again how great the youth are. everyone was cleaning up and working super hard to get the church ready for sunday again! i just love getting to be a part of it!

One change in my week will be that i am going to start helping out at church on wednesdays now too. i dont know what i'll be doing but i feel called to give a little more of my time, and also i think it will help me feel more apart of the church and the youth groups. Just another way to get to know the youth!

Looking ahead, we have missions fest this comming weekend, so that should be great. we have a class on tuesday. a paper due wednesday. an a gym night on tuesday. The next friday after missions fest we as kaleo boys are in charge of the youth night, so that should be exciting too.

But im out, gota get some work done!

First week after Christmas!

So, i've been back in bc for 12 days now, and im slowly getting used to it again. We have had a Pentateuch class, gone skating, had youth and church, and done a lot of just hanging out. The class was good, but long. We did a sweet project for it too, we made a infomercial for "The Bibleland Game".
Being back has taken some getting used too, its just different being around everyone again, on the island.
Being in youth and church was so good though. Seeing all those people again was fun, and it reminded me how many people i have gotten to know through this all. In youth it was dinner and a movie so we had an italian meal and watched Ratatouille. Church today was about tithing and was also a sweet view on it.
As a kaleo group we are also all preparing for our mission trips, and as team vancouver we have a meeting coming up to learn some more about our trip. But first, tomorrow at 530 we all leave for Mt. Washington for 5 days of snowboarding and hanging out together. So im gona get ready for that!
