Okie dokie, well ladies and gents, lets see my life has been a roller coaster of emotions. Beginning of the week started of better then las week probably becuase I had an absolutely amazing weekend with some wonderful people. Plus the factor that tuesday was my B-Day and making me now 19 and legal to drink in any place in Canada, YEAH! Don't worry it doesnt mean that much to me other then i can now go into a pub at home and eat good pub food. I have already been doing that here. Recap of the week Sun was church and we had students do our evening service and then this guy from the states do the morning service. In the middle of the day me and Christy made cup cakes for interactive group on monday, that pretty much sums up sunday leading then into monday which was interactive group all the people from BC, well half of us from B.C in one room for an hour, which equals a lot of craziness. We are one of the loudest and craziest groups and we usually just play games and talk. Christy and I lead it and we did a little bit on love and then made valentines cards and talked and ate and played four on a couch. We also did New testament discussion group and yeah. Tuesday was my Birthday and Valentines day for those who did not know my Birthday lands on that day every year. Which kind a sucks kinda doesnt. I get a lot of love from everyone. Me and a few girls went out for coffee/tea and just kinda hung out. I got a lot of notes and cards and they had a little dance party in the evening. I also had to write out my essay and so I stayed up late to write it. I got to talk to my mommy and Jessica which was great fun. I had two valentines this year, the first one being Trevor my dear old Ginger friend from California and then a guy from Wisconsin named Nathan, just for the fun of it. Trevor actually got me chocolate and a really sweet note that was so funny. As you may now know or not know, I am single that is right. Quickest but longest relationship. Being here it felt like 2 years but really it was 2 months, I have rather mixed emotions but it is for the good of both and we are still going to be friends when we get home, until then who knows. But moving on... I went onto Wed feeling rather loved indeed and so I had a great day and felt like I can get through and survive. This week of lectures was only mon-wed and we had the guy from the states name Jim Wright and he talked on Acts and the church. He was really cool and you could defiantly tell he had passion however by the end of the week I had enough, he talked a lot! Which was great but also tiring becuase he would go till 9 15 pm. And by that point you were exhausted. We also had Rob start a new lecture series on Getting the King out of the Boy, talking on David becoming King. Thursday was suppose to be reflecting and prayer day and so it was decent. I got time to my self to think and pray and just relax and not feel pressure and loudness around me. I also later got a chance to go out for a walk with Olivia Abbot who is from Victoria B.C. It was nice because we both have long legs and both love walking fast and far distrances and we have similar personalites. It was a lot of fun, however a lot of fun and a good emotional high must apparently always be followed by a large drop in the rollercoaster. Not to sound all the depressed but Friday was kind of a depressing day, it was cloudy and rainy and really was a lie in bed and do nothing day, which was followed by murder mystery. Saturday we went to Kendal with a handful of girls and we went to this sweet tea shop that was 8 floors tall and was an old inn. It was adorable and I loved it. We also did some good retail therapy and I got some adorable shirts for really cheap at the second hand shop. Later in the evening we had what was called a Capernrace, a spin off of the amazing race. It was a lot of fun there was 11 different challenges around the school which we had to go to with our team of 12 people and we had to complete all these random challenges under 10 mins and for under a min we got 1000 points and for 2 mins it was 900, every min it took we lost 100 points. The teams were put into interactive groups which was fun, our group is the crazy fun competive ones and so we were all there and we got 3rd place for points and got back 2nd and so we then got to do one final challenge which required swiming to get coins that had dates to answer the questions. And guess what we won, so exciting!! We get to have a pizza party when we get back from 10 day out reach. And now we are at Sunday once again, I swear time flies here it really does. Its crazy we have a week till 10 day outreach, then we are gone for 10 days and then we get back and we have a week and a half left before we leave to either go home or travel, I am travelling then coming home. April 11th.
I have lots to do, I have a message to prepare for 10 day outreach plus I need to update my testimony and I need to do Bible reading and study for a quiz I failed and I need to finish last minute travel plans and every little detail. This week I want to have all my plans done and ready to go before I go away for 10 day. The stress is kicking in and its not a great feeling. But I remembering to look to God for strength because it is only through him that I can do it all. So I just that you pray for the stress in my world, that I might be able to get it all done in time and not worry too much about 10 day outreach and just be at peace with that and travelling. Also pray for health and safety, I want to be well and not injured for travelling or outreach and this is a time that Satan will attack and he has already been attacking in everyway he can. We have outreach leaders sick and we plans going astray as well distractions that have been thrown at everyone.
A lot of me is ready to come home and see everyone again. I ready to leave this place and not have to see people and to relax a little and be in a normal environment. Have you ever tried to avoid someone when you live with them, its pretty hard and not a realistic expectation. I am also excited to see everyone at home and eat food I want. Yet today I was realising that I am not quite ready to leave. I am going to miss the beauty of this place and all it has to offer. It is gorgeous. I went for a walk in sweater with the sun beating down on my back and wind in my hair and I could hear the sheep baahhing and the birds chirping. It is nice in the sense you are out in the middle of no where and so a lot of the distractions of home are taken away yet at the same time it would be nice to be able to do what I want when I want. I also love always having someone to hang out with or talk to, it has been so awesome this past week because I can usually find someone to walk with or talk with. I come home really soon or so it feels and so one more time I love you and miss you. Hope all is well back home
