This past week is honestly a blur in my mind: I’ve been so busy here I can’t tell the days apart! One thing that really stuck out in my mind was chapel this week. I got to sing on the worship team this week, and after that we had the message. Pastor Jordan surprised us big time by buying all of the first years a token, and it was different for everyone. A lot of them were antiques, and I got an antique wooden box with a brick, or “cornerstone” in my case. He wrote a letter to each of us and explained our gift, and what it meant to our lives. I won’t share that on here, but it was really cool to see how we’ve all grown so much in the past nearly three months, and how people notice. It served as a great encouragement and totally strengthened us all before break!
On Saturday we went out in the community to pick up garbage and offer prayer to the neighbours. We got to talk to a lot of people, invite them out to church, and pray with a few of them. It was only 3 degrees outside and I couldn’t stand it, so I don’t know how I’m going to deal with -15 back home! Speaking of home, only five more days until I come home, I’m so excited to see my family and friends! Until then, I have a bunch of projects to work on for the church and an exam on Friday, so I’ll be kept busy right up until I go. Beth and I fly out at lunch time on Saturday: I get home late Saturday night. I’ll see you all on Sunday!
