Last Friday we headed into the church for prayer and to work on Tokens, yet again! Leading that team has taught me so much about being a leader. It's not as easy as it looks! It's just a little idea of what I have to look forward to if I return for a second year. Later that night my family headed over to my mom Gabby's house to watch movies and just hang out. It was a great way to end the day, because we all needed to relaxation!
Saturday was the big day... second year interview day!!! It went so well. They told me how great I was, and what they admired in me, as well as what I should change in order to return for a second year. I'm glad I recorded it, because it was hard to take notes. I just wanted to listen and hear what they had to say! I'm glad for the experience, and even now I'm taking into account what they've said to me. Later that day, we had human video practice. Human videos, or dramas as they call it in Canada, are written to a specific song and we act out a story along to it. This time we all had two shirts to wear: a black one on top and a white on bottom. They each had a label on them, and the idea was that God changed us from the black label to white label. My two shirts read "Security in Guys" to "Security in God". In the human video, we acted out a scene depicting our black label, and Jesus would come and take off our black shirt to reveal our white shirt, and our new identity. I wish I had someone record it, because I am told it was very moving. We stayed at the church until the early hours of the morning practicing, but I didn't mind. I love playing a part in human videos, and I love how God uses us to get across a message. It really is a privilege to be used by him!
Today was my day off, and I slept in I am proud to say! Amanda and I went out to the mall, and since then I've been doing homework. We are in a pretty busy season with exams next week, retreat this weekend, and the regular day to day activities. My missions trip to California is coming sooner than I can imagine, and next Saturday I will be on spring break, headed to Florida! The year is flying by... but I love every day here, no matter how challenging it can be. I'm learning and loving Jesus more and more each day.
