Week NUMBER 6

This week I had class all week from 9-5. It was our Old Testament class and we learned about so much. it was almost too much information to take in to my mind. By 3:30 it was too hard to focus but I pulled through. we also had to film a video for this class. We had 13 scenes from the OT and only 3 days. It was a lot of late nights and early mornings but we all finished it. I helped film and acted in some scenes. we all kind of clashed during the whole project, but when it was all done, we came together because of what we accomplished.

Youth has been really a struggle for me. It's hard for me to stay enthusiastic when there are hardly any kids showing up. I've only been to big youth groups and i just feel more comfortable in larger groups. but i really need to focus on the kids that do show, and show a bigger interest in them. I've also been asking the church about doing worship and last night i finally got things going. so soon ill probably start singing in either the youth service or Sunday service.

So this week all of us Kaleo's went caving near Horn Lake. It was pretty sweet seeing all the formations of the rocks. we turned off all of our head lamps and it was complete darkness in the cave which doesn't sound cool right now but it was at the time.

Earlier in the week we had the first part of our camp ministries class. it was really cool learning how we can minister to youth and children about God. I feel like I am more confident in dealing with difficult circumstances in regards to youth.

The day after the camp ministries class, we all got to go shopping at a place called Goats on a Roof in Coombs. the store reminded me of Europe and i bought a sweet french press coffee maker which i enjoy thoroughly every morning.

Its been a tough go this week with all the homework and disagreements with friends, but everything is sorted out now and i love life here in B.C.

Week nummer fyra

This week at Kaleo, we went surfing in Tofino. While we were there, there was a surf competition called the Cold Water Classic. It was an amazing time seeing all those surfers on the huge waves. when I was surfing i was so focused on it. it took up so much energy and i have never swallowed that much salt water. I picked up surfing pretty quick because i carried my boogie boarding skills over into the mix. it was just a blast learning something completely new. and on that trip i got closer to a girl named Bret. She is pretty great. i can tell she will be a great influence on me.

This weekend I helped out at a woman's retreat. I worked in the kitchen and got to see the other side of camp which was good to see. My shifts were from 6 in the morning until 3. It was sooo hard for me to get up but I enjoyed drinking coffee that much more in the A.M. I got the meet the staff and learned more about them. it was really hard for me to keep a good attitude just because im not too awake in the morning, but i got over myself and loosened up a bit.

during thanksgiving i stayed back at camp and went into town with a bunch of the students and our intern. we had a sweet time hitting up thrift store's, and went out for a family meal. we were all on our way home when my intern ran over a baby deer and it eventually died.

That was my week here at Kaleo

Well this week was awesome
all of us kaleo's went sailing on the pacific ocean near the gulf islands on a vessel by the name of Pacific Grace. I loved being on the ocean. it was so nice being free from phones and the rest of the world. the life of a sailor is totes legit. it's so chill i may just have to take it up for more than 5 days next time.
With such closed quarters, I got to know so many people a lot better, so I feel much closer to everyone here.
The first day was amazing. I climbed to the top of the mast and saw porpuses which are dolphin like things that swim in the water. it was so sweet to be so close.

the food was most brilliant. every meal was pretty delish. me and a couple of my friends helped make pizza one day. it was so much fun. and the pizza was pretty good too.

on another day, me and my friend Anna decided to make a game cuz we were kinda bored. the game was to figure out what role every student and leader would be in a movie. That occupied us for a good hour and a half.

A bunch of the students went off the ship to go pick apples one day and they were the freshest apples ive ever eaten. they were sooooooo good. The cook used those apples for apple pie for breakfast the next day. sooo good :)

I not only learned a lot about everyone else, but a lot about myself on this trip and that was deffs a good thing for me.

week numero dose

So this week was a long one. We had our first week of classes which meant waking up early.
our class was on spiritual formation. it was pretty intense.

last night I went to an event called road tour. road tour is a bunch of kids from camp meeting at different places on the island to join together in the fall after they had all been there in the summer. its just a fun event for them to be free to have fun in a controlled environment.

last week we had our first night at youth group. there's about 25 kids that attend. they are a pretty good bunch and im looking forward to seeing them grow throughout the year.

our church is pretty sweet too. everyone there is really welcoming and so nice. im thankful for such a positive place.

im sooooo excited because tomorrow, we are all leaving to go sailing for 5 days. we get to learn how to run the ship. im looking to get closer with all of the students here. we've already bonded so much. I can't wait to see how this whole year turns out for all of us as we grow and change.
have a good one
