ANOTHER POST YET AGAIN

This week I went over to missions fest in Vancouver. I wasn't very stoked on going at first because I had no idea what missions fest was. The first day I went to one seminar then walked out because it was pretty boring and after that I went to a documentary on persecution in Egypt called Freedom Fighter. It was pretty crazy to see everything that is happening in the world because I had no idea that any persecution of Christians was going on. I had heard of it in the past but just assumed it was over.

The second day I put a bit more effort into the sessions. I had a bad attitude going into missions fest and I was naive about the whole thing so I prayed that I would get something out of this weekend. Later, I went to a really good seminar about film production and there I met Chris Atkins. We talked for a brief while and I asked him how I could get involved in helping out persecuted Christians. He told me about a website where you can pledge your support to the One Voice Movement. http://www.onemillionvoices.org/ (You should check it out) So it was just so cool to meet Chris Atkins and talk to him about filming and to learn from an expert.

I'm kind of interested in going to film school but ill see where I end up. I'll just have to keep praying about next year and see where I'm lead to go.

Today Mel had her baby so Nate and I went to see her and Kevin and the baby of course. it was so tiny and squishy and apparently she ate her own poo. but it was so cool to see her. Her name is Rose which suits her because when she cries her face scrunches up and she turns red. But i guess the name works any time because there are pink roses out there too. Anyways I've gone on for long enough

Until next time...

MOUNT WASHINGTON

This week has been one of the most amazing weeks at Kaleo. We all got to go up to Mount Washington to shred gnar for a week. On the first day, conditions were crap. it was so icy when we first went out. The second day I decided to go to the training park with Nate and Ryan. I thought it would be a great idea to go off some jumps. I went off the first one no problem then fell right away. but the guys didnt even see me go off! the second i fell again right away and the third i landed right on my tail bone and it really sucked. i couldn't sit down for a day and a half. after that we had a day off to snowshoe or cross country ski. i had to sit out that day cuz my tail bone hurt too much, but i was back out thursday and i was so glad because there was such sick powder out that morning. it was amazing to shred through.

i got alot closer to the guys this week even though we hang out all the time, and i reconnected with a lot of other students. I already miss being out on the hill and want to go back as soon as possible.

Back for round 2

Well most of us are back for second semester here at school. i wasnt really stoked to come back because my break wasnt too great and i had a pretty bad attitude because of what went on. my mindset coming back was horrible. im trying to change my attitude and take notice to change it everyday and it's been a battle but there have been improvements. i recently got sick, so today i feel like poop, but its only a lame cold so im pretty sure ill pull through.

Lately, im much happier with the people around me and we all seem to be getting along better than ever. As much as i want my room to be cleaned, i cant be bothered because im lazy and theres always something else to do. but i feel a roommate cleaning day coming on. so it shouldnt take long if we all chip in. (I seem like a neat freak, but im not at all)

im super stoked to go snowboarding with everyone and shred some gnar.
