SATURDAY APRIL 2

Man it's definitely time for a major update! Now in my last blog update i left you with saying that we were heading to Totara Springs for our ministry week. It was pretty cool there. it's near Matamata which is where they filmed Hobbiton. We didn't get a chance to see it because we busy with working and teaching at the camp but I'm sure that one of these days I"ll see Hobbiton.

So the camp reminded us alot of Briercrest. I mean just the massiveness of it and that they even had their own bookstore. I send some of you girls encouragement cards thati bought from there. Me, Hayden (our leader from school), Vicky and Charlie were in charge of the 10-12 year olds.
We basically taught them the basics of the gospel message like
Who is Jesus?
Why Did Jesus come?
What did He teach?
What is sin?
How did Jesus take away our sins?
What do we need to do to be forgiven?
After we're forgiven what can we do now?

I taught the lesson on What did Jesus teach. At first i think i confused the kids because it just seemed like was teaching at a Capernwray level and not at the level that these kids were at. So i just said a really quick prayer in my mind and then the ords just seemed to make sense to those kids. And afterward it just seemed like that lesson was the one that the kids remembered the most because they were able to remember most of what was said. It just goes to show that you can't really do anything without God's help.

It was tons of fun meeting those kids and just having a blast with them. In the evenings we kinda had a couple "movie nights" and we watched "School of Rock", "Recess", and part of "An American Tale".

We were there until Monday afternoon and even though I haven't seen any of my friends from school in about 10 days I was just so happy to see them again. I mean i almost started crying i was just that happy. It was awesome.

Tuesday was pretty much getting ready for 2 week break. Basically it's, me,Nikki, Stacey, Ruth and Raymond all travelling together. Actually this whole we pretty much spend on planning our trip. Our original plan was that during the 2nd week of 2 week break we'd travel around the
South Island. This is because during the first week Ray's at a camp, Stacey's travelling with her mom and I'm travelling with my parents. However after talking with some people we've come to the conclusion that it would be better to travel around teh North Island cause that way we could just relax and chill out and not get stressed out about having not enough time in the South Island. so prayer about those future travels would be greatly appreciated :)

On Wednesday we had a presentation on the Passover Meal and what the different things in the meal symbolized. It was pretty cool to see how all of those things fit together. Don't you worry I've got tons of pictures to eventually put on the blog so I"ll just explain more about that later :)

Thursday morning I got THE best wake up call ever! If you've seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail then you'd understand this: Nick, Jamie, Eric, and Mark walked around the rooms chanting. Then Eric yelled "BRING OUT YOUR DEAD" and instead of beating their heads with a bible Mark had a pot and banged on that. Man did that ever make my morning! It was just stinking hilarios!! I wish you could have seen it for yourself.

SUNDAY APR. 3

Man do i ever LOVE the Phantom of the Opera. I think my piano playing of those songs are getting better even though don't really practice every day but it just helps to practice reading paino notes so that my eyes don't forget how to read.

Now back to telling you about my week: On Friday afternoon we took the Extreme team to the ABS lodge to kayak and hang out for a bit. We also had the chance to help Peter Bichan pick mushrooms and we sort of had a little "mushroom fry" at the Lodge.

That night we sort of had a "spur of the moment" worship service so that was cool too.

Later on the night while getting ready for bed there was mouse in our room. Ya you read that right, a real rodent type mouse was in our room. Trust me, we screamed as if there was no tomorrow. Oh man! It totally freaked Amy out and me and Nikki we climbing on our bunks and chairs to get away from the thing. We opened to door and it eventually ran out. Ruth said that she heard us screaming and she's on the other side of campus.
