THURS. JUNE 23
Hello one and all!! Sorry i didn't update of the past couple of days. It's been busy with catching up with Outreach (ministry week) stories. Graham even wrote a song about his ministry team. It's to the tune of the song that Adam Sandler sings on the Wedding Singer ("I want to gorw old with you"). Here are Graham's lyrics:
The Outreach Song
We're heading down to the southern tip
We'll do a play in our big cardboard ship
All I wanna do is go on outreach with you
Wanganui is the place to be
We'll sing some songs at resthome ministry
All I wanna do is go on outreach with you
We won't crash
And there's Tash
Playing her part as the ditsy girl
Matt got a free
Kiss on the lips you see
It was put there by a lady who was 93
Did a Scottish waltz on the dance floor
It made me tired but I can't sleep cuz my billet snores
All I wanna do is go on outreach with you
Mainly Music was a lot of fun
It made me wanna make babies but I’m still too young
All I wanna do is go on outreach with you
Drove the wrong way
Were late every day
Used electric blankets cuz it was cold
Learned about Paul
Played fooseball
Tash got a fat lip from a kid who was 2 years old
Josh made lunch with a butter knife
He even baked some muffins like a good housewife
All I wanna do is go on outreach with you
Now we're back, it was an awesome ride
I hope until July I can stay on Ron's good side
All I wanna do is go on outreach with you
I'm really glad I went on outreach with you
Aw, I love my Grammy!!! Well this week we are learning about Jonah from our prinicipal Ron. Whenever he says that "God is the God of second chances" I always get the song from the Jonah VeggieTales movie stuck in my head. Usually on Wednesdays we have a video discussion. There was a video of Ron saying "This evening we are going to try out some new technology". So I thought we were giong to have his lectures on video. I was
sitting by Dan and he started singing the VT theme song. I thought nothing of it. Then the words "JONAH: A VEGGIETALES MOVIE" came on the big screen. You can just imagine how excited I was. i was even almost crying (and yes I have cried over VeggieTales before). I seriously had NO idea we were going to watch it. I mean I thought it would have been cool if we did but i didn't think we actually would. Man, that totally made my
day :) Danny and me and Stacey kept making comments during the movie and now I will never be able to watch the movie without thinking those things (ex. They are green black people! It looks like Graham! What are doing!) Good times :) I"m wearing my VeggieTales t-shirt today just in case Ron says anything about his "lectures" last night :)
I've been noticing that there are a ton of sweet as (that's a Kiwi expression) quotes that are floating about campus. They are more or less inside jokes, but I"ll let you in on them. (Yes i understand that you probably won't understand any of them, because you haven't gotten to know these people the way that I do, but that's okay too):
-Oh, you would!
-Who do you think you are?
-Just kidding....but seriously
-Aw, muffin!
-No! (only Ray can say that one properly)
-Brothers.....BUT....therefore...amen (we kinda took those from
Galatians 6)
-You don't even know!
-Clouds...Blue Sky....Sunshine...(inside joke between me and my girls ;) )
-MINE! (only Danny can pull that one off)
-WHY! (this is basically making fun of Ron's Texan accent)
-Huttah!
I"m sure there's heaps more (another Kiwi term) but those are the only ones that I can think of at the moment.
