Camping

Hey everyone
This week was really good. We had a man named Dave Cole from New Zealand talk about knowing God and the Character of God. This week was really busy because we have been getting ready for camping and we had a book report due today. Yesterday was Valentines Day so I made valentine's for everyone. The cadbury chocolate here is better than in Canada, also more expensive. In the evening we cleaned up our house and then the boys came over and surprised us with ice cream sundaes and valentines. It was very nice. After that I went to finish my book report and a few of us sat on the deck and wrote. It started raining really hard so I just stood in the rain and watched the lightning and got drenched it was awesome. Tommorow I leave for camping for two weeks so I will have no communication. Just so you guys know if I do not email back I am not dead, just camping. Love you all.

Feb. 8th.

So, yesterday Kim and David (my outreach leaders) talked to our contact in Vanuatu. We found out that they would love us to come there and pioneer a youth program for them. We prayed about it and decided that we are going to go there for our whole 2 months of outreach. I am really excited because we actually get to start something up and work really hard and build relationships. I am much more of a stay in one place and build relationships kind of girl and I definitely think this what God had in mind for me. Ashley and I were thinking that all of our training in camp ministry will prove to be helpful in this endeavor. I am also thankful for a brother in ministry who I could go to for ideas if I need to. This week we did inductive biblical studies and read Philemon a lot. It was good though. I'm excited for camping.

Outreach

Hey guys,
Sorry I have not posted much lately but I will try to do a better job.
I wanted to let all of you guys know that I found out tonight that for my outreach I am going to the islands. I will be going to Fiji and possibly Vanuatu. I am really excited about what God has in store. We don't know much about what we are going to be doing yet but I will let you guys know as I know. I have a really fantastic team filled with lovely people and lots of Canadians.
We are going camping in like a week and a half. It will be really fun. We still don't know where we are going but it will be lots of fun.
This week we are learning about inductive bible study and just studying the bible more and stuff. I'm liking it, but this week is really busy.
We are camping on my birthday so if you want to send me a birthday card or something (hint hint) send it soon! I don't know what else to write. I think we might be going to Magnetic Island this Sunday. Should be a good time. If you have specific questions for me let me know because I never know what to write on this thing. If you want to write me a letter, you should, I like them a lot. Lots of love.
