Good times with friends

I'm Home!!!! It is such a nice break. It's good to see family and friends again. My flight went well and I made it home safe. Two days ago I spent the day christmas shopping with my sister, then we went over to a friends house that night.

Yesterday I found out that one of my friends from camp was going to be baptized. Me and three of my other friends from camp drove down to Port Perry to see here get baptized at the night service at her church. We met up with some more friends and it turned out to be a sweet reunion. It was so good to see them. They are such a amazing group of people who I have leant so much from in the past.

I haven't had a chance to write about my time before leaving Kaleo so let's back track a bit. Before leaving we had a pretty fun week at Kaleo. On the weekend everyone went to a conference in Vancouver except just a small group of us. The camp was pretty empty but we made the best of it. We went to Victoria one day to drop Kaitlyn off at the airport and after that we just hung out for the day in the city. We When shopping at mec and we sat in chapters and just enjoyed the time away from camp. That same weekend we went to the Badke's house and made crapes with Danny. We slept over at there house then made french toast in the morning. Well we were over at there house we got to hang out with Roscoe lot's. He's a pretty sweet dog.

Just before leaving for Ontario we had to hand in our paper about women in the church. This paper was hard for me to write. I found it hard to know what I thought about the topic and researching was also difficult. It took me a long time to finish. I ended up staying up all night to finish but now it is done and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone from Kaleo again after Christmas.

Christmas is Coming

So...
This week we had foundation of Church Ministry. I really liked that class. I liked the discussions we had in class. We had our exam today and I think I did well.

It has been flooding lots on the island this week. we have not been effected by it but it has effected Duncan lots. This week a bunch of us went over there and helped them make sandbags to stop the flooding. I went into town on another day as well but not to sandbag. I originally was not going to go because I was working on homework but then Tim and Bob took my computer and book and would not give them back until I said I would go. So I just decided to go and work on my homework in the coffee shop. I didn't get a whole lot done but it was nice to get away from camp for a bit.

I didn't get to go to youth group or church this weekend because i had to work in the kitchen. I didn't mind the kitchen but I was disappointed that I missed lunch with my church crew. They all went to our pastors house for lunch.

The end half of this week most people from Kaleo are going to a conference thing but there is also a bunch of us staying behind as well. I am going to be staying behind. I think it was a good idea not to go because I have some papers due right after. I am also really excited to hang out with people who are staying back.

I am starting to get even more excited for Christmas. I am looking forward to a nice break and a chance to see everyone again.
