Allo! its saturday morning. wow, what a week! at some points i thought it would never end and now i'm surprised to see another week has flown by.
on sunday jessa and i hopped on the skytrain and went downtown. we were walking around and just as we were about to go into hmv we heard someone beckoning us. we turned around to see a cute young girl (21) and her friend approaching us. the girl began to ask me if i would let her cut my hair (as if i needed any pursuasion). she gave me her card and told me that i should be there at 1 the next day. long story short, i worked it out with my leaders (it cut into our outreach prep time) and i got my hair cut! for free! it was awesome. the place is called rain boutique and...well lets just say it wasn't a place that i would usually frequent. definately fun
tuesday was chili wagon and i wasn't having a good day. we had finished classes and at about 6 we go over to help gordy with the chili that we serve later on at granville park. this ministry has been going on for something around 15 years, but right now the neighbors are proposing that we move because we bring drug dealers and other stuff to the park. we were having people that use chili wagon fill out questionares so i got to talk to a lot of people. i dont usually, so it was a nice change. i met a guy named tony who has actually been to kuala lumpur (the city i'll be living in in malay). i couldn't believe it; this random man, living in the middle of van city, homeless, would be able to tell me about his story of sailing all over my mission field. i was blessed. i also got to spend a little time we a sweet little lady named dee. so my mood was altered for a bit.
by the time wednesday came around i was crying. it was a difficult night and i was pretty pouty. thursday morning instead of lectures we had ministry time. so all my tears came out and i guess i kinda got down to the meat of everything that had been bothering me.
friday three of us got baptised! it was awesome. brielle, erik, and robert got baptised. all afternoon friday i was out shopping with sam and jen. i bought myself a hoodie. but i'm still looking for christmas presents. this next week is on spiritual warfare and a lady named Patience is speaking. we've drawn names out of a hat, and we are all angles for people right now. we got to do little things secretly for each other this next week.
today i'm going with 3 other girls to help babysit for the staff retreat. i have to admitt the only reason i agreed is because we get to stay in a hotel with a pool. i know, selfish. but at least i'm honest. hah. it should be fun. pray i get all of my homework done. i have to do all of my journal, finish readin captivating and do the book report on it. and there are probably other things that i can't remember right now too.
