Hello There

So today I was surprised to find I had a package waiting for me from SWERV my youth group! Inside was a CD (thanks Jodran!), some notes, a sticker book, a cool shirt which I am wearing right now, a calender, a Calvin and Hobbs book!, Gum, Candaian candy, a skipping rope, some photos of around my church, tea (whichI am drinking),and tanless taning lotion. THANK YOU to all who contributed! It was really great.

I can't believe that there is less then two weeks until outreach begins! I leave December 5th and after about 20 hours of being in the air, will arrive in Bali, Indonesia. So far all we know for sure is that our first stop will be to an orphanage that is associated with other things. We have been learning skits to do when we are over there.

A couple ofweeks ago we had an outreach prep week where everything was unknowen. We actually had to perform one of the skits a couple times right on the U of H campus, which was a very hard thing to do, especially since it was a last minute surprise. During that week I learned to expect the unexpected which was a good thing for outreach.

This past week we had Dr. Ron Carlson speak to us about apologetics which was really great. I learned alot during his lectures and feel like I can also apply what I learned from him on my outreach.

That's all for now!

Hello There


Just thought I would give you a quick update as to what has been going on recently. Last week the entire school went on a camping trip which was really great,and some good bonding time. Our speaker for this week has been one of the directors here and he has been teaching on the nature of God.
For my team going to Indonesia, we still have not recieved any new information. I got put in charge of food and meals on outreach though, so that should be interesting. Well that's all for now!
