feb...

a lot has happend this month even though its only the 13th day!

1) I had to shift my scheudle and time with Tom around because denai and amy need me now on a wednesday lunch time, so i started helping out at the lunch club and also we started to help out at the games mini on a friday afternoon which is awesome. we are allowed to openly advertise a cafe at uchapel on a friday night. last friday the cafe started up and we had 4 students from uhill which is pretty amazing! Please thank God for this and pray that the start to really connect with the youth at uchapel and bring their friends.

2) Lawrance the senior pastor of PGCC annouced hes going somewhere up north that i cant spell, in march. he will be missed, but im sure him and roseanne will be blessed greatly up in that place i cant spell! Please pray for them and for the church as we transition.

3) The weeked that started on friday the 2nd feb was a busy one. we had a youth ice cream cake - for my birthday - and they got me a cupcake - loads of icing- and a bag of carrots! my repuation goes before me! on saturday i went snowtubing with Ali, Rose, Scot and Brent - who showed up 4 hrs late due to lack of telling us about the dentist; he was having his teeth cleaned for 1hr 30 mins. we then had noodles in a box..photos to follow.. we loved tubing and want to go again.. anyone up for taking us?? we ate a cupcake with tons of icing on it with candles on it - in the car on the mountain minus Brent who then complained!
'brent you've got something in your teeth' ... followed by mad rush to scotts left wing mirror to check his teeth followed by 'no i havent i havent eaten anything yet'... On my birthday anne and dennis took me to dim sum and then to a place with 218 ice cream flavours after church.. i am now old - 19. arghh! i got so cool pressies:
*english chocolate of Brent and Ali - they brought it when i was there teeeeeheee

4) last week i lead the team, although denai was sick :( it was cool! i enjoyed it wooop. rebekka came to help us on friday so that was fun!

5) a strange lad called brad came to stay lol, he will prob be coming more often cos he works downtown but lives somewhere crazy and hes anne and dennis nephew. its not uber exciting but if i ever talk about him thats who he is lol

6) i attended bc student forum this weekend and got to hang out with christian business men and women! it was amazing and on clarity in busyness! extremly helpful, would deffiently go again! i had to dress up smart to go to the vancouver club ha ha

heres what me and rose where up to in dec/jan..
Despite lack of blogs the roses havent withered and died, they are infact blooming. we have been very busy due to the up and coming event somepeople call valentine's day; roses this time of year are very much in demand, but we would love to tell that we are expanding into new areas such as a gmail account and a card company called one short designs. This hints at the busy lifestyle we have been leading, however you will be surprised at the amount of things we have managed to fit in.


December...
*pais christmas party.. rebecca b pulled all stops and spent more the the $5/$1 dollar allowed for gifts, creating some stress while playing swap the dollar gift.. but we all love rebecca so we forgive her
*we where painfully seperated across the big bad blue wet thing for 2 whole weeks

Jan...
*OneLife...www.onelifeyouth.com. amazing, got to see and spend time with Brent and Chad
*walked over Burrad bridge in a hurry to get to the cinema to see James Bond with Mr. Brent White. We where late due to one of the roses lack of navigation skills, but we made it in the end. James however looked distorted. One lucky clone was paid for.
*MissionsFest... come to my reeecccuuuusssseeeee.... im so excited.... reunited....bum bum tish tish. we got to hang out with Brent, Chad, Scot and Adam - from texas pais :) we added to our canadian friendship circle with Scot, who's pretty neat but wipes his bottom on his sleeve when tree planting.
*Fresh... Paul Gibbs and Adam blessed with their presence and made sure we hadnt burnt down Canada. Paul seemed amused at the joint blog and e-mail account... i wonder what he thinks now we have 2 and a company...
