Jan..
Jan started well with the meeting with the Well as you should know! It was amazing month, very busy, but im glad that everything happened and it worked that way! It was pretty awesome to be honest.
We had the privilege of Paul Gibbs and Adam (from texas) coming to spend a week with us. Adam spent a day with the Westside team, which was fun even though he cheats at card games! I was glad to have him however as he carried the coffee pump from the well.. slightly ironic i had help both times when i had to carry a single pump, now we get two, and i havent had any :( )
While Paul and Adam where here Missions fest happened, and we helped with the youth rallies and the young adults one, its was pretty neat and lots of fun, however some annoying band called rescue got stuck in the paisers heads not that they are talented but you can only take so much.. come to my reessscccuuussseeeeee, im so exicted..reunited... so missions fest was early mornings and late nights because guess who turned up, yep thats right brent (hes like a bad smell in a good way i guess) and when pais and him get together theres normally some late night meal at the end! so we went out both nights with him and scot, the first night rebecca, rebekka, ali, rose, scot, brent and i went to martini's and the second night, brent, scot, rose, ali and i went to dennys on the NORTH shore! cos brent wanted to drive through stanely park.. i guess we cant complain huh!
Paul came to talk at Utown on the sunday which was awesome, Tim Horman loved it! and maddie, kyle and sam got to play in the worship band. People where interested in the vision and in Pais and ive had lots of loverly comments since then! Paul, Tom and I then went out for lunch,.,. could Paul start marty.... ermmm...
We then one and half days of intense training from Paul, Rebecca and Adam mostly on post-modernism and how that fits with Pais, and lots of exciting changes that are going to happen! wooop!! watch pais' space!
Dennis created so amusment this month as he found youtube and posted a video of chloe! why i dont know, ask him, if you want to see it search for chloe dog hockey... its not that interesting to be honest, i would prefer to put up a video of them west coast swing dancing but they seem to practise when im out and attend dances when im busy :(
Jan was a busy month for the youth leadership team - well kris and i and tanis on the night. i had the crazy idea of doing a 'posh' 3 course meal to get the youth in the church talking to the leaders... we didnt expect 40 people to show up! yep! it was a sucess! we hope! so me and kris had a busy end to jan, leaving all the shopping - trip to costo, baking/cooking and setting up of the church until the day of the event! however i think we pulled it off with minum stress and we had tons of comments about how nice the meal was! soo i guess that works huh! we searved salad and posh bread with olive oil and balsmic vin. for starters, then a roast beefer with mash, peas, carrots, trees and cauliflower for main and then lemon tarts (we cheated and brought already done bases and packet lemon filling - we did have to mix stuff to make that tho!) and ice cream for pudding. then griffians anvil played! wooop!!!!!!
over and out and on to feb...
