To much to type!!!

Well…where on earth do I begin with this blog? I’ll start on the part of earth known as New York. Wow, what a trip. It was amazing! We went there really unexpectant of what we would be doing and ended up coming home knowing so much and seeing so much of what we had heard about. It was really good being able to experience that culture. No, no one got shot, and yes we did fine with getting on and off the subways. Haha. Umm ok. So we were working with Metro Ministries. We had 2 leaders showing us everything named kim and kim which Im sure everyone who reads this would know who they are. They were AMAZING! They made our trip what is was. If it wasnt for them, I donno what it would of been like, but it would of probably not of been very good. Throughout the trip the kind of work that we were doing were all odd jobs. Painting, filling, wrapping presents, sorting keys, serving at their staff retreat, a bunch of things like that. It was fun for sure, but our focus was all over the place. We also got a day of visitation. This gave all of us an opportunity to go out and see where the staff members go each week. See some of the kids, see their living conditions. It was a neat experience. Here’s a picture of me with some of the kids below. I loved watching the interns learn everything. Metro gets 40 interns over the course of 1 semester, and there are 2 semesters in the whole year. It made some of us think about becoming one. umm...we went to church and to a staff meetimg, we met pastor bill the founder of metro, we saw a sunday school demo, and just had a really great time getting to know the staff members and seeing some of the famous places in new york including ground zero and the trump towers. God blessed us with great weather the whole time we were in New York. Great for sightseeing. I have a whole journal of everything that we did, unfortunately I can not tell you everything. But all my pictures from the trip are on my facebook. Thank you all for praying. It was an amazing trip!

Another thing that happened this week was my baptism! It was really good. I was hoping for a few more people to show up, but that is ok. People are busey these days. I had the wonderful privelage (cant spell) of having Amanda baptize me at camp. It was really a blessing to be able to do that again and have so many friends around me to support me and encourage me. Here are a few pictures from that. Oh, and no the ocean was not to cold.

I had youth again this past week. It was good to get back and see the kids faces again. I'm really going to miss them when it's time to leave them in 3 weeks....yes kaleo ends in 3 weeks. I know i know it's a shock. But it's time. It's time to pack up and head out in different directions. As for my direction, I will be at camp still. 10 day break spent in regina with a friend, and then it's back here for AC. I'm really excited for this summer, but not really sure where it will take me. We shall see! umm...this week we have class. our last class. Christian Worldview. It seems to be good from what i've seen so far. After that we have like a few small out trips and a few final papers, and then it's a grad ceremony and time to leave. so a lot is happening, yet at the same time not much is happening. I hope you are all doing well. I am just getting over a cold, so I'm almost well. And umm...yeah. Have a fantastic week! message me if you have any questions about my trip.
