Sweet 19!

Happy Birthday to me,
I live in the college.
I'm bad at making new songs . . .
So I think That I'll stop!

I realized that I could never be a song writer. Not one of my good qualities. I can do crazy camp songs though . . but then, who can't. But it is true, it is my 19th birthday today. Also the first birthday I haven't spent with my parents...This would be a little difficult since I am in another timezone than them. Also at this time, I would be telling Elise's mom, Shari, that I would like a cheeseball, and the coolest cake ever- a GIANT cookie, with ice cream, then ANOTHER COOKIES ON TOP! Did you get all that? Yes it's a giant ice cream sandwich. One of my favourites. I have to call like all my relatives also, well, to those I have numbers for. SO . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Youth Group

Tonight was my second youth group at Central Church. And let me tell you. . .I am so glad that I come here. We first just mingle around and talk, visit whatever you want to call it. Then we would play games. Darrell and Ryan played Mafia, the youth enjoyed it. Then during Dave thought it would be smart to get this pole thing, and stick it up his nose, then "up" Ian's butt. Then he tried to touch me with it. gross. But after we do small groups. And it is my favourite time during the night. We go by a book with different questions that may or may not challenge us. And then after we discuss them. I like sitting and just listening to the group, I don't really know them that well, so I really enjoy what they have to say. Plus we got really into it, and some youth really hit the spot with some of their replies. After we do worship, We sang a song that I forget the name to, but we sang it at the college, thenConsuming Fire . . and let me tell you, I love how it is sung! My favourite part is at the solo guitar part it always gets me! One of my favourites of all, then Blessed be Your Name. The youth here are really talented in this area! Blows me away, nothing else to do but listen and praise God! I am glad that God has sent me here to do my Christian Service Program. I can do lots here, and the youth, and leaders are awesome. I have made new friends, and I can't wait for what the future.

The Sentinel

This movie was cool. . . Robbie, Laura, Valerie, Darrell, Stephannie, and I were watching it. I really enjoy action/adventure movies, I can never sit still, and I end up grabbing whatever is the closet to me and screaming at the actors on T.V. (Just ask Katherine when we were watching Posiedon) Yes this was one of those movies. It about a guy who works for the president, and he gets framed for conspiracy to kill the president. So Yeah, by the end of the movie, our eyes were glued to the T.V. I was screaming at it, Robbie, and Valerie were laughing at me. So when the movie ended Darrell was so upset because the main guy didn't get the girl! He ended up with nothing. . . But . . .. none of us really expected him to get the girl anyways, just so happens that Darrell did. Darrell wanted to call it "The man who got shot three times, lost his job and didn't get the girl" But really, how catchy is that. . .
So that was my night. I'm enjoying my days, however I do find myself home sick (noticing this after Darrell's devo.) but yeah, I do miss my family, but Christmas is coming up and I will see them soon! YAY!!!
So.................... I must fall asleep now, Tired am I!

So ..

So far my time in P.E.I. has been awesome. On Friday we went to Canoe Cove Christian Camp. I learnt how to play 9 square, I didn't do very well, but I did hit it out of my square a few times (as in like 3). Then we all played skunk (YAY FRISBEE!) I was doing awesome only because no one passed it to me, but that was okay since people were whipping the frisbee at each other. Then we had supper, Kevin did some hamburgers on the BBQ. Then came chapel, sang somes like All the earth will sing your praises, Psalm 9/ I will Praise, and we wanna see Jesus lifted high. If we sang any other song I didn't write it because I forgot. Finally after there was campfire. I enjoyed it because we were all incharge, just sang random songs, then Ben played his guitar and we sang more worship-py songs. I liked having the campfire by the beach, the waves are quite soothing. Then we all went to Ben's house and had chips, drink and chit-chatted. It was a fun day, full of adventure.
Then on Saturday the college went on the Harbour Hippo. It's a big car/ boat that took us on a tour of downtown Charlottetown, and told us funny interesting facts. Then in 30 mins we went into the water with the music of "Jaws". The hippo went around the harbour for 30 mins, and then we went back up on land, and had lunch at Peake's Quay (pronounced as Key). Then we just hung out around the college..
On Sunday I went to Central Church of Christ. I met Dave, his wife Anna, and many others. I also got volunteered to work there for my Christian Service Program. CENTRAL HERE I COME! I like the church, and the people are so welcoming!
After church a few of us gathered at the Marshall's house to go over what things we will be doing with youth and so on. WE EVEN GET OUR OWN BINDERS WITH THINGS IN THEM! That is neat! Well for only knowing that I was going to help there for about 2 hours, I was excited. I love working with kids, and youth, and others, so I hope that I can do well for the church here! Then there was the conovation service at chapel, it was like a welcome thing. Jim Midget spoke on "The Cost of Being A Disciple" Very neat, I've never heard him speak before so I enjoyed it. Then there was food, I mingled around. Then when we should have studied, we went to Dairy Queen. Then I memorized Matthew 5: 1-12, and Read 3 books in the O.T.
YEP It's teh college life for me, and I'm lovin' it!

MCC

I've finally moved into the island. My time at the Ross's was sweet! I haven't seen them since they moved from Hamilton. But then I moved into the college on the 4th, and Yes, it is different BUT I like it. I've met so many new people, and I did some grocery shopping, and just shopping in general. On the first day here we all sat in the chapel and sis some worship songs with Kevin. Then after Kevin gave us all a bag (an old potato bag) of goodies like: a bag of cookies, and coupons, and a watch that doesn't work for anyone, and lots of other things. Then we had nachos, and visited. In the evening the girls made the guys watch A Cinderella Story. They didn't complain until Ben came in. And I know for a fact that Darrel enjoyed it, just by the way he was sitting and starring at the screen. Well I'm goi g shopping now with Katherine, Robbie, and John (James brother) So I write back later!!!
Ok so It's later now . . . we went around and shopped, I had to get a USB cord for my printer that dosn't even work on my laptop. -_-. Then we went to this chinese buffet, then came home. Today was my first day of the Oral Communication class. Tom made us anwser questions up at the front of the room, and even one that only one person knew about (it was transubstantiation). yeah . . . But it was fun
YESTERDAY WE DID THE APTITUDE TEST. What they say about it is true. I think I got like 15 out of 150. . . It made my brain fall apart.
But I have homework so I should do it. Later!
