Saturday: we travelled to Fort Chipywan with 9 of us(7 teens 2 leaders) in a bus for 12 hours... Nuf said. It was a good trip but it was a loooong drive!
Sunday: I shared my testimony with the church. That was cool and then we just relaxed and hung out the rest of the day
Monday: First day of VBS with the kids and I fell in LOVE with them! God also opened the doors for a great opportunity to reach out to the youth in the community by hanging out at the youth drop in centre. So that was good.
Tuesday: Day 2... Interesting day. Good but interesting. We had almost double the kids from the first day! Thanks to the youth centre. Then I got a phone call from my case worker and my training course I have to take was moved from the end of April to the middle of March! Yeah for progress!
Wednesday: VBS went great, then I got forgotten at the church for 2 hours... That was a good time! :)
Thursday: I was getting a little tired... As I think everyone was, so you can only imagine how long the day was.... BUT THEEEENNNN.... I got another phone call :) my home visits that were supposed to start after April have been moved around cause my case worker applied and has been approved to start them early! So she's coming to see me at my house this coming Friday and Saturday!!! Yes Friday Feb 24th and Saturday the 25th woohoo!!
Friday: I got a call through the night from a concerned sister who told me dads heart was acting up. The next day I called him and found out he was admitted to the hospital and was being sent to Edmonton cause it was an actual heart attack... Yippee.. Again.
Saturday: Traveling home.... Yowzaa. I was tired and emotional and going a little crazy. Found out when I got home the they had taken dad in for surgery and put a stint in his heart.
Today (Sunday): Went to church, called my dad, who was discharged and he was feeling great. Now I have watched 3 movies. It's been a very boring and quiet day...but so needed!
Over all, yes, I've had a long up and down ride of a week for sure! But God has taught me so much over this last week, He's taught me patience, He's taught me about watching what I say, about how to listen to others and how to recognize the needs of others. There's SO much more then that that He taught me or showed me, but I don't have the time, not the energy to type it all out today... But I'll keep you posted, it's time for me to catch some zz's :)
I also added a couple pics of the team, and a few of the things we did.... Including what happens when the boys get a little overtired :)
God Bless!
