The Week before the Missions Trip!

sunday was pretty awesome day, i went to IBC and got dressed up all canadian!!

and i carried the flag up the isle for the first service! we were celebrating international day and all the different countries/diversiites in that church. there is so many! and it was really cool to see. after there was a bunch of food from differnt countries and that was really good.

thats nina and jayna holding the indian and costa rican flag while im with the canadian one! than in the afternoon i went for a 10k run and did everyhting awesmoe but killed my leg abit, according to jose who gave me a most excellent leg massage, it was cause of the latic acid build up because i run, than dont do anything and than run and so that according to him is why its injured. its better now though! than after for the ppl who went to arenal, we had a suprise birthday meal for erin since her bday is on the missions trip!! it was really fun. we had grill cheese and tomato soup and than played up and down the river! :)

thats erin being surprised! in the evening we had worship and that was nice and that was my sunday. So monday came along and it was like any other monday. we had worship in the morning and than class. this time class was on 1/2 Timothy taught by Clarissa and it was quite good. i enjoyed it and never knew that you could get so much out of it! than in the afternoon, after 2 weeks of not going, we made it to the soup kitchen...however it didnt turn out soo good.

theres not much to go with. we attempted played on a "field" beside it but kids kept getting cut so we stopped with the rocks, we couldnt do much with them in the soup kitchen itself so it was a very low key, kinda awful day as the stuff we planned didnt go so well.

the kids sat in the construction thing while cody gave the devo. it was intresting. after when we got back we just chilled and than in the evening we had class with clarissa again and cont on with Timothy. on tuesday we had class in the morning on Timothy and than in the afternoon it was ministry and i ended up writing my paper and just kinda not doing a lot. in the evening we had doctrine of christ with don marco and that was pretty decent. on wed we had camineta and i was with janet, don marcos wife, and that was super nice. i enjoyed talking to her and we had a great discussion on guys, marriage, parents with "guys there daughters bring home" etc... stuff like that and it was nice. i enjoyed it lots. after it was work day and of cousre i inured myself on sunday from the 10k and also bashed up my elbow a bit so i was really hoping for a low-key job. and thank you god i got one! it was the sheets for the casita than cleaning the gym and apartment. very easy and nice. i enjoyed it lots. after than it was a missions trip meeting, we got our scheudle for the week, our t-shirts, the ppl were staying with. im staying with erin! :) yay! and than we presented what we were gonna do for the different ministrys and than i walked to the store with cody and gaia because i needed some things for the missions trip. they ended up getting wings and than we ate them in the boat house. i didnt mooch of them, they offred and i accepted :P it was fun. i really enjoy hanging out with those 2 boys. it makes me happy. there so fun and so entertaining. after i relaized i missed a skype call with emily :( i was terribly sad becaues i got caught up in the missions trip stuff. not good! hopefully we can skype soon. after that than we had class on the law of life and death taught by don marco and it was good. on thurs we had our last class on timothy, than i ended up hanging out with a bunch of little tico boys, ususally pablo(he wasnt there) or jose(sick) usually does it and so me and german played soccer with them. cutest kids ever! it was so fun! jose was there but he was dictating, not really playing or doing much because of sickness. and it is something i would do again. than i walked to the store with kiley and than came back, made some KD as we had no supper tonight because of fasting for the missiosn trip so we get the money from the would be meal towards our missions trip. twas good. than i went over to diego and claris for a bit and watchd a bit of ratatoulie, and than i went to my familys house because i wanted to hang out with them before we left and we had juice and peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies! so amazing! than im writing this, still havnt packed...should prolly do that soon. ya, but were leaving for the missions trip tomorow. cant beleive its already here and when we come back, were only have 3 weeks left! :( going so fast. o well, missions trip here we come! cheers :)0
