Hitchhikers and Auctions!

Last week was the best week all semester (didn't get much work done at all but it was definatly worth it). My friend Daniel hitched hiked from Calgary to come visit for a few days which was such a blessing getting to know him better and to have numerous battle ship competetions and just give him a lil taste of what life is like in the big town of Caronport. It was so refreshing just having a friend from Ontario here to talk about life back at home and actually him understand what and who I'm talking about. So fun. These are pics that we took on our photo shoot that didnt last very long cause it was flippin cold. the next day was even colder but I didnt realize it until I got from bite on my ears after only being outside for 15 minutes. You guys can't complain about cold till you've been out here. YIKES:P

On Thursday some of the girls in the highschool who I am freinds with came over for Spagetti and catch phrase. afterwards we wen to a dating auction that a girl i work with at Joe's Place was putting on. It started from her joking that she should auction herself off for a date to the highest bidder and donate the money for kids from Joes Place (drop in center i volunteer at in Moose Jaw)to come to Youth Quake (big youth ralley). SO what started as a joke ended up being the best night of the entire year at Briercrest.(I literally had to massage my face cause it hurt so bad from laughing.).Our goal for the auction was to raise $600 but God blew us away by bring out like probably 1/4 of the school and we ended up raising over $3800.00!!! God is sooo good! I think we are taking something like 70 youth this weekend.

Please pray that GOd would reveal himself to these youth. SO many of them are so hungry for truth. These youth are from such broken homes and have had super hard lives. I am praying that God will reveal to them the hope they can find in Him. Please if you think of praying for our youth and for our leaders this weekend (feb 23-25) I know GOd will bless you for it.

I'm so pumped to see what God is going to do. I know He has a purpose for each of these youth to be here this weekend and I am so excited to see how he is going to move and work in this place.

anywho i have tons of work to do before the youth start showing up so ill catch you all later. i hope your all doing well. I love you all tons
