1 Corinthians 13:2

this past week was our surf trip to tofino!
it was so amazing, but it seemed to go by really fast. i cant believe it's almost april! we left tuesday morning and stopped at Coombs and Cathedral Grove as well as a nice waterfall! (same route as last surf trip) once we got to Ucluelet where we were staying in a church we had the afternoon free to roam around town which was exciting. that night we had chapel and the next morning we drove a half hour to tofino to pick up the surf boards and head to the beach! it was a sunny day with nice waves. i had a lot of fun! we then had chapel again on the second night with some local youth and we got to tell them about kaleo and pray for them and their towns of Ucluelet and Tofino. a few people, myself included went surfing again for a second time on thursday which was gross putting on a wet wetsuit but it was still a lot of fun! Jim showed me some tips which i was really thankful that he took the time to do and was able to ride some waves. i never got to standing up on the board but was able to squat so that was still fun :) it was raining that day and after lunch we cleaned up and headed back across the island for Crofton! it was a good trip and i really enjoyed the fellowship with others as well as spending some time with God. friday was a busy day as michelle and chantelle from briercrest came to interview us about our decisions after kaleo and pray for us. we had chapel and then later that day was the juniors retreat so we had a meeting with all the staff at 3:30pm. as my ministry opportunity i was counselling this weekend with Anna who i was so thankful for. we had 7 girls altogether ranging in ages from 9-11. Their names were Mikayla, Nova, Alex, Mercedes, Julia, Sarah, and Darien. It was a jam packed weekend but was also really fun! we played games, went to Q-town for speaking/chapel, and had cabin discussions and prayer times. also on saturday the kidds had many options of what they wanted to do and one of those was the challenge course! i was helping out there for a couple hours getting kids in their harnesses and making sure their helmets fit properly. it was fun working with Tim, Jess, Dave, and Phil! the kids had a lot of fun and left sunday after lunch.
this week we have our last class with Cal MacFarlane and its called Christian Worldview. I really enjoyed what we learned in class today and look forward to the rest of the week!
