weekend fun

í'm getting busier here in africa and its brilliant!!! lol

Last night after i got off work i ended up spending the night with BJ. she is a girl who came here a few years ago to volunteer and ended up staying, and now she actually is fostering a little girl and lives here on the property. she is originally from Holland. its pretty cool. we are the same age and she is now a single mother and has a full time job here in the country. but she is good friend with Jaylene, from my church back there in Canada. so she has been to Canada twice now and spent lots of time in Nanaimo. so last night we hung out and watched movies she took from visiting Canada and pictures from her visits there. it was so nice to chill out and look at pictures from home. lol.

today was work and church!! i love bringing the kids to church. my arms are always full of babies! hectic but fun. after church BJ took her little girl and i took a little one from the babies home and we went out for coffee at the local tiny airport. it was fun to let the kids play and look at planes and have a cool drink on the outdoor patio. just chillen out and chatting. it was so nice to take out one of the kids and hang out one on one with her. actually the one i took with me is one of my all time favorite kids. she is so cute and ladylike. i'm pretty sure she actually ENJOYS tidy up time and she is always dressed like a little princess. and keeps herself really clean all day. and gets frustrated if she 'has snot'lol. i'm forever being asked for tissues for 'the snot'. :)

when we got back i pretty much hopped back in the car with Taylor and Fort and headed to Monte Casino for church. God First has their evening service in one of the theaters at the casino. it was awesome! we tape the service and show it the next week in Urban Life so there was lots of people there from Urban life taping it and helping out. very cool to see the partnership that is happening. and PJ is a pretty lekker preacher. i really enjoy his messages. today especially was brilliant. speaking on the part in Jonah where the Ninavites had 40 days to destruction and they put on their sackcloth and repented. the analogy being that we as people have 39 days of life and then on the 40th is when our life is over and what are we doing with our 39 days. ok there was a lot more that that to the preach but i'm tired. lol.

now i'm waiting for a call from my parents and then i'm going to bed! i'm soooo tired. getting up every day at 5 am is for the birds!! btw... today was a nice warm day but for those of you with the misconception that africa is hot all the time... .i'm sleeping with two blankets on my bed and socks on at night because of how cold it gets over night! seriously you wouldn't believe how chilly i am at night. once the sun goes down this place coooooollllsss down! not to mention the daily rain showers! its is lightning and thundering gently as i type!!! :) i love the weather here honestly. it changes so fast!!! love it.

thanks for all the messages and love. love you all!!!
