Has a week passed already? It seems like only yesterday that I was just a child at play..
I will start out by saying this, if it was not for friends and family, I would gladly live in Turner Valley for this place is absolutly amazing. Never have I been able to see mountains, climb hills, and sit in a fresh water river that flows out of the mountains so freely and easily. Its a whole new world with a new fantastic point of view that sends me into the amazement and wonder of God everytime I look out my window. There is so much more to be seen and even more so that can ever be done. So.. Sorry to the Manitoba Plains that I am quite sure hold some sort of wonder and marvel that I myself, perhaps just havent seen in my 24 years of life living there. However, I was taught every day of my childhood that even when we grow old, home will be where the heart is... never were words so true, my heart is far, far away, home is too.
With the messy stuff aside, I will now attempt to inform and delight you with some of the things I have been doing thus far. Primarily this week I have had two jobs, one in which I was a landscaper, or glorified gardner, and the other has been as an electrian. Odd I know, but I have been working on and looking for a lot of the bare necessities here at YWAM Turner Valley and Evan (Maintenance Director) has provided me with a long list which will attest to that. My work here will continue to take me through the joys of plumbing and carpentry as well, but for now I will just have to be satisfied with whats been givin to me.
Aside from work, I have been taking time to enjoy the outdoors! This thursday evening I went mountain biking with a couple guys and just spend the time following the leader wherever he may go.. which was awesome. In doing so I got the chance to take some pretty sweet photos of the landscape as he lead us up a mountain. Yesterday we went shopping at walmart and I bought a few things to add to my collection of many things I dont need on this trip. Looking around youd think I have everything, but who cares, its no big deal, I still kinda want more.
Tranquil as a forest, and on fire within... Please continue to pray that I may grow whilst out here and that God will make a better man out of me.
If you didnt catch the references already, one Gold star to somebody who can get them all.
Peace.
