Well, Easter was good. I went to my friend Amy's house and we just watched ALOT of TV, went to church (which was sooooo good by the way!), went to the park to take some pictures and for a walk, and then yah, just hung out. It was realxing. But I was glad to get back to school and have familiarity and stuff again. I was so homesick this weekend though, I wanted to go home to Stetts so badly! I miss it alot! 2 more months. :) This week has gone fast though, just back at the school work and now everything is starting to sink in that we have like 3 weeks left of classes and then itis exams! WOW!
I have been receiving more money for Thailand so that is a blessing! Thanks all! :) On April 4th we are getting our immuizations done. The doctor and nurse are coming here to the school so we don' thave to go anywhere, which is so good. I think the only shot i have to get is the typhoid one, so that's good :) But we are having more regular DRIME practices so they are getting better and I think we are bonding as a team more. I get so excited to go. Yesterday I was finally able to go to the girls prayer meeting for the trip (i usually have class during that time so I can't make it) but they prayed over me. And of course I started crying (I always do), but it was so encouraging because it was all these first years who some I know and some I don't, and they were saying ho wmuch of a joy I am and how encouraging I am and when I come into the room I just light it up. And it was just so encouraging to hear becuase lately I have felt that I don' thave many friends and people don't really enjoy hanging around me that much. And it was shocking that people said they loved me that much! :) So I am so excited to bond with those girls over the trip, it is so exciting.
Then last night I went to Jaki's homegroup and we had a prayer one. We all divided up into 3 groups and did like prayer stations so it was cool.l I met some of the girls in my group and I actually had a really good conversation with this one girl (only cuz she was an initiator, I'm not!) She might be going to Grant MacEwan in Edmonton next year for music so it was good. Ok, so here's a little history...Jaki , my Resident Leader, I haven't really talked to ehr much this year becuase she is authority and I am intimidated by her but I love her to pieces, liek she is so wise and such a strong Christian that I always wanted to be her friend!I have been more lately but still not that great. But then last night after homegroup she came into my room and asked if she could talk to me. It was a serious conversation and she was so nervous to talk to me and she said she had been wanting too for weeks. So it went over well and we both cried, and then we talked for like a good 30 minutes about ourselves and each other and she was just encouraging me about the way I look and different qualities she likes about me and such and I did the same just cuz we never really talked before. And then I told her i was scared of her at the beginning fo the year but I still reallyl iked her and wanted to be her friend! and so it was sooooooo good! And then when she left the room she kissed me on the cheek! So now we are good friends and I love her so much and i am so glad that she talked to me! So overall, yesterday was really good, but emotional!
I called the car place today cuz I hadn't heard anything and they said the last of the parts came in last night so they will have it done for Saturday or Monday... Grrrr! SOOOOO FRUSTRATING!
Recital is coming up on April 7th so I am excited about that. I think I am singing a french song called "Mon Essentiel" or else I have been thinking alot about "On His Knees" by The New Tradition. I basically do anything cuz the musicians ehre are amazing and can play anything! Crazy! But yah, i am a little nervous for that just cuz i dont' knwo what I am doing yet. But it will be good.
Anywyas, this al the exciting or not so exciting things that are up with my life! The main thing is I miss Stettler and just want to go home, but i guess that time is coming! Til then I will just persevere!
