Chapter 103: In The Zone

Hey Everyone;

I know I haven't been blogging a whole lot- it's been three weeks (actually more than that now) and I have blogger what, two, three times. Shame on me. I'm normally busy, in some sort of way. I have yet to really grow attached to the 'city life' but in most ways I have I guess. I like the fact that there is 'so much more too do' but with little ' mula'... it's hard to do a whole lot. :) I'm loving the school here, but the weather is too cold (and it's only September... I'll die in December). I like the apartment and the area, but the fact that people don't smile, or say hello on the street bothers me. Sometimes I say 'good morning' but I just get a glance back or a very muffled 'hello'. That is the BIGGEST part of me missing home- well that and my family. haha!

Anyways, that's just some of the things that have been playing on my mind since 'the big move'.

School is awesome! I love it. I'm on a YMIT team (basically it's a 'outreach' team). We are going all over Edmonton and doing ministry work - I'm super excited about that. But all I ask, just say a little prayer over it. :) It'll be sweet.. and I'm sure I'll be talking about different things we do later on, once we get started. :)

Oh, just wanted to congratulate Jenn and Nelson on their baby girl. Jenn had her today and I do believe her name is Taylor Roxanne Sharon Shiner. I predicted it would be a boy but it's not... ha! It'll be 'little Jennie Jr.' now, instead of 'Nelsie Jr.'- :) Once again, congrats!

What's the news back home anyways? I keep up with VOCM and The Nor Wester - thank God for online news eh? But yeah, so if you're from back home.... leave a message and tell me a lil' 'clip' about it.. pictures? stories... poems? anything! haha!

But yeah, I'm gone!

Peace
Prayers

Joshua
