Hey there, I thought I would just update this quickly, since I have promised weekly updates. Things here at TREK are settling down into a comfy, albeit at times tiring routine. It seems like we all have found our places and for me personally, especially since finding out our teams. Our topic for this week was "the church" and of course it included the token conflict resolution talk. And included in that was the token personality test, except that this one was different. I have some information for all of you that you would have never guessed about me, I hope you are ready:
I AM BLUE
Hehe, what that means really, is that I, amongst other things, really like when things happen on time, I always check my watch, I like things to be organized, I am no to outgoing nor very directive. Or so it says. Truth be told, I could find myself in some other colours as well. Regardless, I found it very interesting that our team was mostly blue and yellow, and I wont go into further detail, because quite frankly I don't want to bore you or myself.
Needless to say, I loved this week, simply because of the topic itself. I think I might have a new rant forming, but maybe not. Nonetheless, it was tiring which I do not understand. I have had 8 hours + of sleep every night, more then I have had in the last 4 years of my life, and in those 4 years I was attending school full-time, work part-time, and participate in youth and leadership at church. Here I go to classes for sure, but it does not compare to University, and yet I am as tired as I have ever been and I cannot get rid of headaches. When we got here they told us that the lack of rest can become a spiritual thing. Sometimes it makes me wonder why we all are so tired. Anyways...
On Wednesday we went canoeing at Widgeon Creek which was absolutely beautiful. Canoeing in the mountains just does not compare with the Whiteshell. It was a really a good day and it's nice to get outside once in a while. It is so interesting to see how everybody finds their places, literally. Each morning for devotions and scripture memorization we all spread out over the Mark Centre. Each morning when the weather is nice you see people in their spot. There is just something about humans that we look for comfort in something regular, in routine. Anyways, I am very glad to have my spot.
Well, thats all for today, I gotta tell all of you, TREK has been good, and I absolutely, honestly love my team.
We wrote our team covenant this week, and as a guideline we used this verse, and with that I leave you.
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! Psalm 133:1

Try drinking lots of water. the way a co-worker put it: our brains are floating in water (its surrounded by it at any rate) and more often times when we get headaches we tend to reach for the pills for a quick fix. So if it's not getting the water it needs, it's getting thirsty.
Ruth's cheesy line for the day [which i actually mean]: make sure you stay hydrated in all aspects, physically and spiritually.
Your blue dabe dee dabadai dabedee dabadai dabe dee dabadai.
