Well I’m a slacker, Get used to it! So what’s new? I met a pretty cool girl. She’s a friend of a friend which is sometimes weird but for the most part no big deal. The thing is she lives in Grande Prairie, a fine town no doubt, but kinda a jaunt to drive. One of these people who gives a lot of information about themselves that some people may see as too much but it sure cracks me up. So that’s a bit of an adventure.
I also got three new hermit crabs from my sister for my birthday. Those guys are loads of fun! It always concerns me though being in charge of living creatures. I know as a youth leader I should really be used to that, and crabs should really be no big deal. But I really do not hold the balance of life or death for most of my kids which considering the circumstances is probably a good thing.
My job is still great! We have a ton of events coming up the most pressing is a Battle of the bands we are holding this Friday. We are hoping for three hundred kids but ticket sales are not going overly fantastic so we are praying for a ton of kids to buy tickets at the door Friday night. We have faith but it is still a little stressful. Not to mention we are still short on volunteers so if anyone is going to be around Ponoka Friday night and wants to lend a hand give us a shout hey.
We are also planning dry grad for the comp here as well. It’s somewhat unfortunate that if falls to the youth workers to do this but such is life I suppose. I take great pride in the fact I think we are probably the only church in Ponoka that really has no problem with alcohol for the most part (there may be one or two others I’m not entirely sure). Yet safe grad seems quite ridicules. I mean in GP it was bad enough that they shipped us off to some field to get plastered its amazing that no one drinks themselves to death. But in Ponoka they actually provide the alcohol then put no limit on it, it’s absolutely crazy! But anyway Dry Grad looks fantastic, going with a Casino theme this year. There will be games and activities coming out the wazzoo it should be fantastic.
Anyway that’s it for now I know it is not much of an update but I am tired I will write more latter.
Peace kids!

my sister called last night and said she's helping out with your battle of the bands thing... and she was super pumped to be able to see Stereotrap again. she loves them. and i told her to give you a kick in the pants from me, but only because i'm not sure she'd be comfortable giving you a bear hug... i guess i can give you one of those myself in a few weeks, eh?
yeah I saw her. thanks for that by the way!
