HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADIANS

Oh to be home having a super thanksgiving dinner in bruce mines and playing with my dads new tractor.....guess i'll just have to hear about all the goodness through the phone calls. It was really great to talk to my parents lastnight....even got to say hi to my auntie mary-ann. I can't wait to see some pictures of the fall colours, even if they are not quite as brillant as last years. All the Canadians down here are going to celebrate next saturday, complete with an igloo building competition...lol i'll have to post some pictures from that as i have no idea what that will entail.

Well neways, on another note, its offical I am on another Honduran sports team, and yet again my coaches name is Hugo. 8) Yeah for Hugo's.. hehe...neways I have now played in 2 games, the first one we won and the 2nd we lost, however the 2nd was a much stronger team. I am really excited to be getting to play more volleyball...if Mr. Marchut could only see me know lol! It is WAY more fun to play than coach or ref...but I am getting good practice at coaching too and it does have its super moments as well, especially when they see that you do actually know what you are talking about sometimes lol!
Well melodee, amy, and joseph have been faithful cheerers for both kyle and I and we greatly appreciate their support, even if it is a little crazy at times...you can see, and hear some of their antics on melodees myspace as she has added some of their comentatry videos to her site. Hopefully you can see them but right now i'm having trouble making them work so be patient and I'll let you know when they are working.

So here is a picture of me and my adoring fans lol...complete with ALP pom poms.
As for life down here...it has been very crazy busy. I can't believe that we only have 3 weeks of classes left of the 1st quarter!! Unbelieveable how fast the year goes down here. God certainly is challenging me again this year with patience and looking to Him for my strength, not just to those around me (because I am blessed with so many supportive people down here!). I am trying my best too, to encourage my students to not be afraid to be bold for Christ. Not to let the "its not cool" stigma hinder them from praising God in all they do. It is sometimes easier said than done, even for us as adults!
Alrighty well it is time for bed once again so I'm signing off.
~gnite and hope you all have a wonderful new week full of Gods many blessings!!
