we are one, but we are many....

Again I apoligize for the tardiness of my posts, would you believe that our computer's been down for several days. Anyways, on April 25th, it was Anzac Day, which is very similar to our Memorial Day. Amy and I, along with her two exchange students from Taiwan(Eric) and Japan(Tommy)went to King's Park for the Dawn service. It was amazing; I think I heard on the radio that about 70,000 people came out for the service. Or maybe it was 7,000; regardless, there were people everywhere, ready to watch the sunrise come up over the city. It was gorgeous, a great experience. Since it was a public holiday, we all went home and slept for a few hours then got up and made a huge brunch- pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast...you name it, we made it.

This past week has been very productive, I'm trying to get the last little bits of pieces together for the Quiz Night next week. People keep assuring me that they will be there, but all I can do is hope for the best. Tuesday, we celebrated Amy's birthday by having a nice picnic in King's Park. The sky was so blue against the green grass in the park, it was a great spot. We even had champaign to go along with the "mood". Friday I went to St. Stephen's high school and ate lunch with the students, as I always do. Friday night, we had youth group and we went ice skating. It was a blast! I was really encouraged because a lot of the youth brought along their friends from school and we had a nice turn out. There weren't any major wipeouts on the ice, which was good, but lots and lots of awkward skating. Yesterday, I met Cath in the afternoon for a long walk/run, it was a beautiful day, we just had to be outside. And last night, me and Kim met my friend Jenny at her church to hang out with their youth group. I was under the impression that it was going to be really informal, just a time to share ideas about youth. But to my surprize, I was their guest speaker and about 35 kids were there. Talk about pulling it together at the last minute! But it was great and the youth were wonderful, I wished that I could get that many to come along to our youth events. It's almost time for church, so I will sign off now. Salutations.
