BANG LA DESH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yeah thats whats up!)

       Aloha! Hey everyone! i have an exciting update! i am going to bangladesh!! yea yea! i'm pumped! before i tell you the deets, i let you know how these last ferw days have been:) i have had a crazy weekend! so filled with lots and lots of activities!
       On Saturday, I was so active! i got up early, ate breakfast and then got a hitch into paia to surf! it was a pretty windy day but we didnt know what the waves would be like! so me and my friend Hannah from australia to share between us for 20 bucks with all the straps and wax that we needed:)we headed out with the boys to Paia bay which was beautiful! Unfortunetly after an hour of trying to get some waves, we couldnt catch any becasue the waves didnt break good and it was a little bit tooo windy. The guy that rented the boards to us told us that we could bring them back if we couldnt get any waves:) and he was a christian, from cali, named justin... anyways hahah besides that point we returned them and we have a credit that justin gave us for the next time we go out. we hitched back to paia then got ready for the weekely socccer game at 4! it was so fun! i think there was like 40 of us that played! i still got my kick! i played defense against some sbfm guys from sweden and all over and it was cool! i dont think i''ll play barefoot again though.. i broke a nail! just kidding i'm not THAT much of a wuss. and then after we got home, btdubb, our team killed, we had a game of vball! a tounramant actually:0 our weekends are pretty cool we have all saturday off every week and then other than church on sundays we have time to chill on sunday too! but lots of that time soon will be full of work projects and Jesus time and homework!
        Sunday I went to my church that I was assigned to for the first time and it was so cool! i got put in the children's church which was a separate building then the church:0 there was like 15 kids all under eight, and i really bonded with this kid named Owen:0 he was so cute, and i hope we can stay buddies. he is four  :) we played games, had snacked, sang songs with actions of course and had a lesson he is so cute, he put up his hand to pray and then when it was his turn he turned to me all embarrased and said "i dont know how to pray!" and i was like say thanks God for my family. and he did in the most quiet voice ever but it was super cute:)
      After we said our goodbyes to the kids, we wenty to Costco, and let me tell you friends in saskatoon, our samples dont even compare. there samples are like servings and there was actually a different one everywhere. I was so full off those but i still split one of those 2$ pizza slices  because they looked so good:)
     The rest of the day we hung out at the base finished our journals that we had to do, and spent some time with God.
Yesterday we had our first  session and this week it is on the basics of christianity:) it was awesome because i feel feel like i am getting so much knowledge to back up my faith and to prove that christianity is real. Matt is a sweet teacher. i love  learning and i think i have a real passion for learning new things. Random, but i am learning Norweigan just cause haha it's been really fun so far i got the alphabet down as well as some sentences and and numbers:) yea yea it's fun but i love learning new things about God and the bible!
        So last night we found out where we were going! the way they told us was really cool , and it shouldnt have surpirsed me how much surpirsies and creativitiy they put into it! they told us to sit aorung the pool. Then they tapped our heads if we were on the team that was being told. we all had to close our eyes and keep them shut. when we were tapped we put our feet in the water carefully while keeping our eyes closed. then, after everyone from one team was picked they said the people whose feet are in the water can open their eyes. We didnt know where we were going yet, just who we were with.
I was the last group that they did this too, and i had to covver my eyes because i was so excited! i looked around and saw a few people but becasue it was dark out, i couldnt tell everyone.
    Right after they told us to sit in the groups that we were called in and then the leaders sat with us and annouced we were going to bangladesh! there are 9 of us students and two leaders and it looks like it is going to be a great group! it was hard to realize that i wouldnt be with all of these people that i had made such great friends with and only these 11 for three months. but i still have lots of time here to build great other friendships also really get to know my team! i am so excited and please pray for our team to stay positive and that team unity would be awesome and for God to use us in amazing ways here and there! anyways other people have to use this computer so i will tell you more about this country antoher time! love ya'll! thanks for your prayers and God bless you!
