Overview!!

Well, I think this may actually be the longest that I have gone without writing a blog. . . my bad.

I feel like so much has happened in these last four weeks that I have been on tour. I have many new stories and things that I will remember for a long time to come.

A few of them summed up:

Week 2 of tour #2,

ONTARIO

One girl I talked to IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Last year (grade 8) all her friends started falling apart and started hating each other and themselves. One of her friends who is 13, decided she wanted to become prego because she was teased that she could never get a boyfriend. When she heard about this, she started pouring into her friend’s life. She told her that God loves her and various reasons why she shouldn’t. A month later, after continuous convincing, her friend finally gave in and said that she was right and that she wouldn’t become prego. Throughout her life, this girl that I talked to, has gone through a lot concerning self-confidence. When she was in grade 4, she used to stare at the mirror and call herself terrible names and literally pull out pieces of hair. When she was in grade 6, she had some really bad stuff happen to her from a guy. She has been carrying so many burdens on her shoulders and tonight she finally started letting go. She continues to be a great encourager and when her friends go through anything, her heart aches for them because she knows what it is like.

This event was held at a catholic church. I really enjoyed all the girls there and really respected them. They seemed to have hungry hearts for God and really wanted to learn.

Week 3 of tour #2,

MANITOBA

In the city, we did two events in one day. One jr. at 12:00 and a sr. at 5:00.

At the jr. event, I got a chance to talk to a girl from the inner city. She told me a little bit about her life and that she had six siblings, her parents didn’t live together, her brother and girlfriend are expecting triplets, and some of her family she just doesn’t see anymore.

Week 3 of tour #2,

NORTH DAKOTA

This is quite humorous, but a highlight for me is that we blew a breaker and we lost power during the skit. Jenn did really well however and kept going once I found the main lights. We tried to fix the problem but the coordinator couldn’t get in to the breakers so we managed to run off one light and one speaker and just my computer. The artist, Cecilia, went acoustic and we get to clean up in spare moments so clean up after went realllly fast. Like fifteen minutes! It was AWESOME! haha

I also talked to a few girls and they asked some super funny questions… Like: does it ever get warm in Canada? And do you guys even have facebook there?? --silly states people! :P

Week 4 of tour #2,

NORTH DAKOTA

@ A BIBLE CAMP

This was a crazy event. The girls were really cute and had a blast but man… they know how to talk at night and stuff. Unfortunately we had to stay in the same cabins as them… We did not sleep very much. --Kate

There is a very brief overview of my last few weeks,

Currently I am in SK, and we are heading to Saskatoon tomorrow... which is quite exciting!

Also, I could use all the prayer I can get as I need to start figuring out my future!!
