So classes are done for the winter... it's wierd. Our speaker this week, Hugo Reimer (yep, another Menno! lol!), was really good. he didn't say anything revolutionary, but he just reiterated old truths, and i think i super needed to hear them. It was really challenging and encouraging!

ok, so guess what? it started snowing in the middle of the night last night (yes, i know this because i packed up my sleeping bag for Canmore and was sleeping between 2 super thin sheet-blankets, like the ones they give you in travel trailers and on airplanes and i woke up FREEZING because our window was opened. and so i found more blankets and went to bed. :)) and the snow hasn't stopped falling since! it's GORGEOUS! just sorta flurries and stuff, but we've got a good 2-3 inches. and we went on a hay wagon ride today, pulled by 2 black Percherons, Dan and Doyle. It was awesome... we through each other off the wagons and dragged the camp cats along with us. super fun!

they have this video projector that we've been using for the past couple nights and the screen is HUGE! like, the wall is, i mean. we project the video up onto the wall and it's (no joke) the same size as a theatre screen! so we prop ourselves against these slanted upside-down pews in our sleeping bags and watch. tonight they are watching Return of the King, but i opted out cuz it won't be done until 2:30 am and we have to be up by 7:30 and i've been tired in the past couple days. but just the whole concept is awesome!

the staff here at Camp Evergreen through us a HUGE Christmas banquet for tonight! it was a delicious three-course meal with candles and decorations and amazingness. we were all dressed up too, so that was cool.

tomorrow morn we're leaving for Canmore, snowboarding on Monday, and hanging out in Banff and/or Canmore tomorrow and Tuesday. Then i fly home! ican't wait to see all you. It's sad to leave these guys though, for sure.

I know I never write about what i've been learning and that i make Outtatown out to be this slacker vacation, but really i HAVE learned tons and the school is worth its weight in gold, i swear. I was looking back through my journal and assignment book tonight and was like, "whoa... i should blog some of this stuff!" cuz it's totally where i'm at. but i'm not gonna do that now... talk to me about it when i get home :) love to you all! pray for snow in the lower mainland!
