in You i find my peace

so its about time for an update. yesterday wasn't too eventful, so i figured i would just add it on to today's blog. yesterday was church. i had the opportunity to play and sing with the praise band, which was awesome! i loved it. we also had communion, which was also great. after church, we went home with the hudsons for lunch (kevin joined us!!) then we went grocery shopping. fun stuff.

we came back to sheridan and crashed..we all slept for quite a while..and were woken by leeann calling to invite us over for dinner. of course we said yes!! so we went to the verbeeks for teriyaki steak dinner and funnel cake dessert. :) yum. then home for some r&r.

so, if you recall, i mentioned a couple that we met the other day in the kitchen who are living here this summer. well..this morning, i saw the father and his 2 daughters at breakfast. we chatted all through breakfast. i really feel like God is creating a bond there..which is really exciting! i invited the 2 daughters, stephanie and jennifer, to go to canada's wonderland with us on friday, so hopefully they will want to join.

our original plan for today was to go back to UTM and pass out freezies. weatherchannel.com said there were suppose to be thunderstorms all day..and i believed it. so we decided to just go to campus and see if there is any way we could plan some kind of worship service for students on campus. we felt quite a bit of opposition, but did get some names and email addresses for the baptist student ministries on campus, so thats pretty exciting. we can back pretty early, and decided to invite our new friends, stephanie, jennifer, allison and peter (the parents) for pizza and a movie night. we slid a note under what we thought was their door, only to find out later that they were actually in a different room. when we didn't hear from them, we headed out for dinner and ran into them on the way. it didn't work out for them tonight, but they seem really excited about doing dinner and movie/games one night! which is awesomeeee!!

after dinner, we came back and decided to go out to the lobby to play phase 10 and hope that maybe some people would like to join us. so..bernie, the head dude, actually did join us!! sooo cool. it was great. about 2 hours of just hanging out and talking..another bond forming there as well.

so we were kinda bummed that we didn't get much done on campus, but super excited about some of the connections God is working out here!! :)

so here's the big prayer requests for now:
-bernie, head guy of sheridan
-the family (peter, allison, stephanie and jennifer)
-that we will somehow get connected on the UTM campus
-the people at the park we chose to have a mini-block party at on thursday!
