Lost in the Woods

I've been "home" at Capernwray for two-ish days now. I just got back from shovelling snow at an old couple's house in Rawdon. That's what the community help team did today. We shovelled snow for about an hour, then went inside to have a snack and play some Skip-Bo with the couple. That was super fun.

I flew completely by myself for the first time. First time going through security by myself, finding the gate by myself, and getting my own luggage in Montreal by myself. I even used one of those luggage carts for the first time (I love those things, they are awesome!). I know that it doesn't seem like much, but I think it's a pretty big accomplishment for me.

We have 9 new students this term. A couple girls from Germany, a guy from BC, a couple of girls from Alberta, another girl from Quebec, a girl from Brazil, and even one girl from Winnipeg. They're all pretty awesome. I haven't completely got a chance to get to know all of them yet, but I'm sure that I will get the chance.

Yesterday, basically all of us went on a walk up to High Point. Then a few of the guys had the idea that we should go down the cliff into the forest and a bunch of snow. Instead of just doing back up the cliff/hill and following the trail back to the school, we decided to just find another way back. We ended up getting lost. Luckily, there was someone with an iPhone, so we GPSed our way back. So we ended up practically hiking for an hour, all together as a group!

Well, just wanted to let you know what was going on with me in Quebec. Classes have been good so far. We are currently in the book of Romans, which Steve is teaching us. I'll probably post again at the end of the week talking about some stuff I've learned because Romans is quite a loaded book.

Ahhh... it's good to be back at Capernwray :)

Love,
