halloooooooo. the long weekend definitely felt LONG.. but not in a bad way! JMC was sooooo great! definitely glad i decided to go. being united with soo many fellow alliance churches and C&MA missionaries was really a cool experience. our speaker was such a great man.. soo passionate and sincere about what he does. he was a missionary in Africa and had sooo many awesome stories to tell us. hearing from the other missionaries was great too. it was really cool that we got to see and meet some of the very missionaries that appear on our sunday morning bulletin's prayer list. what did i take away from this convention? a renewed passion for missions and a deeper desire to be obedient to His calling :)

i dunno why the convention felt so long.. it was about 4 days. i guess it was longer than any other conference/retreat i'd been too. when i came home i felt like i'd been gone for weeks.. haha. but funny highlights of the weekend:

- walking in on my bathroom partner who i didn't even end up meeting because i was too embarrassed!! (our rez had 2 rooms conjoined by a bathroom)
- stepping on dog poo in the dark on the way to timmy's on the last night :S i was hoping it was just mud.. but i made the mistake of actually smelling it! eeewwwww.

fun times.. NOW gotta tackle the rest of this summer. still got a bunch to look fwd to! but i know it's gonna go by in a flash. and school will be BACK with a vengeance! but i'm looking fwd to it.. my course registration was TODAY. had some problems.. but i hope i can figure it out soon. why did i think it was gonna be so easy? oh well i'm not too worried.

should i accept the fact that it just might not be in God's will for me to get a job this summer?? siigh.. i dunno. i'm content with volunteering because i'm really enjoying it there. but having a job would definitely ease some financial stress that will be a reality come september.. or even NOW and in the FUTURE haha. but i'm still enjoying the freedom.. my days seem to get filled up even tho i don't really have much to do! i think i've only endured one week of boredom so far this summer. hmmm.. what to do what to do.
