I slept in blissfully until 7:30, walked over to the base, had class, took a long half-hour break, and did intercession. Our theme/topic was Australia/China. So my group somehow ended up doing mostly art, one guy and a girl were colouring a map of Australia... It was cool, they made almost veins on the island starting on opposite ends, one with a brown colour the other with green, and they ended up coming together in the middle, so that was cool. I was doodling about in a sketchbook I bought when I first got here, but just recently brought to class, I'll take a picture of it and post it later, I'm proud of it and how it came out...
...Anyway, after intercession I went downtown for a stint, cane back in time for supper, then we had a sharing time, of what turned out to be essentially testimonies. After each one all the staff came up and prayed too. I've always felt awkward giving mine, since it's not a radical U-turn, unlike some others.
I did however, feel like I was to say that "I suck on a social standpoint". I was always a bit out of place (being the youngest and smallest in my school classes, being a Christian goalie in a secular sport has been difficult, especially if you know what kind of garbage is being said in the dressing room before/after a game/practice). Even at Kingswood the first year I was apparently know as "the weird tall kid who plays sports" or something along those lines, since I was for the most part socially challenged.
Anyways, I also did a bunch of encouragement letters for people, but with kind of an artistic theme for each, I'll post some pictures of them at the end of this blog.
So it was a loooooong day, but a good one.

Pretty sweet work. Your grandmother has finally found your site and said you have the same gift with words as your father and grandfather before you. Great drawings, too.
