I Love Blitz...
So I am I sitting in the computer lab at the school and I am thinking about the weekend I just had. It was such a good weekend. I went out with my Blitz Team on Friday morning at about 9 am to Melville and Yorkton. Well wait lets go back a few days and start from the beginning.

We start this semesters Team on good and bad notes. Megan and Tim are gone, and Charlotte has decided to become a trader and moved to the music Blitz team... What a lady, just leaves us in our time of desperation. Anyway the good note was that Ty was joining, and I becoming a new friend of Ty's was rather excited. So yeah things are going ok. There was only four people at our first practice so I was getting a little worried, but I knew that it was going to be ok. Then I find out that Amanda Hacking (our leader) was not going to be coming back for this semester either so then the panic was on... well not really a panic but there was concerns. So fast forward a little bit to Wednesday's practice and we find out that our team is in charge of running a mini youth retreat!!!!! SAY WHAT!!!!!! We have two days to organize a whole weekend, we had to do everything from speaking to games it was nutz!!! Some of us didn't know the skits we had to do, we didn't know what we were speaking on, we had no games really planned, it was a little scary.

So back to Friday (which was Ty's birthday), Rus, Marilee and myself go just after 8 am to get the van we had rented, and Rus goes I don't really know where the place is where we have to get the van. "I was told it was some where on 8th street by the Co-op and the Super Store" He says. So we drive down 8th and we are looking and we can't find it. So I say "why don't we stop in at the Co-op gas station and asks someone", and low and behold there attached to the Co-op was the Budget place we were looking for! We had a good laugh about that!

Ok, we get the van and go back to the school to get everyone loaded up, and we were on the road by 9 am. It takes about 4 hours to get to Melville, so we had some time to laugh and sleep and just hangout. I love our team we all get along so well and we are almost always laughing about something. Oh Yeah Melissa and Piper (who we have decided looks like Mickey Mouse) came along with us to do music with Kristine. I figure they are just part of the team now.

Anyway we got to Melville and things went so well! It all came together in such an awesome way I was amazed. Phil spoke the first night and he was so good. The kids loved it. Then came the time when we were going to go to bed, well I have to say that I only got an hour of sleep that night, but it was ok I had fun. Then we hung out with the kids and I spoke and Rus spoke and it was awesome. I think Rus was a little discouraged because one kid told him his message was "a little lengthy", I was funny because of who the kid is, but I think Rus took it hard. I have to say I thought Rus did great.

Yeah then we went to Yorkton and It was good too, that is a whole different story but this blog is getting really long and I am sure you all stopped reading a while ago, but what I really wanted to say is I love you all Blitz team you made my weekend awesome. Thanks to everyone in Melville and Yorkton they are great people, I think that God is really moving in both those towns.

I am going to go home and take a nap!!!
