Hey all

So in this past week what have I done? Hmm now that I think about it I have done a few interesting things. On Friday we all as in all us Cobble hill groupies went to youth. For youth we went out to Kurt and Chelsea's place for a backyard fire pit hang out and also a polar bear dip into Lake Shawnagin. It was sooooooo cold!!! We all walked down there in our bathing suites and danced around like little girls on the dock to entice ourselves to jump in. It took a couple minutes of convincing and then we decided to take the plunge. I wanted to try and stay in for a good little while but as soon as I surfaced I basically shot back up onto the dock like a dofin jumping out of the water. Right in and right out!! It was sooo freezing cold I couldnt do anything except want out. After wards we all had to walk back to the house wet and cold and man the cement hurt so much on our numb feet. But overall it was fun and good and will probably do it again =P
Today we went to Church today and heard an amazing sermon on Proverbs 5 about adultury. If you care to listen to it just google the Cobble Hill Baptist Church's web site and you will find it. It was one of those kinds of cermans that nobody would ever think of preaching on just because of all the awkwardness that it would bring about. But it was amazing and so very insightful, straight out of the text.
After that we spent Lunch and Paul and Donna's home and they fed us like kings!! Oh my goodness the best meal I have ever eatin in my entire life! We also over this meal talked about eating habbits and food and weight. I figured out that I have lost 30 lb in muscle weight over the past 3 months due to my diet and my lack of excersize outside of our trips. So I am going to have to buckle down on myself and get active at least once a day as well as give myself a work out routine, if not the weight room here at least something on the floor in my room.
Last tonight we did our final bridge service, a nice Christmas one. It went very well. Afterwards we all just enjoyed eachothers company and said our goodbyes before we left for Christmas holidays. I am looking forward to my holidays, even though they will be very busy I can anticipate =P

God Bless

Hey All

So us guys went off for our second guys night together. This time we went out to Mystic Beach, a small beach along the Jun De Fucia Trail system. It was a nice brisk hike, about 45 min out there to our camp site on the beach. When we arrived it was slightly misty and the tide was all the way up.
We started our day at the beach just watching the waves crash against the sea wall and up on the beach in-front of us. The sound of the base from hitting the wall and also the sound of the rocks as they were being pushed up and down along the beach was just amazing and transing. After setting up our tents and going for a walk along the beach line I went for a nap because the water was to high to explore further and it was starting to rain as well.
Later we had some Perigees and Smokys around the fire and fellowship of farts and grunts being just us guys. After dinner we all shared in our antisipations for the Christmas holidays as well as some fears and wonders with eachother. After everyone shared we would pray for one another and lift our worries to God.
After everyone was done eating and getting edgy from sitting around we decided to go for a gander around the beach at night. The fog had really socked in so you couldn't see very much around you but sand and the person next to you. It was like being under water seeing just a vast nothingness. It was really cool exploring the beach inch by inch. We explored the caves and some of the guys decide to enjoy the waterfall that was coming out onto the beach. Good times that none of us will ever forget.

God Bless
