WOW WOW WOW
How are you all doing?? I am Great i have been up to so much in my time here.
Firstly my friends... I have some heaps tight friends here which is fantactic God has blessed me so much. Its funny that they Pay out Rock Fist Also LOL haha we sing it regularly lol
God is Being amazing at the moment My Pray life has been puped up and God has been Drawing himself close to me its amazing.
The other day all the staff went to a church and sung a song. After that we went to a beach where it was Hot (only like 30 but everyone is complaining) and there was snow on the moutians that i could see it was amazing.
We also have to do water searches (only practice at the moment) but i am in one of the most adance groups so it means swimming under water for ages very cold but still good to be in a high group.
Also i met someone who knows one of my friends in Australia Spaz (aka Carol Watson) so that is fair crazy.
So God has been amazing BIG BIG things are going to happen this summer and Its exciting to see. Please keep praying for all the team here and other ppl doing similar Jobs.

Love you All

Hello from Canada
Firstly JET LAG it always sounds so scary but i have had little to none. After my 37.5 hours with only 1 of thoes for sleep i sept for 10 hours then had a full day then got 10 hours sleep at night and been getting between 8 - 10 hours a night and feeling fine. I could not get to sleep last night coz i was tired but not sleepy but still felt fine today Praise Jesus.
Second thing that im finding crazy is the light last night we had a big game of touch going till about 10 at night, (i stopped at about 9.40 after rolling my ancle at 9.30 i thought i could just keep using it and it would get better but it didnt hurt today as well then i rolled my other one unicycling but not heaps bad everyone was like Australians for you just keep playing i was like heck yes) so yes late night still light.
A ammusing story when i was in LAX went to the lu and was like no that ones blocked walked to the next one and it was blocked too so was the third by the forth i remembered that they have full bowls of water LOL.
Another funny story standing in customs in LAX talking to this person asked to borrow their Pen and the where from Australia and SA and her children had all gorn to Wirraway even in The US people that know aboout wirraway cool ay.
Went for a walk yesterday too with some guys from the camp. Its good for the first few days i felt like i was meeting ppl but had no friends now i feel i have friends which is a good thing and im feeling much more happy about everything.
The Oillers lost the hockey game tonight (game 7 stanly cup) so thats sad from now on they are the NHL team that i go for.
Canadians are cool they all reccon Australia is cooler than canada but im not to sure? We where playing vollyball and i someone stuffed up the serve and i was like nar yes have a Green shorts rule to say you get a second serve and someone thought i was serious LOL
Apart from that im teaching ppl to unicycle and also whip crack its good the other Australia had fire twerler and everyone reccons we should start a circus im keen.
Well thats about it i spent all days cleaning a bunk house all pen marks for which sucked but was with a few ppl who i have made good friends with so that was good and it was good to do some work.
Tomorrow we have half a day of work and then so adventure road trip thats all a secret what we are doing so that should be fun.
O Yher the food here is good fair fatty so i have been eating heaps of salad (but they are heaps nice salads) and no savory stuff for breaky with is weird.
I also still have my accent heaps well which im happy about coz im dame prowd to be a Aussi
But i cant use the word dame over here coz its heaps bad thats one thing i have been stuffing up with but owell
well thats about it i will put some pics up when i get them other thank that love you all and look forward to seeing the ppl that are going to visit me soon and miss everyone

Im in Canada
Well i am now in the magical land of canada.. Today has been good i met people (be doing a lot of that i guess) but we went for a walk for a few hours had some lunch and then just watched a movie a chilled out day but a good one. Talking about Good stuff already which is nice. Its hard to remeber everyones names and i feeling a bit apriensive (im sure this was spelt wrong). Im kinda feeling like i want to come home but im fair sure i will get over it.
The tripyest thing so far is the roads, i think that im just about use to it then someone will come driving around the corner or something and i will freak out
Well thats about it from day one in Canada is all a bit weird im here but still i dont know doesnt feel that crazy
Love you all
(well most of u lol)

From LAX
I am currently sitting in a Starbucks at LAX (enjoying a free Salad and coffee that Qantas gave me for stuffing up) i will not be able to post it from here as there is no Internet access. I had a very strong signal on my wireless but i could not connect to the Internet so i disabled it in fear that someone would hack me.
I have now been awake for 34 hours with only 1 for sleep on the plane. My flight was delayed in Auckland and thus i miss my flight in LAX to Vancouver. For a while it looked as though i was going to spend the night in Vancouver and fly over in the morning but after talking to a chic from the camp we decided that Ferry was a ferry good idea. So i should arrive on Vancouver island at 12.15 tonight, that will make my 16th of June 2006 a total of 44 hours long with 26 hour on a plane in a airport or some other form of transport. I am feeling really weird at the moment awake but like i'm going to fall into a sleep deprived coma at any moment. I cant believe that 24 hours ago i was in NZ. I think through this problem i will be out of pocket about $200 but that's life ay, I might be able to get some back but i don't think so.
I have made so many errors on this blog but i think i have fixed most of them up. (even more than all my others mum i don't think you would even believe how many i made)
When i post this i will be in Canada and possibly add more
Looking forward to this next set in “Bob takes on Canada” WOW i get creative when i have had no sleep how did I not ace uni. LOL
Catch ya all latter

I have had a rad weekend, i went to rotarua with ben which was rad spent the entire day driving up with a few stop overs
went on this rad walk through a gorge, (first 2 pics) it was heaps good because you could climb over anything or down to the water and there where no problems with that. It almost seems as if NZ in 20 years behind Australia in regards to safe but it sure makes it fun.
We stayed with bens Cuz which was rad., The next day we went into the township of rotarua and had a look around checked out the mud pool which made me feel ill. We where going to go lueing (i don’t know how to spell it) but the only open track was the beginner ones so we went to this place called Off road NZ which was sweet. We did a race track thing that they have there and you do it in these little beach buggy type things it was rad. (third pic)
That’s about all i have been doing the power went off in Ackland for like 10 hours yesterday so i read half a book (if you know me well you will know how crazy that is) and today went shopping with Nadine and had Sushi for lunch. They have so much sushi here there are more fast food sushi places than Macers.
O and also i fly out on Friday so that’s a bit scary but should be fun. Next blog might be from Canada yay well have a good one all and ill catch ya later

Shallow things
There are not as many hot chics
People dont ware as much Band Merch
Not as many Peicings.
Hey all

I cruzed in there with some yanks that i met which was cool and i wish i had of started hanging out with them ealier.
