Im in Calgary
Well
i am in Calgas, i flew in last night and it was hard to leave the camp. I have made so many rad friends and to have to leave them all sucked. I am staying with a friend that i met at camp which is rad and he has a basement
which he is looking to rent out so that sould be sweet i might be living there its a 2 bedroom which works out rad coz that is what i was looking for and its also heaps nice.
I met a few ppl from the collage and they are all friendly which is cool, i have not met any other studence from my course yet so hope that goes well. I was thinking of putting on an over the top acent for O day so i might do that see how i feel.
Thats about all for now i will try to write more and get some pics up soon
Love you all
Brendan

Hello everyone it has been a while
Hi all
Well yes in case you where all wondering i am still alive even tho it has been a very long time since i have done one of there entries. I have been up to sooo many things since then.
I will share a few of them with you. One night some friends from camp and i went down to victoria (thats where 2 of the pictures are from. We went and had sushi and it was awesome we had a boat thing with all different sorts on there is was rad.
then there was a night market down by the water and that was sweet Jason (one of the guys) and I hung out and we walked around the streets it was rad there was a sweet prication band that was playing in on of the streets and we got hit on by 2 sweet babes it was pritty cool. We then went to the parlimnet building and met up with the other people in our group. It was sweet Jason kicked one of the guys in the man regions and the sucurity gaurd who we had been talking to earlier came down and gave some tips on how to get rid of the pain it was very funny.
After that we spent the night at another girl from camps house. It was rad to chill with friends and get away from camp.
Another thing that i did was at the Family camp. Family camp is where famillies come as a group and camp. I was a lead part in a little skit we did infront of the entire camp every day. The skit was heaps corny but very fun because of the people i was doing it with. The entire camp was sweet coz i got to work with kids between 9-11 years old as a big brother rather than a perantal figur so it was alot more fun. I also got excepted by a couple of the families and eat most meals with them, after teaching there daughter to ski that was very cool.
After that week the entire staff team went to a wave pool (which are heap popular here compared to Australia) and there was much rukus it was grand. We got in to trouble for over crouding the wherlle pool it was funny. But more good time chilling with the people here.
Last week was a very hard for me. I had a group of boy that would not listen to me and would argue with each other and just ingnore me. This was hard very hard. I had one camper incaticular that has had such a rough life that i cant imagin it. and would not want to wish it apon anyone. Other boys where rude and often did not listen to what i said. this was very hard. One story that i like to tell is we where lining up for a meal, i turned around and saw one of the boys throw his own hat into the black berries when i asked him why he did this he said i wasnt ment to see him do it and he was going to blame one of the other campers.
Although the week was hard and i was Counciling by myself, the suport of the other stuff was amazing. one meal i was having a problem and another staff member just came and got seconds for my table. i looked around and couldnt see where her cabin was sitting i dont know how she knew that i needed help but she did. All the stuff where suporting me and it was fantactic.
It was also hard for me to let them. I like to do things my own and not ask for help or prayers, but God took that way from me last week and showed me that i am week and that i need his help as well as my friends help and prays. It was a hard week im glad i went through it but im also very Glad that i am not in the middle of it now.
At the moment im on my 3 days off which is amazing. I am on the lower mainland of vancouver staying with a friend i met at camp. His family has been so friendly and i have been so blessed while i have been here. There have also made me some amazing food.
Saturday night we hung out with some of Travis' friends and it was sweet to meet new people other than at camp. We just chilled out played some pool (of which they have crazy rules in canada) and just kicked back. On sunday Travis and i went to church then downtown. It was sweet we went to the Aquarium and standly park. I would put some pictures of that on here too but i left my cable at camp. Yesterday i got to see one of my friends from camp and went to white rock which is a beach, went for a walk and chilled out. I also got a pair of $120 sunglasses for $41 including tax coz there where 50% off and travis knew the chic in the shop so i got even more off it was rad.
Well thats a long blog but i have been meaning to do one for ages just not had the time.
What i am facing at the moment is where i am going to live in calgary i have a few options opening up but it all seems a bit like it might not happen prayer for that would be rad. Also for the last few camps that God can keep moving.
I miss you guys and pray that you are doing well.
Catch you all later
Love always Brendan
