Its been a while
(written on 25th Oct)
Hey sorry it has been so long since my last post as you would imagine I have been up to LOTS and on a hole life is going really well, college is good its lots of work but I am loving what I am learning, I have been on a few partnering visits which mean I go to churches that support the college there I have been doing things such as dramas worship leading and communion it has been sweet to have a chance to get to know my class mates more and see the people that support the school.
My olds came over which was sweet I loved having them here and it was awesome to see them again, they come back today which I am really looking forward too.
Right now I am feeling flat I bought a $800 camera which has been lost in post and so that has made me stressed.

So today I had to say good buy to my mum, dad and Nanna again, if anything it was harder than the first time. I loved seeing them it was so rad to hang out with them again.
We had a heaps good time went through the mountains, Dad got to drive is lots of snow. It has been cold here (between -8 in the day and -17 tonight) so they got to taist a little of what I am going to deal with.
I have had lots of school work so had to do that today but still got to spend some good time with dad as he left late arvo for Germany and mum and nanna left this morning for Paris.
Dad and I had a snow fight which was fun. I believe I won but only coz I attacked him after I conceded defeat. We also went and had Spicy Fries and burgers (with eggs) at one of my locals.
Tomorrow I go on Fall ministry experience. Where I am helping out at a homeless shelter in Calgary called the Mustard seed. I will be living on the streets and sleeping in a un heated church hard wood floor. The max temp over while I am there is forecast to be a big fat 0 (that is the MAX) so that should be interesting. But from what previous students have told me it's a real time of group building. (how can it not be no showers or cloth changes for a week)
Other than that I talked to the post office today about my camera they know nothing about it so I am going to send a email to pay pal and try to get my money back. So I hope I can do that coz other wise I am kinda messed up.
God is in control, I know that sounds corny but I am realizing that more and more. I am learning to trust in him coz I can not do things on my own
Miss you all please email and if you read this tell other people that I have updated it
Thanks so much to mum dad and nanna for visiting it was so good to see u I love you so much and miss you already
Love Brendan
I am glad you fessed up about the snow fight, I mentioned it in my blog, but left identities out, to protect the innocent
It was so good to spend time with you. Just hanging out was so much fun and we saw some amazing places and meet some wonderful people while with you. Wish I was there for the snow fight. Our angels in the snow were a little lamer but still fun! It is 24 back here in Adelaide and cool at night. It was really strange when Jo and Sim dropped me home about 8:00 last night because it was only just getting dark and the house was cold. (no central heating!) But I do prefer to sleep in a cool house not a heated one.
love you
mum
