Learning Experiences...

This past week has been one of those week where at some point I'll be able to look back and laugh. Seemed liked everything was just a bit off last week. Wednesday night our worship leader was gone from jr. high so I was to lead. Granted I don't play guitar that well, but the guitar was so out of tune that it was pointless, so we tried to sing acapela. That worked well for about half a song. The jr. highers were crazy, didnj't listen well, just overall a tough night. Saturday we did a day called Christmas in Seattle. We went ice skating and walked around the center, and saw narnia at cinerama (3rd time I've seen it in 2 days). Fun day, all the students loved it, but a few highlights.

• Lost my debit card somewhere in the center
• One of my leader's got a parking ticket
• We got lost from Cinerama to Dick's burgers.
• Had one student puke several times
• Were 30 min. late getting home (did call parents)

Just a fun eventful jr. high day.

High school this week has also been eventful. We had 19 students come to Narnia Friday night. It was fun to hang out with everyone and see a nice crowd excited about it. Sunday night was fairly good. Had a bigger number of students we've had in a couple weeks and it was a tough week. Everything went well, just had to lay down the law a little more than I'd like too. It was cool to see the worship team come together. Had lots of new faces up there this week, and they did a good job.

This week is pretty light in terms of events. We have normal jr. high then our high school christmas party on sunday. Nice to not have a lot of prep work, because it lets me look at some calendar stuff and do some more down the road things.

Continue to pray for our church in the process of finding an interim pastor. Pray for opportunities to continue to build relationships with students over break when there's no formal events.

This week I'll be up on Friday for the wedding, so hope to see many of you there. I'll also be up in the area Wed. night and thinking applebees if anyone's up for it.
