East Coast say what!

Hey everyone!

Meghan Hall here again with another wonderful update about team 2! This week we left the wonderful province of Ontario and entered the lovely and ... bare... province of New Brunswick. And what would a long travel day (approx 13 hours) be without going 2 hours in the wrong direction? Well, I suppose it wasn't the wrong direction, but it was 2 hours out of the way. We ended up driving for 16 hours in the van! It was a great trip though, we got to see a little bit of Quebec which is a beautiful province! Good thing we weren't going to host homes though, we all got to sleep in the church basement in Rothesay! It was a lot of fun.

Our team day in Rothesay was wonderful! The girls on the team walked all around the town, we played on the train tracks and went to the park. It was so much fun! The guys went on an adventure of their own, although I don't know where they went, I do know when we walked back to the church the boys were throwing snowballs at us. Good thing us girls are tough!

I would, at this time, like to mention that I love the east coast. Because there aren't any catholic schools in the east coast we have night retreats which means we all get to sleep in! Speaking of retreats, our retreats in New Brunswick went great! One I'd like to tell you about is our youth group retreat in Woodstock. We had something like 12 youth show up, and it was one heck of a retreat! We got to meet a few special people, including Evan Leblanc's (from team 3) mom and sister! Although none of us stayed at their house we enjoyed meeting them a lot!

Wednesday also marked the day of our third supervisor visit! Yay Pat and Meaghan! We picked them up from the airport and they stayed with us until Sunday. It was a great visit. Especially because Claire, Brenden and I all got birthday packages! Yay birthdays! Pat and Meaghan planned our team day on Friday which was fun. They gave us a talk on decision making and we talked about team business stuff. I know, it sounds boring, but with both Pat and Meaghan around it was anything but boring! They even told us our team gets to travel to P.E.I. Riane almost cried she was so excited. On Saturday night the whole team went to a very epic hockey game; Timberwolves vs. Summerside! It was a great game, and the Timberwolves won 4-3. We all had a lot of fun just hanging out with our team. It had been ages since some of us had been to a game.

On Sunday we had a short and sweet good bye with our supervisors. We dropped Pat off at the airport on our way to Halifax and Meaghan came with us to Halifax to stay with some friends. For those of you who don't know, I'm from Halifax so needless to say I'm very excited to be home! I'm sure our week in Halifax will be exciting and epic and full of awesomeness. Until next week, this is Meghan Hall signing off.

Team 2's quote of the week: "Wooo! Yeah! Gold medal!" - Thanks to Meaghan Boyd for this one.

God bless!
