Greetings fellow inhabitants of the World Wide Web!
So this past week has been quite the busy one, and it is showing no signs of slowing down. As a matter of fact, it's getting busier.
Friday night we had our second Ignite night which was themed “Road Trip” and I gave a talk about how life is like a Road Trip. It’s like driving in a convertible, and and the wind is blowing, and rocks are flying up and hitting you, and the rain is pouring down, and God wants to come and be the top of your convertible, and protect you from these things, and be with you there through those hard times. It was a great night, and thanks very much to the City of Yellowknife for donating street signs to us for our environment.
Saturday night and Sunday masses we spoke, asking for volunteers, and we received a great response, and are very excited to see how much support our parish has to offer us, and we are looking forward to working with all of them. Now we have tons of phone calls to make, to contact all of these amazing people.
Also on Sunday, Mylène and Adele’s host mom took us out to Cameron Falls about a 45 minutes drive away from Yellowknife for a hike. Our team very much enjoys the outdoors, and hiking is a very popular activity in Yellowknife. Although it was very icy, we enjoyed the challenge and it simply added to our sense of adventure. The falls were beautiful, and the view was wonderful, and it showed us yet another spectacular part of the amazing city of Yellowknife. 
We were planning to go to Becheko (also know as Rae) which is about an hour away, to introduce ourselves to the Parish committee. Unfortunately we had a bit of a white out on the road, and we thought it was a little bit unsafe to go, so we cancelled the trip. Fortunately though, instead our team got some much needed hang out time instead. God is very good!
Monday we went into the high school to and had an official “introduction” to the school. Adele explained who we are, and what NET is, and then we did the good ol’ skit “I’m Glad That I’m A Netter,” and got quite a few laughs, and then we just introduced ourselves individually. Afterwards, we spoke to a lot of people, and they all seemed very enthusiastic about our presence, and interested in what we we’re doing.
Also while we were at the high school, we finally received word that we can start our sports nights! Yay! So our first night is Thurday, and we’re hoping to get lots of people out.
Speaking of events coming up... we have a lot of them. We have our first Ignite this Friday which is themed “The Bridge.” On Wednesday we are going to Weledeh school to partake in the Remembrance Day celebration. We are also starting our youth Mass on Saturday nights, so the band will be playing then too. Additionally, there is an overnight retreat happening this Sunday/Monday at the high school, and they have asked us to help out with that. As well as next week, we will have a few day retreats with St. Josephs School.
We are finding ourselves busier and busier as we go. Praise the Lord for providing us with opportunities to share His love. Please keep us and all of our events in your prayers. We appreciate them all very much!
Until next time have a great week!
God Bless,
April Fogle, Yellowknife iNFUSE Team 1
