First, let me tell you about how amazing our Glass Alabaster nights have gone thus far. We have 2 nights, with 6 girls coming to it. Oh my goodness, the girls just amaze me! They are all so great, and we have an equal balance of having fun with them, but also going deep with them. Our first night was on 'Daughter of God, Bride of Christ.' Wow! The first night kind of hit them hard. We had a really great environment to get the girls to be comfortable. I gave a talk on our identity coming from being God's daughter, and the fact that no one can take that away from us. I talked about how we can relate our relationship to Christ as our husband. The girls really liked that. We watched a video to the song 'Beautiful' by 'Bethany Dillon.' The video was mainly about the struggles of attaining beauty by the world's standards. It was really powerful, and I know that it helped the girls a lot. We then had a prayer time, in which they wrote something down that they wanted God to help them love more about themselves. They took the piece of paper that they wrote on, and laid it at the foot of the crucifix that we had for the environment. After all that, we made HUSBAND BOXES! It was really awesome. We got blank boxes, and the girls were free to decorate as they please. The point of the boxes is that they can put things in it (letters to their future husbands, rosaries, prayer cards, etc.) and then give it to their future husband on their wedding day. The girls all loved that idea. We had so much fun with it. Last night's Glass Alabaster was about Friendship, and how we can be a good friend to each other, and how to love. It was really good, because the girls shared all the struggles they had with their girl friends, but how it is so good to have those relationships. 
Our team day, we celebrated beautiful Cecile's birthday!! Happy Birthday Cecile! We love you! For our women's session, we vegged out and watched a chick flick. It is one of our favourite things to do together, so it was really fun! Later, we blindfolded Cecile, and took her to one of our host homes. Cecile is Italian, and loves to cook... especially pasta! So that is what we did. We made delicious pasta! Then we had her favourite cake: cheesecake. So yummy. It was such a fun night! It has become a tradition to watch American Idol at this house as well, so that is how our night ended off. So great! Thanks for being born Cecile! We love you!This past weekend, Marcus and Cecile went to OLVC for a conference put on by the Massive w
orship team. Emily, DJ and myself had things to do here in Wetaskiwin. Friday morning, we went to adoration and daily Mass, as always. Afterwards, there was a little bit of a social for all the daily Mass attendees, so the three of us went to that. It was really good, because we go to daily Mass every week, but never really get to know the people that go. So this gathering was the perfect way to meet and talk to them. Also on this same Friday, we had an EDGE night. It was a movie social night. We watched one of my favourite movies, 'Despicable Me.' So funny. I was probably laughing the loudest, more than the kids were.

After the Massive Worship retreat, Cecile and Marcus came back... but they came with the Massive Wroship team!! It was really good to see them and to catch up with the team. On Monday night, we had a big praise and worship night at our contact person's home. Wow. That is all I can say. It was really great to come together and to praise our God with people from Wetaskiwin and with the Massive Worship team. Thank you for being so amazing and for doing the work of God, Massive Worship. We love you and miss you so much!I pray that you have an amazing week! We are excited this weekend for our supervisor visit! We love Sarah and Jesse! Can't wait for next's week blog!
God Bless,

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him!" Colossians 3:16-17
