Let it snow!


Hello beautiful people reading this blog,

At the Corn Maze!
This is Natalie coming to you straight from Lethbridge!  I hope all of you are keeping warm and happy - the snow is finally melting over here… Oh ya, did you hear about how we got 27cm of snow?  It was beautiful, but the roads were pretty slick… Chase, the Texan on our team, got a lesson on "how to drive in the snow."  The first night that it snowed, we were hanging out with the High School ARISE group at a corn maze - it was a lil' chilly.  After we got back into town, we stopped at Tim Horton's and had the snow ball fight of the century!  Chase got his first face wash in the snow!

Things here have been busy but amazing all at the same time.  On Halloween, we had planned our second youth night to be on Saints!  Unfortunately only two youth showed up… fortunately we had an amazing night with them!  We played Werewolves (my own on-the-spot version of Mafia - great game), Daniel gave a mini spiel on what Halloween means, and for the rest of the time we played Sardines in the dark basement of St. Martha's Parish, and ate a lot of cupcakes.  The two that came had a great time, and so did we - God provides!

On every Thursday, we attend Little Saints - this is the youth group for the little ones on their way to Sainthood.  This group goes from Pre-K to Grade 5, and they are SO GREAT!  It's only an hour, but it's extremely entertaining - they say the best things.  Last week, the topic was Genesis and what happened with Adam and Eve.  When the group was asked "What are some consequences of what might happened when you sin?", one little girl answered "Maybe sometimes… we might have to eat dirt!"  Uh, love em'!

I myself have now been placed in a new role of leading music at Little Saints, and for the past two weeks, Jillian and I have been teach them songs.  I play the guitar and sing, while she teaches them the actions!  They're not such a tough crowd, so it's fun AND easy!

I hope this blog made you feel more apart of the team, thanks for reading!
Have a great week and don't forget to check in next week to see what other shenanigans we may get into!

May God bless your hearts,
- Natalie
