Josh left on Friday :( Its very sad. And Beau is leaving soon for team... so I'm giong to lose all my roommates. Maybe i should be getting an understanding out of it all... maybe I'm a people repeller. lol.
Anyways. it is very sad about Josh. And if everyone who reads this blog could pray for him that would be wonderful. Hes struggling. So please everyone pray for him.
We were meant to have a guys retreat weekend last weekend but.... because of the rain i prayed so hard for came, we all had to work on Saturday :( We still went on the camp though. All the guys went to a waterfall and camped at a campsite overnight. The view from the top of the waterfall was amazing. And there was a madness cave behind the waterfall that we went into. So cool.
However. We were told, or maybe we just assumed, that it would be really hot over the weekend. So many of us didn't pack for cold weather. Some of us (including myself) didn't pack sleeping bags. And most of us didn't bring jumpers. Well.... turns out that it was forecast to be a cold wet weekend. So we were cold that night... i wore three shirts to try and stay warm during the night, and slept with a towel for a blanket. Mmmm. How cosy! It wasn't too bad though. Tim was sleeping next to me and he had a sleeping bag, so he got really hot. At one stage during the night i felt the heat behind my back and so moved closer, putting my back against his arm, and it was so warm! i couldn't believe it! lol. and then i moved someones mattress half on me to use as a blanket. So i slept alright considering...
Oh! The funniest thing. In the middle of the night Tim started muttering, waking me up, and he said clearly that he couldn't go do something because "i have to go pick melons" !!! lol it made me chuckle so bad. I'm obviously not the only one traumatised by melons lol.
Us guys all had a good conversation though. About manliness and guys in general. If you've read it, think "Wild at Heart" and you will get the general idea of the conversation. It was good.
Monday we got another day off coz of rain. YAY! Well the people who work at the Galleas got a day off (which is me) so we got to relax all day. Well in the afternoon we got to relax at least. In the morning we had two lectures. Which were amazing by the way! James gave the lectures and they were on "Radical Discipline". Sigh. I love lectures :) Who would have thought there was so much to following the dude we call Jesus :)
I got sick Monday afternoon though :( I'm not sure why though. i suspect it could have been the amazing half of a milkshake i had. or something. so yummy :) unfortunately that meant i was unable to play touch footy. which our team lost at. again. i think we are setting a trend here. maybe, if we are lucky, we might some day play a team with only 3 players, meaning that we win a game for once! lol. wishful thinking i think :)
On Monday we also visited this really weird cafe that was also a shop. My mother would love it i reckon. She will have to check it out when she visits. But it had, on this bed, this crazy doll thing that looked half like a woman and half like a gorilla! It scared a few of us when we saw it lol. We were like "what is THAT!" lol. i wonder if i can upload photos on this thing... i probably can. I should go back, take a picture, and post it so you can all appreciate the creepiness of the doll.
Ok. I will end the blog here as its dinner time. Georgie cooked. Beef casserole or something. And food has priority over blog so.....
Goodbye
ps. oh and all the guys shaved their hair off :)
