Random update

Hey everyone!
this past week has been a interesting one for sure. from a more then sketchy youth meeting to a kick butt K6 V Staff floor hockey game! 
first off, the youth meeting, it was on Thursday night, which also happened to be the same time that we were to be playing our floor hockey game, the whole day i was debating whether or not i should be at the meeting and no matter what i thought about it just seemed that i was not supposed to be there. so i went to the game, played, had a blast, unfortunately lost to the staff team, (but thats ok, we will get them next time K6!). after the game we went out for slurpies at the sevey in Duncan. while we were there (and on the ride back home) i was informed of what had gone on in the youth meeting, only because there were a few who had chosen to go there instead of floor hockey. apparently, there are some issues going on with one of the pastors, trying to "take over" the youth program and make it his own creation, i do not want to start blabbering on about it, because i was not there and so i don't feel like i have a right to. but i will ask for prayer that things will be worked out. 
on friday night at youth, it was a little odd going in and seeing things from this new perspective that we have been given. i almost didn't feel prepared to be there and try and reach out to the kids when there seem to be some misguided directions that the program has begun to take. i know that we have been sent to this church for a reason, and i pray that if it is to see through this or to try and make a difference that we would have the courage to step up and do something rather than just sitting there and letting things go by. prayer for this is a huge thing right now. 
and on an awesome note! this week is going to be reading break! i will be staying here at the camp with just a few others who are doing likewise, but prayer for those who are traveling or who have family coming in would be great! i am hoping that we all get well rested from this week away and are brought back with a renewed desire to dig in to what God has put here for us. also, since it is a "reading" break, it would be good to be able to get some work done for classes as well!!
(sorry there have been no pictures lately, i will do better at finding some to stick in here next time!) 

one other thing that i will write about is that i have had the chance to talk to some people here who are feeling like they are just getting worn out, either with others or with trying to find out just why they were brought here. if you could pray that we would all get a renewed vision of why we have been called here and what it means for our future that would be super. 

thank you to whoever still finds the time in their days to read this and pray for all things Kaleo. i love you guys and hope that things are going well for you!!
God Bless!!
