As I write this there are 2 weeks of classes left in the semester and another week of exams after that. And then, my friends, school will be over. Ah, blessed thought. For any of you out there who are thinking about taking 5 classes, working 20 hours a week, being involved in school and church committees among other things, DON'T DO IT! This has not been the most enjoyable semester and I would not recommend this to anyone.
Right now Charlie and I are in the process of applying for our visas. We would very much appreciate your prayers as this is a long and tedious process but we remain optimistic. We're still hoping for an August 31st departure date and will keep you updated.
As for our plans for the summer, it's looking that we're going to be working full time until Stampede is over. Charlie will be continuing his job as a barista as Phil & Sebastian's coffee company, located at the farmer's market and I will be serving at Milestones Restaurant. After that, we'll be packing up our stuff and leaving for BC where we will spend a few weeks with Charlie's family and then off to Ontario to spend a couple weeks with mine. We're really looking forward to re-connecting and spending time with loved ones before heading off on our Spanish adventure!
Well...here we are! The 17 onSite students who are leaving for placements all over the world. What an amazing group of people! Tonight we had the amazing opportunity to be commissioned and anointed by over 100 students in our student body. It was a very special time and truly made me appreciate the wonderful community we have here at Ambrose.

It's the best way to travel the world for free!
