and sometimes i miss it more than i care to admit.
i promise you, manhattan, we shall meet again someday.
Just a quick update.
I am part of a team planting a church in my neighborhood
aka the ghetto/one of the worst neighborhoods in Edmonton.
Today we prayed around our new building, which is a community
center. Next Sunday we are having a free kick off
carnival! Please pray for us and our church.
I am so excited to get to know people in my community and
help them find joy. I am beyond excited to
be a part of peoples' lives in my neighborhood.
Pray for the students involved (it is about twelve of us), we are
planting with a friend's dad who is a pastor.
I am so excited to gain experience in planting churches
and to see broken people find life.
How about instead of preaching the Gospel we
do the Gospel.
Last night our friend Patrick randomly called us
with the offer of free tickets to the newsboys concert.
We had nothing better to do so Mandi and I went.
We didn't even stay for the newsboys but we saw two
really great bands. Johnny Diaz and Junk Yard Poets.
Last night my roommate Mandi and I went to a stellar show.
We got there early and hung out with one of the acts-- Jason Zerbin.
His most famous song is here.
He began as a worship pastor but has taken off in the
secular music industry... this song was on Degrassi! Haha.
So anyway Mandi, Andrew, Jason, and I walked through the
A&W drive thru.
The best band by far was Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk.
You can check them out here.
Over all, it was suchhhhh a great night and a rad show.
I love getting to know amazing new people.
Last night my roommate Mandi and I went for dinner
at Block 1910, which is a great coffee shop/restaurant
that makes all their food from scratch in the store.
After our great food we went to a show
at Wunder Bar that I will post pictures from later!

Recently, I have been so infatuated with God.
I have been craving His word more than ever.
Recently, I have been desiring to love others like He does more than ever.
I never want to go back to how I was before this point.
Only forward.
Let Your love pump through my veins.
Let me see people with Your eyes.
