ribbon creek

on saturday we went on a hike in kananaskis for focus

it was so beautiful...at some points we were completely surrounded by mountains

we climbed for a couple hours, even through snow, but the waterfall we saw at the end was definitely worth it

the way back only took about an hour, which was really nice (a bit hard on the knees coming down) and once we got to the bottom it started to rain

unfortunately for a few of us who got down first, curtis had the keys to the van and somehow he was 40 minutes behind us on the mountain

we were a wee bit damp and chilly by the time he arrived to let us in the van, but such is life, and it was still a lovely day minus the being really cold and wet part

thora's grad celebration

we went to moxie's to celebrate thora graduating from auc/nuc

yay thora!

pray that she is able to find a job soon...

indian night

on monday nights wycliffe has "cultural nights" where you go and eat food and sing worship songs of a specific culture. this monday was indian night, and stawan and shavenish were both leading worship. merissa joined them as well, since she's this random music guru and happened to listen to indian worship music even though she didn't know what the words meant and so she knew pretty much all the songs they were singing.

well, indian girls love getting dressed up, so none of us were going to miss the opportunity either.

shay and stawan of course got into traditional clothes too.

if you want to hear some of the songs we sang, i'm putting some videos here. i love this beautiful music. it's such a wonderful thing to be led into the presence of God through music from a different culture and in a different language.
