Another month gone by, and so many things!

In this past month, we have learned many things. such as...

In Prince George... Adults are actually not bad at volleyball!! ( we did a concert and the church service and kids chapel )

In Lamont/Bruderheim... Teddy bears are not the best flags for capture the flag!! and Eric is too tall. ( we got to have fun with the youth, do a church service! { I read the old testament reading :D}, as well as a song for the remembrance day ceremony, and some songs for the kids at the elementary school!!!! )

In Edmonton... Kristin learned the big little album. very quickly!!! she is sooo good at actions!!! her storm is sa-weet! ( Sunday school fun!!.. we totally didn't use candy in the bread breaking part of the skit)

In Stony Plain... that pot luck is thee way to go. And kids like playing instruments!! and its cool when you can give them one to play!! ( we did... 'dinner music' as well as a day teaching kids at st. matt's songs, then a concert and chapel )

In Grande Prairie... how bananas can be crammed! did you know, that a guy named Jacob can eat 7 bananas in two minutes?! ( Banana cram youth retreat!! Insanity!!.. chuch on sunday, as well as sunday school)

and now we are in La Ronge, Saskatchewan! Where it is cold and snowy and.. pretty cool :) We did a concert for the folks at the church yesterday, games with the youth and another concert today, and tomorrow we will be doing the service followed by a visit to some elderly people and another concert! Then back to Lamont and Edmonton and such! and... 26 days til Christmas!!! ( i think!)

so, thats 'officially' what we've been doing this past month. We have also spent a great deal of time at at West Edmonton Mall! Eek! We saw some seals and a pirate ship and went glow in the dark minigolfing and went on rides and wandered and saw Christmas trees!!! and Kristin bought a $30 bag of candy that we are still eating to this day.

Oh! and Kaila and I built the first snowman of the season!!

We also had some time to work on some new songs! and sweet ones that no one has ever heard before! doesn't that just make you want to come to our concert?!!

we also went to tim hortons practically every day. sometimes twice! its a terrible addiction, but at least its not as expensive as Starbucks... man.... I want starbucks. UH OH!

And now, off to bed I go! for church is in the morning!!

Looooovvveeee,

Sam.

... man! so cool that this blog is a team thing. if it was only posted on by one person, there'd be like 3 posts all year!!

Finally an Update

Ok so it's been a while...almost a month. We've been busy, but now we need to let all you cool kids know what's going on.

So...training is finally done as of last week, and we are on the road now.

Training--we spent on Vancouver Island, near Chemanius (mural land extravaganza) and in the lovely lower mainland-Langley. We spent many a crazy nights at Sam's home church in Langley, where many adventures of many sorts happened. But that's a story for another day. :P Now that we have left that amazing place, we left behind some people who we had just started to get to know. We miss them already, that's for sure!!! sniff sniff...anywho

Past month has consisted of doing church in Parksville, Chiliwack, and Surrey, B.C.

Our first school chapel time was in Port Coquitlum, B.C. (birthtown of the Tin) which was an energizing time. The kids were amazingly receptive to what we had to offer. We would gladly go back there anytime! :)

We had our first concert at St. Luke's in Surrey this past weekend. It was a good start to this crazy year ahead of us. Bec their new Crazy and Cool DPS was very encouraging and still loves us regardless. :P

Now that we've been on the road for a whole 2 days we've hit up 100 mile house and the infamous Quesnel, B.C. :) 100 Mile House had some very enthusiastic kids--dancing in the aisles and everything! Made our day that was for sure. Quesnel...well just some chill time for now, and crazy times with qSarah--"the what to do and what not to do" CREW talk. (We love you qSarah!!!)

And that is a very short summary of what's been going on in the life of us, REDEFINED for the past month and a bit. We are looking forward to this next week as we are heading towards the Alberta area. !!! Yay....and I guess the fact that we are heading closer and closer to snow is something to celebrate too. HA maybe. :) So yeah I could really ramble on and on, but that's Eric's job. (love you :D) But we promise to update more, provided we have internet.

Feel free to comment, e-mail, check out our bios on CREW's website. You know, that sorta cool thing. :P If you are reading this on facebook you can go to the actual website to see the real version (www.crewredefined.blogspot.com). Ooooh yeah.

Peace kids, and don't forget we love you, but Jesus loves you more.
