It's been a year; how crazy is that? It boggles my mind to think that a year ago today, 26 of us descended upon camp to begin an intense journey that none of us were really prepared for. Along the way, we became a group of 21, yet God made that good. It was a good year. Maybe not good in the way we expected but good because God made it good.
So where are you now? I want to know!
I'll start us off: I'm currently sitting in the Student Union Building (SUB) at UBC Vancouver. I am still living in Surrey, so I'm commuting an hour and a half each way (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter; today was about an hour forty). However, I love UBC. I love being in university, I love the size, I just love the vibe here. I'll probably move onto campus next year though cause four years of the commute seems a little ridiculous to me.
I'm also working at Starbucks as a barista, a job which I have wanted since I was 16. Now I'm realizing it isn't as cool as I thought, but I still love that as well. It's definitely a learning curve, but not one I can't handle. Honestly, learning Starbucks drinks is harder than school right now!
I'm youth leading at my church for grade 9 girls. I am one of two leaders for this age group and my co-leader is such a great person. I've known her for a while but now I have the chance to know her better which I'm stoked on! As well, I have plugged into a Bible study here at home which a lot of the youth leaders go to and I love it. There is a solid community there.
So yeah, that's pretty much life right now. I was scared coming into the fall because my closest friend moved away but I am strengthening other friendships and have a sweet cell phone plan so I can talk to my bestie anytime I want! All in all, I think this year will be grand!
Love you all. Miss you all.

Being a nerd and going to school for computer sciences at a University called Kwantlen. It's pretty sweet so far and not too hard at the moment. I'm also looking for a job cause I'm poor.
I'm at the mother ship, doing my Biblical Studies degree! It's going pretty sweet so far. It's amazing how much change can take place in a year.
I'm heading to Latin America for one year (leaving in a week). Will be traveling by car to almost all of the countries in South and Central America, bringing the gospel to those that are unreached, as well as strengthening the churches and missionaries in those countries with discipleship and encouragement! Stoked.
Haha nice atta boy Brent, keep it up bro
Well... my dog died and I miss her A LOT. I've been denied to adopt from the SPCA (what's up with that?!)and I'm suffering from anxiety attacks again. But I did get my N!... then hit and dented a car 2 days later (which was today). Basically I hit a bunch of bad luck and maybe whoever reads this would be able to shoot up a quick prayer for me that things would get better.
I love you all and keep you in my prayers.
p.s. I'm not engaged
