A Very Busy Week


Hello,
I hope everything is going well for you all. I am doing quite well, other then the shot that I just received today! I was in the trauma zone, sitting in a reck center getting a shot in a place other then Dr. Baptist's office! They didn't even give me a ban-aid! But I pulled through.
This week there is nothing really to report. Monday through Friday we were in class from 9 to 5. It was quite long but I enjoyed the class. Don Taylor is one of my favorite teachers. He really cared about what he did and wanted us to soak in as much as we could. We had to do a group project for this class, which was to make a movie on the Old Testament. It took us about three days to shoot this movie, which involved most of us doing an all nighter just so that we could get it done. As we were filming (which I was one of the directors) I remember thinking to myself, "this is going to turn out awful!". I know that isn't very good, but that is what I felt when we were filming at 2 in the morning! But once we all sat down on Friday morning to watch it, I was wrong. It turned out to be amazing and super funny. The process of making it was fun, hard, and tiring. But I think that it drew us closer together and made us appreciate each other more.
On Wednesday we went to go see Anne of Green Gables. It was WONDERFUL!!! Words cannot describe how I loved it. The acting was amazing and the theater was so cute. But the only bad thing about it was that Gilbert was not a good Gilbert. He was short and had a squeaky little voice, not like the one in the movie.
This week end we had a retreat come. They were a bunch of highschool kids, one of them was my twin. I felt as though I was in the parent trap, finding my long lost twin. So many people thought that I was her and they thought she was me. I could not believe that some one else could have such a beautiful face as me! She and I didn't talk for the whole week end but we did make a few faces at each other. But on the day they were leaving I was determined to get a picture with her. I couldn't just let my twin leave without having a picture. So I searched for Erin, which is her name, for about 45 minutes. I finally found her and introduced myself. She agreed that we looked alike and agree for a photo. I probably creeped the poor girl out.
On Sunday we started prayer week. We are all stoked on praying for an hour everyday. It is set up so that someone is praying 24/7 all week long. I had my first one last night and I loved it. An hour is way to short. We have pictures all around the room of each Kaleo student, and I spent that time praying for them. I can't wait to do it again tomorrow. Please pray that this week will be a changing week. That all of us will learn and grow during this time of prayer.
Signing out until next time,
Ellie Downing
