on monday we had a memorial service for those killed in the shootings exactly a year before. about 150 people came to the worship service and midnight candlelight memorial, where it snowed like crazy, just like it did on that night a year ago.
the families of the victims and the gunman were there - and were united in their loss... never have i heard so many testimonies of how faithful God is, even in a time of utter tragedy.
"for God works all things for the good of those who love him"
the night after that all the students went to a theatre to watch a documentary that had been filmed on the snowboarder's dts. we are praying that it gets released nationally, if not internationally.
snowboarding
yesterday, we had our phase II snowboarding day - which was my first encounter with snow sports! and wow. snowboarding is harder than it looks. it took me 3.5 hours to complete one run... i know. it's embarrassing, but i spent 75% of that time on my butt.
here is a video to give you a little taste of what i did for most of the time:
"everything hurts!"
i woke up this morning, and muscles i didn't even know i had were aching , it is so hard to move! but despite all that, it was so so much fun, and i am so thankful that i didn't get seriously hurt (like my friend sarah here who broke her wrist when she tripped over a little boy)
