The last couple of months...

Hello everyone,

The Hockey season has been over for over a month now, however, i find that there are other things going on in my life that i am able to share with my readers. School has been going well since i last wrote. I am doing well in all my classes. Some i have to work harder in than others, but that is just how it goes sometimes. I continue to find favor with my professors as the word says believers do. Just the other day i met with my advisor to setup my schedule for the fall, my advisor is also a professor that i had back in the fall for my Kinesiology class. After we talked for a while she offered me an opportunity to do an independent study. Basically she wants to create a Teacher Assistant (TA) position for me for her Intro to Kinesiology class. The class goes M, W, Friday and fridays she has them as optional classes. So what she wants me to do is, come in on fridays and lead a discussion with the students and that is pretty much all i will have to do. She said it would be worth 3 credits! Amazing! She also said that it is an open offer, so if it does not work out for this Fall, i will be able to do it in the Spring or whenever. I was pretty happy about it.

Last weekend one of the guys on the team wanted to come to church with me. I went over to pick him up at his house on sunday and he had overslept and he didn't end up coming with me. So this past sunday he really wanted to come and i went to pick him up sunday morning. His name is Marcus, and he is from Sweden. He came with me and he really enjoyed it. We went over to some peoples house from the church afterwards and ate a big dinner with them. They have a huge family so the place was packed. But marcus really liked it, it reminded him of being at home. So i was very thankful for that opportunity and that he was able to come. I think he will come back with me again.

Over the last couple of months i have been thinking about my summer and what i would do with this summer. I had several ideas, but like i always want each summer, i want more opportunity to be on the ice. So about a month ago i got an email from a sports camp in Maine, that wanted me to come and be a camp counselor for the summer, they wanted someone to be the hockey instructor. So i looked around all over their website and tried to do some research on them. I found out some things, but i needed more information. So i emailed the guy back and he still has not emailed me with more info. However, i realized that i really liked the idea of being a camp counselor. Not necessarily at this camp though. So i did some research online and i found this camp called "Pro Ambitions Hockey Camp". It is a camp run by a guy who used to play for the Pittsburgh Penguins. As far as i can tell it looks like he runs camps in a ton of different states. All the way from California to Massachusetts. So i emailed him about the possibility of being a camp counselor for some camps. I was thinking for the camps he holds in the Massachusetts area, so that i could live with Mike and nancy again. He emailed me back, but he did so just to say he would contact me again soon so we could talk more. So i am waiting to hear back from him again. I really would like to do this, it would give me an opportunity to be on the ice everyday and i could really improve, as well as have the opportunity to help young kids as well. I continue to commit my way to the Lord and i expect Him to lead me to where He wants me to go. If i should come home again in the summer, that would be great as well. I would just desire the Lord to provide a way i can get on the ice every single day.

Thats all i will write for now. I will attempt to keep you guys better updated throughout the spring. Love you all!

P.S. The picture is of a group of people from my church up here. We went to a hockey game in Syracuse a couple weeks ago. Just so you know
