I love Raking!!

Wow, that was super fun! First: last night, our house had Lisa and Jessica over for a 6 women sleep over. (wowsers!!) Then, we awoke to freshly made french toast, fruit salad, nutella, raspberry-lemon loaf (which i made on friday night...my baking night) and tea this morning. (fantastic!)

At 11am, we went to meet up with 20 others from our College and Career group to go rake lawns!! It was awesome! Armed with rakes of all different sorts and gloves and bags, we went out to connect, serve, and hang out with the 'older' members of our church...and their neighbours...and any 'un-owned' spots (like medians in the middle of cul-de-sacs with grass and trees)... There's something very very 'soul-feeding' and wonderful about service and taking time to hear ppl's stories.

I came back, took a 3 hour nap from 3-7pm, made a vague attempt at studying the hip joint and all the weird and wonderful tests (really, contorsions) we can do to our patients, went out for bubble tea-ing, more studying, and other errands.

Tommorrow is always the highlight of my week: church and fellowship. As well, we're having a worship/fellowship night at our house later that evening and i think i'm going to make 'welsh cakes' too. I miss making and eating Welsh Cakes. And it brings back really fond memories of my 2 yrs in Wales.

love you all!
