Confession Time: Barbies and Knights in Shining Armour

I guess it is time to post again. I have actually started to write a new post a couple times. Each time the main subject seems boring and infantile when I am finished the first paragraph. I have actually wanted to use that would a lot lately so I am quite excited that I got to use it. But I am not 100% sure I even know what it means and if I used it in the right context. But that is not very important.

I think I will start with an update on how planning for Nicaragua is going. OK, next subject...

I have this weird obsession of watching Gilmore Girls. I actually don't like them that much. They really annoy me most of the time. But none-the-less I watch it way to much.

Guess what I did! I played Barbies. Yes, you read that last sentence right. Barbies. I haven't played with those dolls in years...yes, it has been years. I am not that strange that I always play Barbies....I don't really, and I didn't really now either. I don't even know why I am confessing this...I will probably be bug mercilessly, though I am not sure by who.

Well, confession time is over for me. But guess what?!?! I am 18 in four days! I am not actually that excited. I actually think that it is going to be the worst birthday ever but I guess we will have to wait and see. I'll let you know if it sucked.

I am feeling like another confession so here goes...I drew a horse with a knight. Pretty flippin awesome I think!

Nicaragua

Alright, I know. Where have I been? I always get annoyed when no one updates their blog and here I am not posting anything but over a week. I've got no exuse. I've actually had a lot more time to blog than I did two weeks ago. But honestly, my life isn't that exciting right now. I mean, I love living at home and everything but I don't really do anything.

So, instead I will post the letter that I have and will be sending to some people. It is quite exciting =)

Hi,
As you might have heard, I am planning on going with Action Canada to Nicaragua for a missions trip. I will be leaving on January 21st and returning March 3rd, 2009.
Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America and the second poorest in Latin America. It is also the largest country in Central America and approximately 1/5 the size of Manitoba.
I will be working mainly at CINAG (Gethsemane Centre for Children at Risk) near Diriamba doing construction work. The purpose of the trip is not only to work at the site but also to build relationships with the children and staff there.
I will also have the opportunity to visit some Churches in the surrounding area and participate in their services. There may be the chance to assist one congregation construct their place of worship.
Please pray for me while I am on the missions trip; that I will be willing to follow God and be able to show love to the people I interact with.
If you want to help me financially, please make cheques payable to Action International Ministries and include my name on a separate piece of paper. Donations can be handed in to me or be mailed to the Action Canada office by December 15th for tax receipts.

Thank you so much,

Janette Brandt

I told you it was exciting.
