A Guy You Will Want To Get To Know

I am very happy to present to you our Kaleo Intern for the guys this year, Justin Lenny.

Justin was a Kaleo student in 2006/07 (also known as Kaleo Four), and is currently finishing up his third year at Briercrest College, where he was an RA in the dorm this year. He comes from Orangeville, Ontario, which is hometown for a couple of you (where did that town get its name??). Justin amazes me with his huge sense of adventure, whether it is climbing a tree, running up walls or following Jesus. You will love his ability to listen to you with his full attention, and to speak truth into your life that you don't want to hear but need to. Justin is a great addition to our Kaleo leadership team this year, and we are so glad to have him!

We are still working on who will be the Intern for the girls, and will let you know soon.

Praise God

So for this summer I applied for the assistant cook position at a camp called Wilderness, it is part of Ness Lake Bible Camp in Prince George, BC. I was really worried because I applied late and there were like 5 other applicants and they had trouble receiving my application. But I got an e-mailed form letter from the top dog at Ness Lake today saying that I am accepted and I start June 8th! :D

Blurry vision...

With the situation that was put before me I was blessed to say I got a little glimpse of what Kaleo's going to be like. As I was thinking about a word that would sum up I thought of "Blurry vision". I know it's 2 words, but if I just said blurry it wouldn't really make sense.

This past week was the final Kaleo week. It was filled with lots of laughter, but also a lot of tears. Tears of joy as they remembered the good times, and tears of sadness as they will be leaving their new family. As I watched the ceremony and listened to all to good times they had I couldn't get over the fact that they kept saying "I can't believe its already thanksgiving" "I can't believe it's Christmas" "I can't believe its time for our missions trip" "I can't believe its over "...

As the ceremony went on I got a reminder once again on how fast time really goes. It wont be long before we're all gathered on the grass out front of club coco, meeting one another for the first time and trying to remember the names of everyone. So if you're kinda like me and can hardly wait to start Kaleo, just stop and remember to smell the roses. Because it wont be long before we're saying are goodbyes or as I like to call them "see you later's" because there's never goodbyes if you don't want them to be.

So I guess to sum up would be this. Live in the moment, life will pass you by if you let it.

And for all you K6'ers reading this...I love you all and I miss you...see you later,

Nick's post reminded me.

So, Nick had mentioned that you could contact him on Skype. This is actually a really good idea and an easy way to talk. So if you don't already have skype I recomend you get it. I think atleast most of k6 uses it. It's quite nice to have some days. Just a thought. Feel free to contact me on Skype, I'd love to chat. (My skype name is BriaLinnae)
Ciao for now,
Bria

YEAAAAAAAAAHHHH KALEO!!
Well there goes my blog virginity...
Anyway now that I've let that out of my system I would like to introduce myself as the 8th wonder of the world, or the guy with the second coolest name in the universe (The first would be Bob Drinkwater), Nick VanSnick. It is a pleasure and privilege to be able to serve and spend time with you all this coming year at K7. I definitely can't wait to get outside, I feel very cramped here at the University of New Brunswick having to study and take classes with very little outside time.
So a little about me but I'll try not to be like the guy who went on his first and last date, "Now that's enough about me talking about me, let's give you a chance to talk about me." :P
Right now I'm at UNB studying Civil Engineering, this is my first year out of highschool and I have come to a realization that I love Jesus too much and have a different set of skills that would more benefit the kingdom if put to use in ministry. That's where Kaleo comes in. I'm hoping to find a new direction and a clearer focus of where God wants to send me next, thought I'd take it one year at a time and start with this amazing one year program.
Since I'm having difficulties having my brain thing connect to those limby things... Fingers! That's it... I think I'll leave it at this for now, can't wait to chat with you guys, I'm on facebook and skype if you ever have the courage to add someone crazy like me.

Your Brother in Christ

Number 1 reason. To learn more about God and myself.

Life experience.

At my school they offer a dual credit program. So I get a high school credit and a college credit and its once a week with a college setting and other college students. My program I am taking is Popular Culture and I adore this class.

5. Are you currently dating someone?

Nope I am not. I am a picky girl. I like to be selective :).

6. Do you hope to find a "special friendship" at Kaleo?

Uhhhh... I assume this means someone I want to date? No I don't hope to find a "special friend". If I do, well I do and that was how it was meant to happen.

So I was bored one night and just looking trough the k6 blog and came across this little survey that one of the guys made. I thought that it was a good idea and seeing how there's not a lot of blogging happening maybe this will get the ball moving fast, or just more often,

Alright everyone here is a fun little survey to do with Kaleo and all of us going.

Aaron was the guy who made the quiz. I just copied and pasted the whole thing. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

U2?

Ya, U2 is coming to Vancouver, October 28th. I'm stoked and want to go really bad, this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'd like to see them before the die. Anyway, it would be far better of a time if any of you were interested as well and came with me. Their pre-sale is on Monday(April 6th) and I could for sure buy 4 tickets($160ish, you can reimburse me at school). If anyone would like to join me then please reply soon. I have talked to Jim and he says it shouldn't be a problem but just so you know, there is a chance we would miss a little bit of class. Transportation is taken care of. Please pray about it.
