Our team has been so blessed this entire week with amazing billets each night. We haven't once had pizza or chicken fingers for dinner, instead, we've been fed home-cooked gourmet meals every single night. We got to stay with two of the families of some of our fellow School of Leadership students who are spending this semester in Mexico. It was really cool and weird at the same time to meet someone's family and stay in their house while they aren't even there. And it's especially cool to see where my new friends were raised and see where they come from.
On Friday we went to a native reserve school near Fort Qu'Appelle which was very different from what we were used to. It was definitely a challenge, that's for sure! But I have a feeling it may have been a warning for what we're going to be experiencing this coming week as we'll be travelling to northern Saskatchewan to perform for the Lieutenant Governor's Leadership Awards ceremonies. Our home base for the week will be La Range, but we will be travelling via plane to remote villages each day to do shows. We're leaving Regina tomorrow to head to La Range, then on Monday we start our shows. We have two shows on Monday in two different villages and we have to fly to both, so it's going to be a very long stressful day!
Life on the road is still going well. Our team is still in that "honeymoon" period where everybody loves being around everybody. This weekend we got split up five people at one house and five people at another, and none of us wanted to split up! It was really funny! But we're convinced that we're never going to graduate from the honeymoon stage, we always want to stay close :)
Anyways, it's midnight here so I suppose I should get some sleep before the trip tomorrow!
Hope everyone is doing well back home :)
Absolute School of Leadership is an 8-month leadership program which will take me on a four-month long tour of Canada where I will be participating in motivational speeches in highschools. I will spend the other four months living in Mexico where I will be teaching english, building houses, helping to lead humanitarian trips and doing other volunteer humanitarian work . The organization is going through a transformation right now, changing their name from Absolute to Live Different!

ReplyDeleteWow what an exciting time you are having: flying around Northern Saskatchewan, singing with the band and Northern Lights. I'll bet the lights were MORE beautiful than we've seen at home. Have a wonderful day. Love you and praying for you. Mom xoxoxox
