roses and sweets

happy valentines my friends.

today was a beautiful and wonderful day. i woke up, had a shower, dressed in red and headed downstairs for breakfast. when we got to dinning room, there was a sign saying we couldn't go it until exactly 7:59 am, so we had to wait for a bit. then dale came and let us in and to our surprise were the tables set up with confetti, pink napkins, pink and red flowers, heart shaped waffles with chocolate sauce on them, a heart chocolate beside our plates, pink whipping cream, strawberries, and there was also a delicious hot chocolate with pink whipping cream on top. it was the most wonderful valentines breakfast, by far, i have ever had. the interns did it for us, so that was super sweet. we all got a verse on a piece of paper on our plates to read and enjoy. it was so neat.

then we had 2 lectures with murray, a super awesome kiwi youth pastor, and it was really good. then one lecture with dale. we had morning tea and heard the interns do their testimonies which were really well done. we had a yummy lunch then we started work day, which was good cause i finally got to work outside and work on my sweetas tan. that was fun, hung out with aaron putting sawdust down. then we played a game of volleyball before tea. then we ate a super great meal of big cabbage rolls, potatoes and sausage. yumm! our cook is ama-za-zing. but while we were enjoying our delicious food, the doorbell rang and dale went and answered it while we kept eating. my back was facing him so i didn't see what it was but he came in with a bouquet of flowers! he came right to..who? ME! it was a single pink rose. from my daddy i knew right away. he always gives me one single pink rose on valentines day and i was expecting to get it this year, being so far away and all. but it was sooo nice! i love him so much, i am so spoiled.
anyways, then we were supposed to have 2 lectures but we asked and pleaded until finally dale told us we didn't have them! so instead we went swimming in the outdoor pool for an hour, so that was fun.

good day in all, full of fun and surprises!

happy v-day to you all tomorrow!

Sweet V-Day Cassie!

I only got to second base on my valentine's day! Sounds like things are rockin' there. Have you had any assignments there yet? How many kids in your class? Are there any studs?

Love,
Your super-special-one-in-a-million-brother...

Sorry I forgot to post one last question.

What classes are you taking? And by classes I mean studs, and by taking I mean kissing.

soo
the only assignments have been to write these journal things, it's kinda lame, and read our bibles, two books that we are doing studies on, and write our testimonies.
there are 9 of us.

and sorry ben to disappoint you but there is a lack of studs. the guys are super nice and all but not what you're thinking.
