Basketball Games, Bible Studies, and Rugby

Hey Guys! I have had a busy busy week and I am sorry that I have not been more regular in my updates. We did bible in school yesterday and then went to some of the youth's basketball game in which they dominated. Last night we saw the new harry potter movie which only gets me more excited about the 7th book coming out this weekend. I won't have much time to read the book though because this weekend is going to be busy! I am going to Bible Study tonight after spending the day downtown with on of our young adults and then tommorow we are going to be going to the All-Blacks versus the Wallabies in the Tri-Nations Championship (Rugby). Its going to be pretty awesome because there are about 30 of the church going with me. Then on Sunday we have church then I am going to go to Snow Planet with this youth group guy named Lindsey, a guy who I have been able to really establish a relationship with, and this is going to kind of be our last hoorah before I go back. I am realizing how much I am going to miss everyone here and how fast 9 weeks can go by. All I can do is focus on the next week and a half, try to make the best of it and trust that God is going to do bigger things than I can do on my own. If you would please be praying for our Men's Challenge (a retreat for men) that is coming up this week I would appreciate it, I think it is going to be awesome with over 5 churches getting involved. Thank you all again and I will try to update again before I leave for Men's Retreat!

Tell them the truth Ryan Jones!!! That you used me for a month, while I paid for everything; meals and trips. That I took you on a camping trip, on Valentine's Day, I paid for to help you cope with your brother's death. That on your brother's birthday, you got blackout drunk and I took care of you while you verbally abused me. That I saved your life because you were alcohol poisoned and were chocking on your own vomit. That after you committed yourself to me and told me to hang on while you sort all this out, you then disposed of me like yesterday's garbage. Tell them the truth!!! I am honorable and will defend this any day and anytime!!!! Why don't you tell them what an abusive alcoholic you are and how you can't it get up normally because you sit at home, jerking off to FART PORN (not a joke people SERIOUSLY-he jerked off to fart porn while I watched-HIS request). Don't you fucking dare lie about me when I treated you like gold and cherished you!!!
