     Greetings, fellow Cornerstonians.

     Well, in the morning, we woke up to shining lights from a phone. :( Then we ate breakfast :) that made us feel amazing. Following breakfast, we had morning worship, and a session with a man named David (the speaker). We were prepared to head into our ministry.
     We had our first day with all the kids at ICYA, and oh boy are those kids a joy. 35 inner city young kids showed up. If you ask anyone in our group about their opinions on what the kids were like, I'm sure you would hear a lot of different opinions and thoughts. Some of us thoroughly enjoyed the kids quirky behaviour and hanging with them all day, while others had tests of their tolerance or patience from the kids. But overall we can all agree that the day was tiring, but awesome as we had a great opportunity to help out all the kids and staff and just love on them. A lot of us could all make easy bonds with a lot of the kids such as Dominic and Dominik, and some of them really bonded themselves to us (as in never letting go of us and riding on our backs 24/7). Even walking the kids home was a thrill. I know all of us are all looking forward to the next day though.
      On the ride home, we stopped for Timmy's. Andy had a medium black coffee, and Tyler had the world's most delicious cheddar cheese bagel. Later Andy returned to Timmy's with Sydney, Myles Tiessen, and two other guys, and he had another medium black coffee. He also learned how to use his debit card. (As you can probably tell, he has a lot of energy, and its almost 11.) We returned to the church for supper and evening worship, as well as a session led by Darlene.

     Farewell, from T-Remps and Andy K.
