Downeeeeeeyyyy update
Well guys I think that God is trying to get me to post on here because my Facebook won't work so I can't waste time on there....I hope you're happy Jim and Jordan=)
Well I've been home for a total of 2 days. Have already had 2 Starbucks runs and have been driving all over the place dropping Arlan off and seeing people. It has been an amazing time so far. Hanging out with Bethany was incredible, so good to see her and I got to hang out with one of my best friends yesterday before he heads back to the island for Christmas. I also got to go to my Middle School Youth Leader's Christmas party! Other then that I haven't done very much, stayed up late watching Ocean's 13 with my Dad last night, slept in this morning and our Christmas tree is now half set up- just the decorations to do tonight when every one's home.
Yeah so that's it. It's been weird being home, getting off that ferry and hitting big city traffic was crazy, and driving in rush hour seemed extremely foreign to me. I love being home though, so good to catch up with everyone here and my family especially. I'm finding it amazing to come back and share about Kaleo and look at pics with my parents, helps you take a deep breath and begin to digest (or should I say eat, oh that's a knee slapper=) everything that's happened this fall.
Here's my random thinking for now, I was taking the bus and skytrain yesterday to meet up with my Dad at work. So there I am stuck on a skytrain, what better place to start ministering to people while they're stuck on a train. I think I'd be killed if I did do that though. Why is it so much easier, although still stinking hard, to go sit with a homeless person in Victoria and chat to them then it is to sit beside someone on a bus and start talking to them?!?? Well there's my rant. As soon as I get any exciting pictures of being home I'll post again, and yes I will be keeping you all updated=)=)=)

You did minister to them...when your Bible fell out of your pocket and you forgot it on the bus....just sayin :)
Downey!! Oh Wee-Downey, glad to hear Facebook's not working for you. Enjoy the rest, being home and seeing family and friends again. Traveling seems to be one of the best opportunities to minister to people, be it trains, planes or busses. Just start up a pointless conversation with someone about what they're reading, then eventually (because you can't talk about anything else since it consumes your life) you'll talk about Kaleo, and therefore how God's working in life. I'm so excited to hear how your doing when I come visit man, I'll see you at New Years! Take care bud,
-Viktor (Kaleo 4)
