Hey guys, as I said, I'll tell you about Summit. haha. The second I went to post the last one, my internet died, soooooooo, I've been playing Legend of Zelda everyday for the last 3 days. haha
Anyways, Summit was cool. There were a LOT of students. 130! from 7 campuses. We had 14 from Carleton and it was a great time. Gregg Hinzelman was the speaker (he's the regional director). He had 3 main sessions to speak at and so he spoke about Prayer, Evangelism, and the life of Peter. All three were really great talks.
Prayer was all about praying specifically, seeing God answer prayer, and the resulting increase in faith and asking God for bigger things, and just the cycle there.
Evangelism was all about just looking at the Acts Church and what they were doing and how they saw God bring so many people to a saving knowledge of Christ. He looked at like the word counts and essentially it all boiled down to: you see people come to know Christ when you share the gospel. As simple as that.
Peter's life was all like, just taking those steps of faith. Peter followed Jesus, took initiative, took risks, was bold, humble, and focused, and we see him being used to start the Acts church, we see him do crazy things, but at the same time, he was just a normal person.
Carleton as always had awesome campus times, and so much Spirit. haha We didn't do very well at Soccer or Ultimate though. haha but we had the best team cheers! We teamed up with uOttawa and Vanier College to form a team of 10 students to face off against Queens, Concordia, and McGill, who each had like 15-20 people on their teams. Anyways, 1. We are the Ravens, 2. We are the GeeGees, 3. We are the Cheetahs, 4. More, more, more!!!
I think everyone had pretty awesome times. Got to share a testimony on the Sunday morning and ya. Good time to get away. My phone got wet in the lake (after sports we ended up throwing everyone into the lake. lol) but is fine now. Uhh. Ya.
I think the main things I am taking back are just the need to pray specifically and to go share the gospel with people if we want to see lives changed.

Taking Steps
Yo. This week was pretty cool. I guess I haven't really told you guys anything about Summit yet. I will in a post in a minute or two. But it was awesome.
Coming back from Summit was a chance for us all to take steps of faith and Discipleship Groups were starting! =D Unfortunately this week was also the week where I had two really big midterms, both Biotech and Mycology.... haha
So this week I had this tension between studying, going out sharing about Jesus on campus, and also working on my thesis, just to throw that into the mix (I got to talk to my prof and decide some things last week).
At the end of Summit as normal, there was a challenge to trust God with a faith barrier and I made 4. haha. Kinda just what I figure God had already been telling me to do, but had been too relctant to actually do them. One of my faith barriers at Summit was to share Jesus with 4 of my classmates, 2 other friends, and my Philosophy prof (if that all counts as one barrier... haha). So I wanted to meet up with each of them.
Three of them I got to cram with this week. haha. Two for biotech. We got to meet up in a library study room 1.5 hours before the midterm and just ask each other some questions and study. We felt pretty good, so for the last 20 minutes we just got to know each other a bit better. The other time I got to meet up with my classmate really early. haha. The week before he had asked me about IT who is currently serving as a missionary in Mexico. xP They apparently knew each other way back in first year and she had been able to share about her trip with him. He was like, really stressed about the midterm. We got to study for a bit.
I didn't get a chance to share more about Christ, but I hope to continue to take opportunities to grow these relationships.
I also got to meet up with a friend who used to be a classmate. We did Zumba yesterday (embarassing, but a good bonding time) and I got to share a little bit about how I want to go on missions and stuff.
I also finally got the cell number of one of the other people on my list. She's in my Philosophy class and so we hang out for like 15 minutes after each class in the library reviewing the class material and then talking about random things. Our quiz is on Monday, so we've been texting a bit, and making philosophy jokes. LOL. I emailed my prof and had a short conversation there, told her I was praying for her.
My last friend was too busy. He got a couple jobs recently. lol
So this week was cool times. haha. Can't wait for what else God has in store as I pray for my friends and seek after His will in these situations.
