Hey People,
well, it was a great weekend!
Honestly
Some of the talks were great, the praise was amazing and the filming went really well, proset to Jon, Nicky, and Godwin and of course to the Accedemy for the music.
Really, I would only change a few thing in the whole conference, and they're minor things.
Great Annual conference.
It was also a boost to my self asteem, as I found it easy to make new freinds throughout these three days, and I am really gonna miss all of them until I get to see them again.
Not much time to write a more detailed post about the evnts, would love to, I mean the praise session on Sunday alone is enouph to fill a post. A quick show of how good it was: During filming, the camera men mmiss out completely on the spiritual ide of things, and yet, during Sundays Praise, I was filming, singing at the top of my lungs, and crying for a whole hour. REALLY AMAZING!
well....just one more thing to say:
As I said earlier, next Friday I'm going to start taking orders of the Outreach DVD. Due to some problems we had last year, I'm only taking orders upon payment. So...the price of the Outreach DVD alone is lm3.50. If you order the coming youth weekend DVD with it, It's lm5 for both. (The Weekend DVD, thing, still has to be confirmed)
Well thats about it my Happy people.

Ta Pinu
Hey people,
OK well, I am going to give an account of our weekend...funness
Well, Saturday morning, bright and early I made my way to Cirkewwa to get the boat to Gozo where I was to meet Pedro, Jonathan and Sarah, I met Joe Angelique and the Pauls instead, well, while the others went to have a bit of breakfast I went with Joe and co. to ta Pinu to get started on the setting up. The setting up went smoothly until 12.15 when we had to leave cause they had to close the church.
So we took the opportunity to go for lunch. Well with Jonny, Me, Mig, Ian, Karl and Sarah in one mini van, Pedro and Nicky in a van and Lawerence and George in an other. We had some fun off-roading through one of the many valleys that litter our sister island. Sarah screaming everytime a puddle of mud approaches...anyway...we finally got there and had a nice hearty meal, and it's back to Ta Pinu to continue setting up.
Oh. Please note, the filming team where trying out filming and editing on the spot by use of a mixer, I think we did exceptionally well, and a BIG BIG congrats, welcome, and thankyou to Nicky, for being a great Rigger, we worked him hard for his first time.
Ok, healing service passed and time to pack up, it went relatevely smoothly too. except, after everyone left, it was just joe and Angelique in the big van, me and Pedro in His, JOnny and Sarah in the mini van, and Godwin and wife in their car, I realised the side door of the big van was left open and no one noticed. well we inform Joe who got out to close it, but didnt manage, eventually it took the five guys, pushing and rpocking the van pushing one of the panels in to manage. all this in the rain.
ok...off the smugglers to eat. then everyone had to lerave all of a sudden as we recieved information that a massive storm was coming. Sure enough, with the lightening flashing non stop, and the rain coming down forming a thick curtain of water everyone started running to their vehicles. Me Jonny Sarah Pedro and Ian where in Pedros van, we got in and started off towardfs Xlendi.
We got to the road leading down into a Valley. It was a river. so after a bit of contemplation we decide to find a quiet road and wait for a bit.
well...there in the rain, Sarah decides to pluck up the courage and say "come on guys, lets pray for it to stop", less than 5 seconds later JOnny goes "itfi il magna Ped, se' indumu hawn"
I could not stop laughing.
After a while i suggest a song: after much complaining from Pedro (my singing leaves much to be desired) I started the song, I only got past the first sentence "Let it rain..." "NO!"
Eventually we decide to go see how the situation had changed...it hadn't so we park the van in a road over looking the valley. After a while JOnny, Pedro and myself decide to walk further along a road to see how the situation was further down, 2 minutes walk and suddenly the lights in the road go out. I stop dead leaving Pedro walking into me. we decide to go back.
Well after sitting in the dark, rain , and lightening, we finally get the chance to try again.
Good News, we made it to our flat
which was without electricity.
well sitting their in the dark soon sent Pedro and Jonny off to sleepy land, leaving Ian, Sarah and myself to entertain ourselves...don't get ahead of me people...
we decided to call the enemalta gozo branch, who informed us that the electricity problem was coming form Malta and should be fixed in the next ten to fifteen minutes, well we waited for 20 minutes while chatting and laughing, and trying not to go towards the far corner where water was coming in and slowly turning the room into a pool. We then called again, and he said exactly the same thing.
So we figured, lets try and see what the problem is from malta, so Sarah calls up the directory service "Hello, could you give me the number of Enemalta in Malta please" gah...duh...well we called, "good morning.."
he says that the problem is serious and they are still waiting for permission to try switch the electricity on again.
two minutes later the lights come back on...CELEBRATION!!
We call the enemalta gozo branch again to thank them and congratulate them for their superb service.
"min liema naha qed iccempel?" the guy asks
"xlendi"
"em...ok...ghax ghawnhekk ghadna bla dawl"
laughs, the enemalta branch was still without electricity while we had.
we eventually get to bed around 4am.
next morning, the rain had stopped but was replaced by strong winds.
The five of us in the flat skip breakfast (we woke up at 11) and met Joe and Angelique for lunch, it was very nice.
after lunch, the rain had started again, its off to the boat and back to Malta. Of course after a bit of a hassle to get the van in...
a good weekend all in all
what made it really amazing are the five people I spent most of my time with, may God trully Bles you

PS Yesterday went to Zmerc with the same people from Gozo plus Stephan to surprise Pedro for his 24th Birthday, was really fun, really love you guys, honestly, you are all a blessing to me. Pedro was really surprised and I'm happy he enjoyed it, He really deserved it, He's a great friend and a great Man of God
God Bless you buddy!

update
Hey people,
I know it's been a while, but with moving back to Gzira for the winter, starting uni again, and re starting rugby I've been rather busy. Well, just to let you know, my computer fucked up, gone completely, trying to fix it, but not sure it will survive, this you might realise is a big problem considering all the work i've got to do on it for my course. besides that I've got all the work Community asks me to do on computer which i am having to go down to Matt's house to do (thanks to him)
I just came back from Valletta too, i went for about 15 useless minutes as, the lectuyrer didnt specify enough which details we have to do. and soon im meeting mike mark dezz and lou here in uni to hang out a bit.
nothing planned for tonight, except to go to Angie's for a bit. Tomorrow got a long day of lectures finishing at 4pm, starting at 8am. gah.
thursday got annointing and the healing service in ta Pinu on sat
