Fun Holidayz
Sorry for the absence of posts. The last three days have been incredibly busy.
From losing badly in a pool tournament (though we did beat the tournament winning team) to having a 10-hour LORD OF THE RINGS marathon (i can still watch it again!!), its been quite fun the last few days. Next up on the menu: Food drive and the ski trip to Jasper.
Everything seems set for the food drive so insha Allah it should go off without a hitch. My only concern is our total lack of knowledge on the main variable: number of volunteers. Hopefully, not too many nor too few decide to show up.
The ski trip seems to be shaping up quite well. I was a little hesitant about it after finding out that not too many people had signed up for it. But there seems to be a reasonable number of people now.
I spent almost the whole weekend at al-rashid and masha Allah that mosque is buzzing with excitement. It always feels like a big event is taking place, even though it might not be. That is the way a mosque should be. It should be just a place of worship but rather a centre of social activity. We can really take some serious lessons to improve things in the south side.
