Hello again, everyone!
Our lecture this morning finished early, so I have a bit before Alison comes to pick me up for lunch. So here goes - update.

First of all -
I am really excited about Steve and Alison's engagement. I guess it's amazing that he found someone that all nine of the women in his family could get along with, let alone love. It's wonderful to think that my only brother and my good friend will be starting their own family soon. God bless the two of you in your future plans, Steve and Alison!

School -
We just finished the segment on Corporate Law, and started the next segment on Real Estate. Most of it so far is procedures and terms, but soon we will be doing some exercises in real estate. For Corporate Law, the Electronic Accounting class came in, and we incorporated their accounting firms for them. First we interviewed them (which is usually the task of a lawyer, so we won't actually be doing that on the job). Then we prepared all the appropriate documents for incorporation, and then submitted them to the "Registry Office" (in this case, Lola, our teacher). When she has reviewed them all, she will issue Certificates of Incorporation, which we will give to our clients, along with a Statement of Account. That one was neat, because we could relate better to an "actual" case with real clients. I hope we have some interesting exercises in real estate too.

Work -
Alison is now working the same evening shifts as I am at Jack's. She decided to work there too the other day, and was hired without delay. Our boss, Pat, is training the two of us to close up in the evening, which includes making sure there are enough back-ups in the coolers, cleanup, and cashout. I'm still enjoying it. Never having had a job in the food industry, in any public service business, for that matter, it is very different to deal with customers this way. At first I had trouble mastering the till, as it is quite involved, and the plastic cover over the buttons makes it barely legible. After every shift, we split tips from the pool. I have been saving mine up, and I have over $30 already. Any suggestions on what to use it for?

Church -
I am going to St. Albert Canadian Reformed Church right now. Reverend Reuben Bredenhof is the pastor. I really appreciate his preaching, which is always very logical and easy to follow. The young adults group there has made us feel very welcome, inviting us everywhere for visits, Bible study and other events. The discussions we have at Bible study are unlike any I've ever known - serious but fun, and often very in-depth. We have made many new friends there, who I'm sure will be friends for a long time.
