	Hi, I'm Joanne Esau. I live in Chilliwack, BC on a hobby farm with my mom and dad I became a Christian when I was 6 and have been going to church my whole life. I am quiet natured but not shy. I'm organized and love to be on time. My skills include baking cookies, scrapbooking and swimming. My occupation for the past 2 years has been driving a train at Dinotown. My dream is to be a housewife.
	My name is Geoff. I live in the center of Canada, Landmark, Manitoba. I love the hockey and the snowboarding, the skateboarding and the wakeboarding. I love writing/playing/enjoying music. I'm a wanna-be surfer, but not for long. I make things to put in ear holes. I could stick a needle through your ear. I want to be a local snowboarder in a ski town. I want to go back to Germany for WC 06, I want to be a local surfer in Hawaii. I want to live and love.
	Janelle, Robinson: Maple Ridge, BC Tall, single, dirty-blonde, and gracefully klutzy female seeking TALLER, single God-fearing man with similar interests. Hobbies include: Singing, guitar, canoes, sports, animals, snowboarding, wall climbing, being in nature, dancing, kids, and Napoleon Dynamite. Driving skills: satisfactory. Weakness: being innocently naive and ditzy, and eating too many free orange chocolate fudge samples in Banff. Member of the ghetto dance team and the Sydney Bristow fan club. 100% NON-Mennonite, but fully appreciates the Dyck's, Reimers, Friesens, and perogies (almost) as much as the next dudette. Not used to (but humored by): snow on October 1st, and the lack of mountains in Manitoba. Common nicknames: Janal, J-Nizzle, and Fruitbat.
	Hey! I am from Fresno, CA. I love to run and dance! Salsa dancing is the best! I also absolutely adore cats and dogs! I am from a family of six. Mom & Dad, I love you both: Thank you so much for supporting me here! Shele, Tami, and Michael. I miss you all TONS and look forward to seeing you in December. I have enjoyed these past few months immensly and can't wait to go to Guatemala! Toodles! -Kara Poetker-
	Tabitha Isaac: Saskatoon, SK. I like to sing & dance and pee my pants. I like sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. I have a passion for life and being happy. I do believe in fairies I do, I do. My favorite thing to do is be outside, but it takes me awhile to actually get out there but once I'm out there I LOVE IT! Me & Christine Young have the same deoxyribonucleic acides. Oh and by the way, my life rocks!
	My name is Raeanne. I like eating babies and catching kitties in a small rope snare. I roast them over a Christmas fire after marinating them in the juices of a suckling pig. After the meal, I enjoy a quick frolic through the woods and coming home to a warm kitten skin rug in front of a fire where I sip hot fruit ciders and pet my pretty chanel purse.
	Hello, my name is Nicole (Niki for short). I live on a farm near Roseile,MB. I come from a family of five, two older brothers and one sister in-law. I love to travel, play sports, and nature. This school has been a stretching experience so far. I'm eagerly anticipating our travels to Guatemala next semester. Some of the highlights on this trip have been the canoe trip, Vancouver Inner-city Plunge and those fun service days. One word of advice for you would be, to never eat yellow snow because you would never want to taste the ingredients that it contains.
	Joel Brandt Born & raised in Rosenort MB, small farm town operation. Justin, my older brother, Kevin, lil-one, Rudy and Joanne Brandt all help build the family that I'm in. Girlfriend: Nikki Falk from Niverville MB (she's the best). This first semester has had a ginormous impact on me, its been great. Lovin' it. I revived my passion for guitar, and started to sing which is sorta tough for me, but with the help and encouragement of a select few, things are going pretty good (maybe?). Well, any questions or comments, e-mail me --> joel_980@hotmail.com
	Peter Fehr I was born and raised in Southern Manitoba. Lived the latter half of my life in Hochfed, MB. I have one younger sister Annie, and two younger brothers, Jake and John. My parents are Peter and Elizabeth. My hobbies and interests include cooking, baking, hiking, and nature. God has been working in my life this year already and am hoping to draw even closer to him coming up in the new year while we are in Guatemala. I thank all my friends, family and my home church for all the support, through prayer and finances. And I met my friend Bearenstein in Jasper a couple of weekends ago.
	Hi My name is Laura Taylor, I am from Orillia Ontario. I am not Mennonite, although I wish I was. I go to a Baptist church which I love, and I love everyone there. I have two parents and a younger and older brother. My favorite sport is Rugby, and I love playing the guitar.
	Dear Katie, Hi! I hope that Outtatown is going well! Are you making an effort to be in bed by 8:00pm every night? You've never been able to function on a mere 9 hours of sleep, you know. How are you doing emotionally? I'm sure your soft-spoken and mature personality makes you feel awkward in what is most likely a crazy group, but DO attempt to be more sociable, especially at meals. The key is to SLOW DOWN, enjoy your food, and make conversation. It must have been awful leaving our flat-as-old-pop town of Niverville for the Canadian Rockies, but be assured that the anxiety and claustrophobia of being in the mountains is normal. Try not to look directly at the hills--it helps to close your eyes and imagine the vastness of our picturesque prairies. I was pleased to hear that you've been staying fit by engaging in pilates, jogging, skiing, belly dancing, and some hand-to-hand Sydney Bristow-style combat. In no time you'll shake that "Klutzy Butzy" nickname. Remember to wear your own clothes, especially in moments of intense hilarity. We don't want you to have to explain an "accident" to one of your new friends. So you've been able to visit Banff most weekends? Great! I know it's frustrating that there are so many Australian men that live there, but I know I've taught you how to accept and love others, no matter what colour or creed. You don't have to make conversation with them if you really don't want to. I've enclosed Season 3 of Alias in which Jude Law makes half a dozen guest appearances. I've heard that this season is quite a disappointment in comparison. Be sure to invite your friends to watch the episodes with you, but don't be offended if they refuse. Anyway, I need to go. Thank you for all the letters you've sent me! I can't wait to see you at Christmas. Be a dear and try to join in the holiday festivities this year, ok? Love, Mom. PS. Oma Weins sent some bread. Don't eat it all in one sitting--it's not like it will go bad or anything. ~Janal

It is the coolest place in the entire world because I live there. I used to work at Co-op gas bar. Co-op propane is the propane of choice and I have an inanely amount of stickers (that I stole) that say this and I put them on everything. I like books, and candy and snowboarding, and cute boys.
