This is a quote from an e-mail we received from a Member of Parliament earlier today....so encouraging!

"Faytene,

Thanks for the great work your group is doing. You need to know that your presence here on the Hill did have a huge impact on MPs - some of whom were unsure of where young people of Canada stood on this issue.

Your thoughtful, caring presentation was a welcome addition in helping us speak up for Canada's Youth!!

I will be praying that many MPs who might have otherwise voted to disregard this important issue -- will now reconsider their postion and vote to allow full and open debate -- taking into consideration the rights of children...."

I get your weekly or sometimes daily e-mails on what is going on in our nation, thank-you for that. But last week or so I got an e-mail titled "Get equipped in Vancouver" I thought "hey I live in Vancouver!" So last weekend two of my friends and I (because my mom wouldn't let me travel on the skytrain alone) went to Navigating the faith/political interface. Wow it was amazing, the knowledge and insight I received there. Thank-you so much for informing me about it. Sure I was the youngest person there (very scary), but wow, I can't say enough... it was the best weekend of my life. In the middle of one of the sessions (maybe 6hrs into the 11 that we were in sessions for) my friend Jen turned to me and said, "Alicia, we can change Canada." and it's true. Thank-you for helping us in that effort.
