Children's Classes update

Oh and i looove the kids accents!!
They are just so cute!! Today was a little harder, the classes are getting more intense each day, so tomorrow's classes looks quite hard and that probably means the kids arnt going to concentrate that much! and im so tired. and its only been 2 days with them...3 more days, well 2 and a half. But its good, its 5 and ive finished getting things ready for tomorrow so i have half an hour doing nothing, just resting and yeah...


:)

Photosss.

Updateee!

Had my first childrens class today! It was so good! The kids are all really cute and sweet! It was lots of fun, we first went round saying our names and a little about us, and then went into designing folders for the week that they will put in all their stuff that they make. We then talked about Bahaullah (who is the founder of the bahai faith) and what his name means and his different tittles. Then later on we designed a Unity tree, and then played outside, and played on the slip and slide. Today was basically settling in, getting to know each other and having fun. Ill add some photos i took!
So the ages i got are 7 and 8 and 9 and omg i love this little girl Brittany, she follows me and seems to like me, and she is just so cute! :)

Well thats about all. Just wanted to fill you in.
:) Bye!

I met another Aussie yesterday!!! :)
She is from Jeelong, Melbourne and has been living here for 18 months. And she is a Bahai, i met her at our feast last night. it was nice seeing someone from my home land! Though i couldn't quite tell by her accent. IT Wasn't a proper Aussie accent! it was sorta mixed. But she said she could tell i was, from the time she saw me.
So yeah we had feast, my second one here, and the LSA got pizza so they could meet all the volunteers properly which was nice, and it was PRoper american pizza, the kind you have to fold to eat! It was huge!

Hmm so what else, Its Geralds birthday on the 6th so we might be going out for dinner, as in the whole group of us! which would be nice! And im loving the Doc, ive been down there so much lately. I found a little hidden spot which is nice, quite and like nobody around.

umm...So there is alot of volunteers here now. But we are still short. I think there is about 15? but 5 of us are CYP (childrens classes) then like 7 are Food service and the rest facilities! Ill try and get a photo of all of us and put on up!
Oh and My first class is tomorrow, CYP class which im excited for! and kinda really nervous for!

Well thats about all for now!
catchyalata!

Omggggosh

Omgosh! I forgot to write, that the Mozzies here are so much worse then back home!!! They are huge and will bite through anything, and i mean ANYTHING. It looks like i have a huge rash on my legs but its just a bunch of bites (And i was wearing jeans, when they attacked me, Long jeans!)

I hate them!!

And People say its so hot here, but its just like a little humid! Compared to home, its nothing really! hehe

Hey ho!

So life is pretty busy atm. Lots happening and not much time to write, so i apologize.
Sooooo, i've been working in Facilities the past couple of days so i can get trained if they need me at any time. We basically did weeding some turnover (cleaning beds and bathrooms) laundry folding. It was alright, oh and racking! which took forever! but its all good. it was fun, hanging with shelly mostly while i'm working, and becoming good friends with Ciara who is from Colorado springs.

So Yesterday we built Bonnie a mini garden which was nice, got all dirty from having dirt flung on me and we all had sandwiches together and just hung out. Then i hung out with Gerald and CC and Mitch Iman and pretty much everyone til we had out deepening which was focused on the summer coming, and how we should deal with it and what we should do, like sleep which i haven't been doing much of lately, But i plan on sleeping early tonight, which im excited for.

Still on CYP, and now we have 2 more girls with us so its not so boring anymore, we were doing training this morning and will be doing it again when they get back from orientation...

OH, and i think im definatly going to stay here til Febs. There were issues with my VISA, but for me to stay longer i just need to leave the country and my visa will be renewed. Im planning a trip to Chigago already so i can visit the Bahai Temple, and Yeah so its all very exciting.

Im getting more and more busy all the time, so i dont get to write as often as i would like. But just check me out on fb, im always there at some point of the day, even if its for a few minutes. Say hi, and ill reply!

Anyways, thats about it for now...
BYE.

: )

I called Shop home yesterday!!!
(shop, is the youth house) and i was like wow, its home. Green Acre is my home now.
Anddd I said Trash today instead of Rubbish!! Im turning into a American!! :o
Thats all.
:).

Hola!

Omg so i like love Boston!! It reminded me of home alot, Downtown Boston is alot like our Older side of the city, so like the Rocks and all that area. According to Gerald, its alot like a mellower New York.
So yeah, im really starting to love it here. Life is just kinda fantastic. Im not on Food Service anymore, i miss working in the kitchen and everyone in the kitchen, but im excited to be helping with Children's Class's. So not much else happening...
But here are some photos! :)

life.

So its been a little bit...sorry :)

But life here is pretty great! Im starting to really love it. I officially feel settled in and have lots of friends and its almost summer and :)

Umm soo, i went to the grocery store today and it looked just like the store in Zombieland hehe. So we went to Walmart and then got stuff for our trip to Boston Tomorrow!!! Yes, we are going to Boston tomorrow and im very excited!
Umm what else... not much really, oh im going to be training for Childrens classes again this week.

We had our feast last night! (So for people that dont know what a Feast is, its when a bunch of bahai's from an area get together and say prayers and have food and discuss whats been happening from the last feast, its held every 19 days.) And that was really nice. So after the feast we went over to one of the staff members here at Green Acre and had dinner, which mad me a little sad cause the food was Addas Pollo (Rice with lentils and Gormezabzi...ok i dont know how to spell it...which is like a Green Herb stew with beef, which is my most FAVORITE Persian food ever, but it wasn't as good as my mums!) So we all hung out, everyone from our local area (Eliot) and we chatted and hung and chilled and talked and blah! :)

So yeahhh...
Thats about all for now.
Seeeee ya laaaater!

Tests.

Well...

I have just had a very big day...God has certainly set up some very big tests for me.
My roommate, has been sent home, and that was very hard. seeing her leave as well as another youth. but you know, you just have to remember that EVERYthing happens for a reason, not matter how hard and tough the situation.
But we get a new girl tomorrow which is exciting!! From Belivia, her name is Gabriela. Excited to meet her. Oh and i started my training for assisting with Childrens Classes (this is part of the programs that are run here at the camp, so like we get all different ages, and for the young children we have special classes about the bahai faith. Different topics every year.) So that was exciting. And we had a nice work lunch at the beach, but it was so foggy and windy, but it was so beautiful. And i just fell in love with this little town, Downtown Portsmouth!! Its like walking into the olden days, with the brick paths and little houses...ill add some photos soon...not now, im too tired to load them on my laptop. but soon i promise...

Well thats all for now.
ill keep ya updated.
lovelovelove.
