Well life here in the US is getting pretty busy!!
Now that its way past summer and we can do all our service/studying projects cause we have time to, our whole week is FULL to the top of things...
The Schedule is;
Monday (Day off 1) - Sleeeeeep in, Volunteering at the local Retirement village (playing games/socializing with the residents), Some of the girls are Helping with a Junior youth group (This is like a class for ages from 12-14 about whats right from wrong, different service projects the kids come up with they think the community needs and so on), And my Best friend Ciara's Choir (which started tonight!! And i am a Soprano!), and then just chillin with everyone at home.
Tuesday (Day off 2) - Sleeeeeeep in, we have the day to ourselves really...We go on our weekly outing and usually get something to eat together and trip to Walmart of course!, Then Step Dance (which im not doing, i did the first one but i really could not get it compared to everyone else..plus i need one day where im not committed to something), Then Glee night at Mark and Renu's! :)
Wednesday - Back to work, Ruhi/Study circle 1 (this is kind of like the junior youth group but for Youth and adults there is 8 of them atm, but more are being made plus they are welcome for anyone to come along.
Thursday - Work, Deepening on the Katab-i-Aqdus (The Most Holy Book, this is like the Bahai Bible haha) at Jim and Jeannine's who are the Green Acre Admin's...So our boss! :)
Friday - Work, Then either Volunteer at the Cafe or Close (clean all the bathrooms and cleaning windows and vacuuming the main building where the guests have the programs)
Saturday - Same as Friday.
Sunday - Work which involves Turn over, All the guest leave Sunday. Check out is at 2 but sometimes it is much more helpful if they leave their rooms before breakfast, that way we can get more done sooner. Its usually better when we have lots of guests. Like last week we had 90 guests which felt like summer again. But we only have 9 Volunteers... So it was a hard day! But its Service!! :D
So thats my life atm! Pretty crazy! But so much fun! I love every single minute of it! I really recommend to everyone that can to take a year off or 3 months or 6 months or whatever just to serve. If you are religious or not, its such a good way to find yourself, make friends for a lifetime! I really am the happiest i have ever been being here!
Oh and btw, i think i figured out what i want to do with myself when i get back home to Ozzieland! Im pretty sure i want to do event planning. The one thing i do here that i love so very much is planning outings and hang outs! even when it doesn't work out i still love it! and i never give up. I really think its something i could do! :)
Anyways its almost 2am!
So i should really get some sleep...Well it is a day off tomorrow so i get my sleep in. But we are going out at 1 to go to target and out to eat which im HELLA excited for. Though Alex isn't here, he is off back home for a docters appointment so its not the same without him here. but we are still having just as much fun ;)
Well Goodnight Y'all!
Love lots! xoxo
