"Your love never fails, it never gives up, never runs out on me..."
This song has been super great in my life lately. Right now it's Sunday around 0931, I have homework to do, laundry to fold, and a staff bonding time to attend. It's still really cold here but it gets super lovely during the day.

there really isn't much to report if you have read my newsletter...but I will try to think of something exciting. Well yesterday we have ministry time and I was on the roster for hanging out with some local kids. A fellow staff member, Glenn, and I were together for this. Well...these local kids...they are 13 year old boys. We played ping pong for alittle bit then they got sick of it and walked away! haha So I went and made some cordial and just left them to be boys! I went and helped out with a girl was watching some little munchkins. Which made me miss Keeg and RQ.

I had pulled off ALL of the crap on my shelf two days ago and just left it on the floor. I organized, cleaned, and put it all back. Our room is super small and there isn't much floor space without my crap on the floor, much less with! Butttt my roommate was a good sport about it!

I will post a few pictures of our Christmas in July party, Canada day, and our messy room! Enjoy and thank you for your support.
love you all.

TAA=Terrrrific, Amusing, Accelerating

Gosh, it's week three that I am here I suppose. Like I said in my previous bloggage we did first aid the first week. Then we started TAA (teaching and assessment) We learned different learning styles, barriers to learning, intelligence's, how to teach a skill, how to assess students, how to set up a class room, how to lead intercession, and how to encourage each other when we want to pull our hair out. So far it's been really good. It's been pretty challenging to organize and write my thoughts. Which if you're reading this I'm sure you can understand how hard this is for me! I tend to need things spelled out for. And I don't fluff things. I say the bare minimum and I think that should be good enough. Which is ironic because I tend to yammer if you're talking to me. So yeah, TAA...fantastic. (No sarcasm, I really do enjoy it) Our leadership training starts next week. Our staff team is going on our "get to know each other so that we can love,encourage, and spend the next 2 years together happily" retreat. I'm super excited. It's almost dinner time so I need to go but I;m really trying to be better at communicating to people back home. So please bare with me. But if you want some specific information PLEASE EMAIL ME.
kbye.
