More on that later.
This past week has been very interesting. Largely we have relaxed! Basically, we have only relaxed. We haven't actually gotten started on our jobs (how could we? we only got assigned today!) so we have spent our time doing the following things:
- shopping! We go grocery shopping at least twice a week it seems, but really more than that. And we have been to the mall four times! In a week and two days! Which is probably how many times I went to the mall the entire summer.
- eating! We eat a lot. A lot. That is why we grocery shop so very much.
- meeting! We meet people all the time, and people are quick to have us over, bring us dinner, take us out...even come over and stay for a very long time. It has been nice! But sometimes it is tiring to have people over foreverrr. But still nice.
- fretting! We worry because there are mice in our house! Also I sometimes have those moments where I go "what am I doing here," etc.
- being excited! About everything! Including: having our car back (only to have it refuse to start, but hey); baking bread; a washing machine and clean clothes at last; a couple of non-rainy days; a super-welcoming church community; badminton rackets and birdies to play with!!
But anyway. We got our assignments today! That is another thing to be excited about. Kyle and Gabby will be working with the NGO, Breakthru Community Action. Tim will be working with the youth. Anna and I will be doing a combination of missions work, children's church, and catering stuff. We don't know for sure what exactly our jobs entail. We do know that we will be working across the board a fair amount in addition to our specific jobs; for instance, we will all end up working with the youth in some capacity. We also know that we will have one day a week of "practical" work, or manual labor. I am actually so excited about that. Manual labor! Yay!
Quick sidenote, not relevant: Also I am uploading my first video evahh on facebook. wooooo!
Glad to hear about the assignments!
