Helloooo!!

I have internet on my laptop now!! Yeyy!! Hopefully I can update more now! Don't worry, I've learnt my lesson... English is spelt without a c in English, and yellow and orange equals bad couolrs for blogging!

I can't remember where I got up to last time, so I'll just overview my past few days! :)

So up until Tuesday I was just cleaning. Helping get all the huts and rooms and stuff read for when people arrive. They started to arrive on Tuesday, and so now there's plenty more people around, and they've started training for whatever they need to train for. I think they're learning how to teach the units of the course we're starting on Sunday.... Foundations.... yeyy... the excitement! :D

So now I'm not really doing very much to be honest. I have been helping cook in the mornings so far this week, but I'm not needed in the afternoons and evenings so I'm just hanging around reading and stuff. I went shopping to Poland yesterday, that was fun! :) We're rather far east, and stuff is cheaper over there, so we just pop over the border to buy some of the food and stuff. The fun bit is understnading the packets.

I guess that's all I have to say for today! I'm really excited about starting Foundations on Sunday whooop! But until something exciting happens.... Tschüss!

Beginings

Hallloooo!!
Ok so the internet is not as accessible as I'd thought, but all the same.... I'm here! :D
I'm having a great time.
Tuesday - travelling... the journey was good, apart from maybe a bit boring, but that was expected really. I didn't really do much else.
Wednesday - Started work. Basically, Derfflinger Hof, where I am, is a site with lots of little huts! There's like a big kitchen and dining room one, and little library and a laundrette. Then there's lots of other huts with about 8 beds... 3 rooms and a bathroom. A few of them are in good condition, but we're cleaning up and making the others fit to live in, for when more people come, to do Foundations. So Yesterday we cleaned one of those out.
Thursday... today!! Today we cleaned all the windows in the dining room... 11 in total... the windows are a bit strange.. they're like double glazed, but the two panes have their own frames, which then screw together.... so really we've clened about 22 windows! But we did that a lot quicker than expected, so then we bottomed the rest of the dining room. This afternoon I've been helping to build a wardrobe, and table. The wardrobe was fun... they kept getting it wrong, and I didn't know how to explain in German how it was meant to fit together, but we got there in the end and it looks good... all that's missing is the clothes rail haha!!
There seems to be a sort of daily routine. We eat breakfast at 9, then 9:30 we have Bible study and prayers. Then 10 we start work. Then about 1-1:30 we eat, and then we nap!! Hahaha!! Although, so far I've just been reading or learning vocab in this time. Then back to work before tea. After tea free time. Last night we played a game... Phase 10, it was good fun! :)
I'm having a great time, I'm glad I can actually be of help. Noone here speaks Englisch, so I'm putting my German to good use. There's a lot of stuff I don't understand, but I get there in the end. My dictionary and bilingual bible are coming in handy!
Right, sorry this has been such a long post, I'll try and make it shorter next time.
Thanks for reading, especially if you made it this far!
