So last night I momentarily lost my internet code, so could not write my blog. But it was such an amazing day yesterday that I am writing the blog now!
Sundays we get to sleep in a bit and go to breakfast between 8:30 and 9:30, so that was really nice. And there was nothing going on for the music and worship people, so I had the whole day ahead to relax and get some assignments done. Marit thought that she had the whole day too, but then at ten minutes to ten she found out that her and the outdoor pursuits people were going zorbing, at ten. She was so mad, but got ready in time to go!!!
It was so sad being split up for the day! All of the Music peeps stayed at the base and had a cute little lunch picnic in the field. It was so awesome! The sun actually came out and I could wear a tank-top! Spring is definitely here! The sun is shining, there is less rain, there are pretty wild daisies all over the place, the birds are chirping... So beautiful!
Anyways, the picnic was super cute! We just relaxed and had some guitar, and made some daisy chains, and I taught everyone to do a headstand. It was a pretty productive afternoon, but I didn't get any homework done! Haha, always the procrastinator.
We also found out our Music assignment for the week! We got paired up and drew from a hat a genre of music and a bible story. We have to write a song about the bible verse in that particular genre for the base open mic on thursday. I am super excited! I am paired with Kiwi Hanna! The blondes in the back are reunited! We get to write a rap about Jonah and the whale. It is gonna be so epic, complete with costumes!
Also, on this coming weekend we get to have our first Music and Worship session where we learn stuff. I don't remember the speaker's name, but we will be learning about worship and such things! I am really excited! And we also get to go to Hamilton on Sunday. Hamilton is a 'big city' so we can actually do some real shopping and go to Starbucks! Woohoo!
During the afternoon, I thought that it would be wise to go for a run to burn off some of the carbs that make up my entire diet. It felt so good! And the sun was shining, but the breeze was cool - perfect running weather! And when I was done, I did some yoga outside looking onto the green pastures and rolling hills. It was so serene and magical. I also got up into a headstand all by myself without the aid of a wall! It was SO EXCITING. Because my cousin Jordan and I had this goal that we each would be able to do a headstand by the time I get home! Yayyyyyy
The big exciting story about Zorbing from the other group was that Marit hit Rebeka's knee with her forhead! HAHA. In the giant zorbing balls, you have to take a running dive through a little hole to get inside of the ball which has water on the bottom of it for you to slide around more easily. Rebeka dove in first, and didn't get out of Marit's way in time and her knee collided with Marit's face. She now has a large goose egg on her forehead. Oh Marit... <3
Last night we also learned that from October 1 to 12, we get to attend this thing called Circuit Riders. Josh Cole is having it in Taurunga and invited us to join! It is basically a really intense DTS that is crammed into 2 weeks. It will be very evangalism-focused! We will probably be staying somewhere in Taurunga for those weeks, so that is new and exciting! And there will be about 1 hundred other young adults there too! So exciting!
We also learned about the Outreach locations. Man, I hope that God sends me to India!!! Please pray about this for me!!!
I had a really bad migraine last night before bed. But I haven't had a bad one since I've been here, so I guess it is bound to happen a little bit! But it made me a little loopy and crazy, and then Tennessee Hannah gave me some strong pain killers and I went to beddy-by. And this morning I am so chipper and happy. It is so strange. Those of you who know me well know that I am not a morning person at all, and I generally resemble a zombie in the mornings. I even think about eating other people's brains if they try to talk to me in the morning. But today for some reason I was so happy and energized this morning. I skipped to breakfast. I don't ever skip. What is happening to me!?!?!
Anyways, I'm off to do some work on my CIR and book report!
Until tonight,
Steph
