We have just had one full week here and it has been pretty good. The couple of days that we had for team building was interesting. There isn't too much to say about that, we did things like building a raft, zip line, ropes course, sharing life stories and that kind of stuff. We are getting to know people pretty well already and for the most part they are all normal.
We found out what we will be doing for our local outreach and we both got the same one. We are doing what is called the hangout and we pretty much go around Banbridge on Saturday for a few hours and hangout with teens at coffee shops and get to know them. That will be starting next week and we look forward to it. We also got assigned work duties, Al is in the kitchen four days a week and I am on the hospitality team with two other girls. The hospitality team takes care of the guest speakers, cleaning their room, baking them goodies, making them cards and whatever else we can do to make them feel welcomed.
Yesterday we spent the day at Belfast, which was a lot of fun. We went with our friend Korina and met up with our friend from England. It was a great day, we walked around a lot, had a beer and watched the soccer game. It was the life!
During the week we had an Irish history lesson, we got attacked by birds, I got electrocuted, and all is great! In terms of school schedule, we have to keep weekly journals that will consist of different assignments, we have book reports to do and we will have lectures daily. So all that combined with our local outreach and school duties will keep us pretty busy.
Well we miss you all and will write again later!
