This post is going out to Lauren, who reminded us that it has been a little bit since we last posted anything. Reasons for this is because there hasn't been anything too crazy this week. We have started to get into the swing of things a bit and each day we are feeling more comfortable with things. Last week we had a speaker from Ireland who spoke about the cross and this week we had a lady from England who spoke about identity. The first speaker made us think about how we view others and that we should never judge people. A quote that he said that we like was, "Be kind to everyone, for each person is fighting a great battle." This week on identity has been great, let us just say that we have a better handle on who we are and why we are so weird, haha. We just found out that on February 11 we are going to Tollymore forest where CS Lewis got his inspiration to write Narnia, so we will spend the day there and have a BBQ! A bunch of us are also looking into going to Dublin for St. Patrick's day, how cool is that? The group here is fun and when we aren't doing stuff for school we just hangout, play games, go to the pub down the road (which is really nice and has a lovely fireplace.) Tonight we have celebrity dress up night, we aren't sure who we are going to be yet, someone else picks the celebrity and outfit, so we will see. Well until we write again. Hope you all are doing well and we look forward to hearing from you.

Getting Into The Swing Of Things
