It's been a week, I wanted to post a few days ago, but I was pretty busy. Since getting back from Sweden we have had our official classes. This last week we had Gayle and Bill Clark from Miracle Meadows School in West Virginia come and teach. They taught about active listening, being assertive when being pressed to do things morally wrong, conflict management, knowing God's will for our lives, how to have a balanced life, the power of thinking, and the four temperaments. I really enjoyed their classes. They would teach us about some of these and then we had to demonstrate how to use them effectively whether it be conflict management or how to be assertive. I worked in the greenhouses here at EBS with tomatoes and cucumbers. Getting the plants ready to plant, by putting stabilizing sticks with the plant and fastening them to it with a small ring, I did that for four hours straight a couple of days. I did some other stuff like hanging plastic twine to the tomato plants so they could grow up straight, supposedly they will get eight or ten feet tall, so they have to be stabilized that way. We found that there was a ping-pong table in the guys dorm, so it has been getting utilized. I got slaughtered by a Swedish guy, like 5-21, bad news. I have been staying busy going to classes meals, work, chores, and then getting back to the dorm at about 7:30 or 8:00, and I've been trying to keep up my own personal log of everything, a bit more detailed than this blog unfortunately, it would take forever to type! This weekend I ended up staying up till midnight or later and waking up at five, I'm kinda tired. On Sabbath a few of us took a walk and I thought I'd have a quick nap... |
