"If my heart was a house, you'd be home..."
wow.
Did I ever tell you how good my God is?? ...cuz, in all honesty, I don't know what I'd do w/out Him <3 id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol. never seem to escape that one, eh? but it was super good. like, for the bike-trips, *I* got to be the one who carried the 1st-aid kit (probably cuz I was the only one who knew how to use it ;)! but seriously, so many kids got hurt (by falling off, running into others, etc) that we were using that kit 24-7! it was pretty amazing... oh! and I also got to see my first "Eclipse" - which, although it wasn't the full-effect, it was SUPER COOL and the kids were really excited! It was neat to see something that I will probably never get the opportunity to see again :) Ok, so that was a really, REALLY brief overview of week 3. Week 4 was totally, absolutely, positively, and most assuredly FANTABULISTIC!! we worked with the aboriginal kids from the school again (the kids from week 2). This time we had more of a lesson-plan (which I always love!). I worked with the 2-4 graders for the first 3 days - taught them the whole alphabet! The little kids, although their energy level is super high, are really adorable! They've never had a foreigner over to their school before, so they cling on to ever word that I said. The older kids were just as cool. they loved showing me their music and showing me some "Asian dances"... SO COOL! lol. they were so cute, trying to act all gangsta and such <3 id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">haha.... and some of their questions... wow ;)

She lifts her eyes to the North...
wow. how much can a person write w/ a computer that is 1/2 totally broken??
lol. well, lets just say that GOD is AMAZING!!
and I'm learning a lot... as I always seem to on these "trips" ;)
Ok, so the first week of "camp" was super intense - it seemed like every time something went right, something (or someone) would go totally **caplush**
We brought 20 kids out to the country (from Taipei to Hualian) and kept them going (and going, and going...) all week long with TONS of various experiences. I didn't do too much (as far as being the "MAIN-TEACHER"), but it was still super nice just being able to help out and have fun w/ the kids! If you are interested in seeing some pics (and seeing what we did), you'll have to check out my picasa (link is on the right of your screen)! ;)
Anywho, that was week one.
Week 2 was more chillaxed. The "ABC's" (Alex/Benji/Camille) taught (as well as stayed-at) an aboriginal school, where we taught/hung out w/ the kids every afternoon. the kids at that school were (are) super precious and it's super cool going on walks and passing some of their houses and having them wave and call out after us :) Oh, and our house was super sweet... I totally shared my room w/ 5 gecko's - ha! quite the experience, let me tell you! ;)
Week 3 is the same as the 1st week, but w/ a new group of kids. and I've got a lot more "teaching" time... which is what I'm supposed to be doing right now....
