The studies begin...

              First school day!! Early morning...breakfast at 8! It has been a while since I have had to get up that early for breakfast before school haha. The first lecture was at 9 with the speaker Mark Thomas who is the Director of the Capernwray in England! He is doing lectures this week about the Intro to the Bible!! This is the part I was looking forward to....learning more about the facts and chronological order. I seem to only learn things from the Bible if it applies to my life at the time! The second lecture follows after a 10 minute break. It was Mark again continuing on his lesson. Then there was another break and then devotions!! (or Joe, our director, calls it...devotionary). He led it this week but the students have to do it once while here! I am doing it next Thursday =]. The third lecture follows right after and it was Joe Platillero (the Director) talking about the Fundamentals of Prayer!!He gave us wafers with honey to put on it cause he wants the Bible to be 'as sweet as honey for us'! We have these topics until Wednesday and then we start the study of Corinthians and go on 2 prayer walks. I am excited!! We have lunch at 2 and dinner at 7 which is soo weird so I was starving by Lunch time. Yummy!! We have the best food ever here! It was mashed potatoes with special spices, breaded chicken breasts that taste like nuggets, bread that I dip in Olive oil and vinegar (like they do at the Chiantis restaurant =P) and salad! For dessert there was a donut type thing with cinnamon on it and a lemon taste to it. I have been eating sooo much! A lot more than I do at home haha so it is good to gain some weight. Also, all the girls have started going for a run every day during free time so I hope to get dedicated with that and come home in shape =]. I also learned that there are a total of 4 people from Calgary! A guy named Ben who has been traveling around for the past 6 months (crazy!), Melissa..don't know too much about her yet, Laura (who has a sister named Sarah...and I have a sister named Laura haha. She just turned 20) and me!!
So I am such a different person here! I wear sweatpants around which I never do in public haha and I wear less makeup and I slept in braids last night, took them out this morning and left my hair like that! Oh and I let my hair air dry...haha this is all random but this is stuff I never do! I always try hard with my hair. Anyways, God is really transforming me and this atmosphere is so relaxed and comfortable....just like the beds here! Ah it is like a cloud! Haha
