Oktober???

It's Oktober? Say whaaaaaaaaat??? :) Yes, welcome to the very COLD month of October! It has been cold all month! And we're only nearly 24 hours into it, and Brrrr!

Today was my very first KidzArk event with the children's ministry that I am helping out with. It was loads of fun! The kids pretty much only speak Dutch, and I know how to say "What is your name? My name is Alicia. Do you speak English? I only speak English! That is pretty! Good job!" So... needless to say, I didn't converse a lot with the kids. I smiled a lot, and laughed when the kids were laughing- they give good clues as to when they are enjoying stuff or not, so it was fun! I helped in a Human Video and with Mosiac Tiles for the craft "club" time- that was fun too.

The best part was working with some Master's Commission students. I met 3 of them- there are 6 at one of the churches near the church where we met at for KidzArk- and 3 of them helped out today, as well as other students in a similar program. They spoke great English so we had fun talking and working together, and it was their first time helping out too, so I didn't feel like the sole total stranger to the whole process!

Then afterwards I went to a friends house and some other friends came over and we had Chinese food, and it was GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! I could have eaten MUCH more, haha! Geweldig ;)

I get tomorrow morning/afternoon off, so I am very excited to "chill" for awhile, it's nice to have breaks now and again :)
