Weekend Number Two...

Happy Belated Australia Day everyone! lol. Aussie day was awesome. we got off work 2 hours early and went to the park for kids activities. every year canowindra runs a boring ceremony thing where they give awards to people who are amazing and some well known person gives a speech.... basically the only people who ever turned up were the people receiving awards and old dudes lol. this year however, we got permission to run kids activities to attract families and stuff. it was so much fun! we did facepainting (which i am amazingly talented at :) ) and baloon animal making (fairly good at that) and played games (i didnt get to play any) and a pinata (which i dont know how to spell but its that paper mache thing full of lollies that children hit). the kids loved it and so did we. so good
so exhausted! work is so hard man. and i am so sick of watermellons! im not sure if i already told you or not but now, whenever i close my eyes, i see watermellons! and then the other night i prayed in desperation "God make me let it go!". i then imagined myself dropping the mellons lol. im not sure if thats an overactive imagination or Gods sense of humour shining through. i like to think God was being funny :)
thursday was by far the worst work day so far. it was super duper hot and we had to work an extra hour to start making up for the lost hours on aussie day. i had to work extra hard too coz Tim Wagstaff  was on his first time and got exhausted, so i had to pick half of his coz he kept missing them and then he ended up having to leave coz he was going to pass out. i was also really tired already so the day was just soooo hard. 3/4 of the way through the day Beau looked over at me and was like "wow. Marks gone white" and i stayed completely white until like half an hour after we finished. i got to the stage of stumbling as i walked and vision receding when i stood up too fast lol. i told myself i could do it though and refused to quit. and i made it! so proud of myself lol. and then Phill, coz hes a legend, gave me the next day off! lol. i slept in until 8! so good lol.
work was easier today (saturday) coz it was cooler. itfelt longer though for some reason. it just dragged on and on. i had been praying that God would renew me, physically and spiritually and he must have answered coz i just felt so great all day. even though i was physically tired i felt great. i even found myself encouraging others :) totally unlikely right?! me. encouraging *grin*
we have our first assignment this afternoon. well actually its a practice assignment. its on hospitality. hospitality is really important we have discovered. and our assignment involves preparing a meal and having people over for dinner. our practice tonight is at the park and the food we are having smells soooo good! we are having a green salad, potato salad and a pasta salad thingy. it might not sound good but it looks and smells amazing!! you people reading should be sooo jealous lol.
oh. our Korean student arrived this week. her name is Saerom.  shes pretty cool and its really fun talking to her. we are having fun learning korean words and phrases lol.
we also have two new guys coming. Sam and Ethan. one of them arrives tonight and the other arrives some time next week i assume. i dont know anything about them... i will update peoples about them when i meet them :)
ok i should probably go help in the kitchen a bit... i will write another blog some time later. when i have time. which i dont have much of lol
