Break Week




New Lodge-the lodge I live in.
This week is what is called break week. It is the week between when summer ends and the school year begins. Coming from several staff, including myself, it is the perfect week to have arrived. Not all of the kids are here, but there are some here. It is a good time to get to learn the names of the staff, kids, and even get a feel for how the days usually are run. A quick run down on how the days have been thus far (just for break week), I am sure the school year is different to some degree. Wake up, wake the students up, and they do morning chores while we get breakfast out for them (waffles, cereal, milk, oranje juice--stuff like that). After breakfast we have a morning activity, today was trash run-yesterday was canceled do to run-Tuesday was paintball-Monday was horses. After morning activity we have open time then lunch. Following lunch is evening activity, work activity, exercise/chill/open time while dinner is being made. Dinner then evening chores. The days have been going by quick, but by the time I am in bed, I am worn out!! Like I said this week is a great week for me to learn the ropes of how Heartlight is run and to get to know the kids that are here. attached are some pictures of the cabins and different things on campus! Please keep praying for the kids, staff, Heartlight, and me as well! The biggest obstacle once fully trained will be balancing grace and discipline!
