Hey again everyone

Well this past weekend and week have been pretty good for me over here. We had a long weekend with the holiday on monday so it was nice to have an extra day off to relax. Saturday we went to a big craft market that is held at the end of each month. A couple of the vendors there are starting to know me because i have been going for now my fourth month and they are also at the sunday market so it is nice to form a relationship with some of them, although in the end they always want me to buy something so i have started to not bring any money so i can just show them my empty pocket. Sunday for the first time i didnt go to church partly to rest and partly because i had an eye stye so i didnt want to have everyone asking what was wrong with my eye. But it was nice to not have to go anywhere and to just read and reflect. That afternoon we went with one of the staff here as she was looking to rent a new house. She wanted us to come and make sure it was a good place as she hadnt really done it before so Sandra and i agreed.
Monday we went, along with Sindy and Daniel (from berlin) and Karin (from USA) to the House of Martha and had lunch with the staff and then we did crafts with the kids. Sindy and Karin made oragami flowers with the girls and Daniel and I mad Paper Ninja Stars with the boys. And then we also did colouring sheets with the youngest kids. We all really enjoyed our time over there, it was nice to spend a lot of time with the kids. The rest of the week was good i think i was pretty much just around House of Moses. One day i spent most of the day in the nursery which was nice cause i havent done that for a long time.
Today, which is saturday Sindy and I went to a friends house for lunch and spent most of the day there. It was nice to meet with her family and to be able to eat with her and to just spend a lot of time there.
Finally the weather is getting a little warmer and am now able to go without wearing a sweater.
Well hopefully everyone is okay. Talk to you later.
