Each day has gotten better with the camp. The kids seem more responsive. I'm still sick though. Jennifer helped me with Culture on Tuesday and I did it today. It seems to be going alright. I'm not very comfortable with that area and the kids are the least responsive during story time and culture time. Recreation has been pretty good. We are realizing how to make things work with each different age group. It's been pretty cool getting to work with Greg. He is more active than I am and I am more organized than he is so we make a good team. I am excited to finish up this week and help start another camp and to move onto China for a few weeks but I am also very sad to be leaving this team. We get 16 new people on Friday who will be working on this next camp. Karissa, Greg, Lynn and Daryl will join us for touring in China. Then we come back and most everyone from our original small team of 10 will be here.

More about our team:

Karissa: is my eating buddy. She doesn't like seafood and she is hesitant about spicy foods. We try and sometimes sit with each other at meals. She has such and kind heart and loving soul it has been great to be around here. She is petite and very cute. All of the Koreans tell her she is pretty because she is skinny and has a small face (apparently all Westerners do). She is working with the youngest group of children and they all just love her.

Jennifer: She is a teacher at a middle school. Another eating buddy of mine. She has the hardest group of kids to deal with, but she does a great job handling them. She is sweet and very encouraging and always has some sort of coffee with her. :)

Katie: is a friend from Olivet. She is very pumped to be teaching her own ESL class. She thinks it may be what she would like to do for the rest of her life. Perhaps.

Matthew: If I could make a book of funny faces he would have a great many pages in it. He teaches Science and Cooking and does alot with technology. He's funny, quite sarcastic and is always a laugh to be around.

Robert: Sadly departs this weekend for Tokyo this weekend. He is a quiet one but a very knowledgeable person as well. He knows a bit of Japanese and his host mother knows some as well. It is pretty fun to watch them converse.

Lynn: She is the craft lady and she rocks! She is very very quiet but very centered and she has some really cool creative ways of keeping the kids involved.

Greg: is my recreation buddy. He has a crazy sense of humor and he calls me "princess." Something about my eating habits and such. I'm not sure why but it has indeed grown on me. He loves the kids and he is absolutely wonderful working with them, especially the "stinkers."


That is all the update I have for today. I need to get ready for bed. Katie and I are going to fall asleep to Mulan 2 (yes, mom, they have movies and they are in English (some) so I feel right at home). We might have dinner with our host family tomorrow and we are going to go to the night market with Sarah and her friend. Sarah is a member of our host family. She is 22 and a very sweet girl. We talk to her most because she generally knows the most english, that is her major at the University.

I'll try to update again before we change host homes but I am unsure of internet availability after Saturday (or your Friday). Love you all.
