Kia Ora from Capernwray! How you pronounce the Maori greeting is - kiora. I've learned a lot already this past week. How New Zealanders say "dodgy" about a not so upright person and how people from the Netherlands always put chocolate sprinkles that come in a box just special for on top of toast. How Germans say "toast" for a slice of bread with a meal even at dinner and even though it's not toasted. Here in Capernwray, there are 29 students all from various countries. For America, we have two Virginians, two Washingtonians, two Oregonians, an Indianian, and a married couple from Oklahoma. There are quite a lot of Canadians here, mostly from B.C. or Alberta. We also have 2 or 3 Kiwis and 2 girls from the Netherlands. Then we have 5 Germans as well. Plus an Austrian. Yes, we are a diverse group but all of us are here to learn more about God.
For our schedule, we have 4 meals a day: Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch, and Dinner. Lectures are in the morning and then we have free time to study in the afternoons. Assignments are due every week. Right now I'm trying to put a 45 minute Bible study together. Yes, that long!
Yesterday, we went on a hike to a gorge - I forgot the name. It was an old mining camp and so they had the tracks laid out and mining shafts to explore where glow worms hung from the ceiling. What surprised me was how tiny they were. Just little specks of fluorescent green!
