As we have been learning about rhyming words these past 2 weeks this conversation ensued...
"What is a word that rhymes with cart?"
"Part, mart, smart"
"Fart"
Resounding in a series a loud obnoxious noises. You catch the drift.

Week Four
I noticed that it has bean a little while since I have posted anything. School has been busier then what I remember it being last year. There have also been lots of different fun things that I have done over the last month and I guess that I have not told you about it. I thought that I would tell you through pictures.
I went to Bali for a wedding the weekend after we started school. It was a pretty small wedding but a lot of fun. Most of my friends were there, it was nice to catch up from the summer. when we were at the beach we always to Ray the chair man. I finally got a picture with him.
Brittany's friend Jess was in town. We took her up to Punchuk because we thought that we were going to go paragliding but it was booked out so we did not go. We had a beautiful drive up though.
Oh... I also have some students that you have not seen yet. I have 16 students. I am working on loving them everyday. They are not like last year which is okay, and that is why I am spreading the love.
On Tuesday I go and teach English in a village in Bogor. Bogor is about 20 minutes away to help to put things into perspective. We sing songs and dances to help them with their words. The children call us "Ka Leanne" which means 'older sister'. The kids are really cute and need some love and English which is what we give them.
I was feeling a little bit windy today but I figured that I should catch ya'll up on what is going on. Another great thing. We now have a hammock in the backyard. It has been one of my favorite places to go and sit. More to come, hopefully more frequently.

First Day of School
Today was the first day of school. I have 17 students this year. 11 girls and 6 boys. It was great to be back in the classroom. My students have larger personalities than last year which means more fun. Right? I do not have pictures loaded yet they will be here soon.
In other news: When I got home from my trip this is what the ceiling in the bathroom looked liked.Before we left for holiday I had mentioned that it was caving in slightly and they took action. They also took our oven away today because it is leaking so they figured that it would be better to transport it back to school to work on it.
In other other news: I started volunteering in a village in Bogor where we will be giving language lessons. We sang the hokey pokey and the 12 months of the year song. The children liked my dance moves. I am excited to have this oppurtunity to minister to kids in a different way. I am still waiting for pictures to upload from this event as well.
Picures are taking too long to load. I am tired. You can see them later.

Blue Mountains and The Great Barrier Reef
Great Barrier Reef Action:
Yes that is right I have swam (or would it be swum?) in the Great Barrier Reef. I saw turtles, octopus, whales, and dolphins. It was a snorkeling trip that turned into a whale watching excursion as well. Have you noticed that Australians add great to the beginning of their places, Great Ocean Road, Great Barrier Reef? Why is that? We have the Grand Canyon but we do not call it the Great Grand Canyon. Something to mull over as you look at the pictures.
While I was still in Sydney I went up to the Blue Mountains and saw the 3 sisters, and many other beautiful sights. Our trip is almost done. (insert sad face) Tomorrow we leave for Bali, on Monday we go back to Jakarta. I have done some pretty amazing things while I have been here, and seen a lot of God's creation. I love your work, especially your earlier stuff.
