Relief
After feeling out of place for a couple of days, then feeling okay for a while, and then missing our new wwoof friends and all the emotions of a new place we finally have something else to relate. Today some new wwoofers arrivano, they are a family of four from Vienna. Carlo, Julia, mila, and Arian. Without revealing too much and compromising their identity, it is safe to say that they are a family, the two latter names are a boy and girl of six and two years of age. They arrived this evening around six, while Zabeth and I were walking to the beach. They are supposed to stay mere for two months before starting new jobs in September, but it seems they are having the same feelings on their first night that we had. Fr instance, they asked what time dinner began, where the bathroom was, and if the showers were hot. N they are not was the answer. It of course can be tough to get used to as we experienced. Bt it seems that nothing makes you feel more welcome than new guests. Zabeth and I talked about knowing how they felt, and making them feel god while at the same time being honest about what life is like around here. I think Zabeth and I are figuring out that it's not too hard, but it's different.

DeleteFaceTime me on Friday or saturdays I wil most likely be home where I have wifi. FaceTime only works if you have wifi, at work I don't have wifi. I haven't been avoiding at all, I check your blog 1 or 2 times a day since this Sherwin store is sooo slow I am on my phone alot. Haven't been promoted and I'm still in Sierra vista. However there is a PR job I applied for at that hospital I had the internship at in the town my mom lives in. So hopefully I will get an interview!
ReplyDeleteYou would be proud Zabeth!!.....I have gone through all of my belongings and rooms filled with boxes at the double wide and now everything I own has a spot for it in my house! I had a yard sale last weekend and am going to have 2 more during the next 2 weekends and then Im donating all I don't sell.
Will is doing forest service but hasn't gone out on a fire yet because he is goin to be a crew boss this year so he has another week of training for it in may. Right now he's working for a paint contractor here in Sierra vista
