So eventually I had a good Sunday! The First Welcome job made me have to move on from the old memories. I did this job before to welcome adults but this time I have to welcome young people particularly from Scandinavia. This job is really fit for me on Sunday to made me to be able to welcome new young people, and not to cling to my old friends. The other good thing is, I work with the working team as well so I can do a tricky thing to get the job that I wanted so much. Three months in Taize on summer 2008 I experienced the job in all places in Taize except one; OLINDA, a place for the kids. So from the working team, I know where the rendezvous for Olinda Work Team. I came there and eventually I've got a place as an animator for the 6-8 years old kids! Yeay!
Today is such a great day to start the week. The big group of Olinda is coordinated with an English girl (I love English accent!) and the small group of English speaker contains 4 kids; 3 English kids and 1 Czech kid. It's a pity that we don't have Czech animator, but hey language isn't a barrier to communicate. Eventually it worked out with my only one Czech word that I know (dobře). Also there's one Dutch boy who is very shy but quite talkative on one-on-one, so I just tease him and carry him all around the field. Special tribute to Pedro Sandoval from El Salvador, I taught this small group how to sing and dance the infamous Taize song of 2008, Maquentuetuetama.
The bible introduction and the small sharing group in the afternoon is even more wonderful. I came to Point M by my self and a bit afraid if I get a not nice small sharing group, such as with teenagers. But apparently the brother divide the big group according to age, so I get a group of older than 25 years old (which is this age group doesn't suppose to work ;p). And I love my group already! They're mature and deep thinkers, so we had serious discussion on heavy topic. We just started the discussion with one question from the paper and our discussion just goes with the flow.
