Placement #2

Hi Friends!!

So, as of Febuary 8th I am now at my new placement with Familie Fellmann. After the midterm conference the the Intermenno Commity provided for us we all headed to our second placements. It is hard to believe that I have been here in Europe for half a year all ready. Time seems to be flying.
Anyhow, the days spent between our placements with the 12 other Trainnes where very good. It was great to be served once againe. I have been cooking lunch for the past six months, so it was nice to come to a set table and enjoy food that was not made by yourself.
I arrived around lunchtime at my new placement. I have a very small room here compared to the one I had at my first placement, but I guess this is good for getting me used to my room back home againe. I organized my things and played 'Phase Ten' with the kids, but I definitly noticed that they are older and do not approch me the way that the younger children at my first placement did.
By now a week and a half have passed and I have gotten used to my new suroundings, but things are still new and different. I am mostly working in the household and with the kids. Today I vaccumed and mopped the whole house and I cook lunch once again everyday.
The kids love to play ' Phase Ten' so we do that in the afternoons quite often. We have gone tobboganing, but the kids keep telling me that they are sick and tired of the snow. I too am looking forward to the spring.
This coming weekend I am visiting my family in Bechterdissen. This is always really good for me. I get to go to a place where I am not new and where the surroundings are not new.
