http://mindybradshaw.blogspot.com/2011/05/folk-dance-concert.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2011. May 24, 2011. About a month ago we all got tickets to go see a folk dance concert on May 20th. We weren't really sure what to expect but our coordinators told us it would be really neat. Well the concert hall was HUGE and so many people were there! We got in and found our seats and then the show began. There was dancing and singing and an orchestra playing. It was absolutely beautiful! The people were so talented. Here are some pictures from the show =). Jennie and Dalin Nelson.

Sunday, February 27, 2011. Lavra: A Day In A Monastery. February 27, 2011. This week was a pretty stressful one for me. I was super nervous because of 3 things: 1. I was teaching Kitchen and Games for the first time 2. The parents were going to be watching. That was a nice change for some of the rowdy kids. I even was able to make pudding and not mess up thanks to the help of Natalie and her amazing 'whisking' skills. The kids even enjoyed the crafts! They kept saying 'one more crocodile, more swamp!

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. I Love to See the Temple. May 24 2011- Since we are heading home soon we decided that we wanted to go to the temple one last time before we came back to America.

He is a really cool guy! H e talked about how to get the temple inside of us. 1 Pray with temple words. Built in the USSR region!

Thursday, May 26, 2011. Saturday was such a great day! It started off with all of our group and Kayla's group meeting up and heading to a BBQ/ talent show our coordinators put together for us. We were out in the woods right next to a little lake and it was absolutely beautiful. The food included hot dogs, chips, and fruit, what could be better? While we were eating I kept feeling like we were camping and that I needed to be setting up a tent! Kayla's group did handstands and a little dance! They also gav...

ILP: Farewell Munchkins
http://mindybradshaw.blogspot.com/2011/06/farewell-munchkins.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Every day they would come in and. Say teacher do we get our zebra today? And the words to the music. I thought it was hard keeping kids attention when we were teaching them English, but I was so wrong! It is so much harder teaching them to dance and sing in English! Their motivation barely lasted more than 15 minutes. So after a few days of struggling with them. Kids who you have come so close to that you feel like they are forever a part of your life? Won’t ever remember you?

Thursday, May 26, 2011. I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane. May 26, 2011. There is a song called I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane by Chantal Kreviazuk and a few of the lines really describe how I've been feeling lately. No matter how many times I listen to this song it pulls at my heart every time:. All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. Already I'm so lonesome I could die. Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane. I don't know when I'll be back again. Every place I go, I think of you. Every song I sing, I sing for you.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Thank goodness I had. Jennii right there with me because she kept me positive and energetic =) Teaching in the morning was actually a lot of fun! The kids were fun and silly and there was only half as many of the kids we have in the afternoon so it was super nice. We got done teaching the morning half and had a few hours to eat and get ready for round two. Somehow I made it through the next 4 hours of teaching. not sure how I did that without falling asleep but I did! Ameri We al...
