New school, new life, new blog :)

Well, as my life has lately been going into many changes, why not to start a blog! Yeah, I'm attending a new school now; I have new friends, new classes, new schedules: big changes! It's hard to move to a new school in the second semester, but God's been so good with me and I must say I'm having a great time! I'm in the best place I could have ever imagined being...
Fountainview Academy is between the mountains of BC, Canada. It's at about 20 minutes from the closest town (yeah, I know, we are in the middle of nowhere). The weather is dry, but you can see lots of trees, especially pine trees! I love waking up every morning and looking outside of the window; the view of the mountains, the river, and the fields ready to be sown just make my day!
What I love the most here is when I get to work farm, especially now that the days are getting warmer! Depending on the day, I could work in the orchards, weeding, working in the sawmill making wood chips, raking grass, digging, or doing landscape! Sometimes I get to drive tractors or the backhoe and I really like that.
The other thing that I really enjoy is orchestra-choir practice. Every day we have 50 min when we altogether practice the songs for the concerts. I play the harp most of the time and just love playing hymns and listening to the choir singing! It's something that I look forward every day because for me it's the most relaxing part of the day after working really hard outside and having classes.
Yeah, as I said we give concerts. Some students work in the music office and they come out with beautiful arrangements of hymns that we practice with the orchestra and choir and we have them ready to perform in concerts. We love praising God's name through the music and we want to share with others how good and what a blessing it is to be called children of God! And also the best news of all: He is coming soon to take us Home!
