awsome!

Now we've had our first week with the new assembly. It have been going really well and we're so enjoying it. I'm doing more in front of the screen than ever, and it feels good! In the intro part I'm playing a sneering singer diva and in the drama I play a hysterical producer for a talk show. Love it! Lea also does a dance to my music and Sam's voice over for the reflection, and today the kids clapped for her after it. I think all of us are loving this assembly.

I stayed at work last night and worked really hard on the website, so soon you'll see the changes on the website Act 4.

Thank you all of you who reads this blog and for your support!

hugs from the office

back to work...

...and back in town. Last night Joe and Lea picked me up at the airport of Stansted and because my flight was delayed, a bit more than a hour, so now the three of us are a bit tired. I've just finnished the music for a reflection that Lea is going to dance to in the new assembly. The new one's theme is easter, probably the Chritian's most important time of the year.

Overall it seems like we all had a nice half term and now it's time to work again. Sam just arrived, back to duty.

Love from the office

traveling all the time

The feeling in the office is relaxed and pleasent. Lea is now playing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 and I just enjoy the familiar tune when I send away an email to Sam saying: Done! Linnea. It feels completely wonderful to know that half term is so close, because tomorrow, Lea and I, are going to Sweden! Wiieeeee! I'm going home! It feels so wierd and wonderful at the same time, and I'm really excited. Just hope I dont wind up myself to much.

I came home yesterday from Wall-under-haywood, Shropshire, the Frankel's new place. Lovely nature, green hills and a lot of sheeps. We had our two first assemblies in Shropshire, me and Sam. In the first the projector broke down and ruined the assembly. The second was on tuesday afternoon and the weather was lovely, the birds sang nice melodies and the assembly went great! I also went and saw a play in Shrewsbury, Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen. Really cool! So tomorrow, tomorrow it's time to go away again, and I just have enough time to do the laundry. Oh! You know what! I accidently put my black load of laundry on 60 degrees of C. Oops! But...whatever, that just makes it easier to fit everything in one bag.

Have a nice halfterm!

wishes the Act 4 office.

a new adventure

I'm sitting in the office and we've just been handed the new assembly. We've read through it and now every one of us is sitting with our new assignement. Except me, then. My job, normally is to work with the music and soundtracks for the assemblies, but I see my self finding it hard to work as usual. Off course this has a reason. Sam was here. Yesterday, actually, and tomorrow I'll be following his example and move up to Shropshire (an other part of England, close to Wales) for a while. Just a few days, but more or less he took a lot of equipment and things with him. So now I'm sitting at Lea's PC instead of my dear, dear miniMac. He took the keyboard, the interface, computer, wires, microphones, everything! So I find it a bit hard to work on music right now.

Alright. I'm going up to Shropshire to do three things, I think. First of all, I'm doing two assemblies in two completely new schools for us, they've never had an assembly from us before, so it has to be awsome. Secondly, I'll work with Sam on new things and a lot of music-related stuff. And third and finally, I think I'm going to babysit a bit. Which I don't mind cause it's lovely kids the Frankel juniors. Sam just called, the mission now is to find a cable, so over and out.

Hear ya!

some thought

So! Three assemblies done and another one tomorrow, the last one before going on TFG's "BIG" conference. For you who don't know what that is, it's a big, evidently, conference with all the TFG volunteers in the UK. We're going to meet people from all around the world, and everybody in the same situation. We've all committed to do one year in service, and I can say that you can have a lot of fun doing this.

Other news is that I might go up north for with Sam for a while, so I'm teaching Lea how to use the sound equipment and then I thought, I need to not forget that even though things seems easy to me, it's not always like that for others.

I watched a program on Internet in Swedish the other day, and it was about these three girls and a famous female comedian plays God. Two of the girls fought because they thought that the other one had a better life. So "God" put them in each other's body and they had to live the other's life. The point was that you shouldn't think that you know everything about an other person, and when they switched they realized that the other one's life wasn't that great all the time. They got insight of the other's life!

I been thinking about this a lot since I saw it. I don't want to forget that there is so many elements in a persons life that makes the person. There's culture, traumas, happy parts, different ways of growing up, studies, work, friends... All these things make an impact on our lives. Don't forget that we have had different lives, but if we try to understand the past, or why a person behave like it does, it can make a nice future.

Peace

New year, new year and new assembly

We started working yesterday and worked until about 7. Felt really pumped with energy after the break and my mood was amazingly good. I had the feeling of that everything annoying in my life were going to be different. So when Sam gave me a new challenge I absolutely didn't see it as something tricky, I felt really excited with this new adventure.

One of the worn out quotes I herd somewhere along the preparation for my volunteer year was: It's not bad, it's different.

Now I've done my part of this soundtrack for the new drama, now it's up to Joe to fit it into the video. Lea is working on some sign that's going to say: Eden Safaris A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity. Then it changes to: Eden Safaris A Shared Opportunity. Take a moment to think about this and hope that this encourage you. And....Take care of Mother Earth will you?

That's all folks!

Happy New Year, wishes the staff at Act 4

A little girl, a move & the last assembly

Today we had our last Christmas assembly and it went soo great. It feels kind of sad that it was our last this year, but we're fully loaded with work with the new assembly and don't have the time to mourn about it. Just breath and keep up the good work!

Behind the scenes info:

I'm working on the music and soundtrack for the new assembly. The song is going to have Sam as the main voice and myself on the choir. Sounds great!

The soundtrack for the new drama is going to be awesome! I don't want to give out to much but I can say that it has a great jingle in it that I've created with help from the library of Logic. Love Logic!

Now it's strange with no Sam in the office. Yesterday was the day he officially had moved. The day that they got the keys to the new house. Last weekend, we, the three volunteers, helped the family to pack stuff into a van and taking care of kids. It was fun but sad. Little cute Rosie slept in my arms and I felt like, I don't know. It's just crazy that a little girl like that can touch your heart<3 like that! Now I need to work on the music again. Have a nice day!

Peace out!
