I like stage 3 way better than the other two stages. We have been doing a lot of interactive activities like team building and sharing in front of the class. We've only done one minute sharing so far but on thursday we all have to give a ten minute talk and in a couple weeks we have to teach for twenty minutes on one of the healing retreat topics. I haven't decided which one I will do yet... probably an easy one like forgiveness or acceptance and belonging. I'm only a little bit nervous but I'm more excited because I think my comfort zone levels have been gradually stretching over time and I feel more confident to speak to a group of people. 

I'm in a dormitory now instead of a room and there are five of us girls with three empty beds for whenever we have something happening on the weekend and the guests need somewhere to sleep. My roommates are from England, Italy, and Syria. We all get along really well. I have been so blessed to have easy going roommates so far. There are quite a few young people in the new group of stage one folk and I like them a lot. It's going to be a very good next nine weeks I think
