Some Other Projects

My friend Dorla has taught me how to do beadwork and is helping me make a fancy dance Regalia. We went to a Pow-wow last weekend to get some ideas for the design. After observing the dancers I've decided on a dragonfly since dragonflys are dancing insects. Here are some pictures from the Pow-wow:


















I made another friend who invited me to a social night at her church. Her friends and I got into an amazing conversation about the Bible. That discussion showed me how little I know about it, so I am now determined to study it regularly because I could tell they were open to hearing about Baha'u'llah if I could have showed them quotes in the Bible to back up my claims. I'm using Thief in the Night and a compilation on Archive to help me.

I'm improving my guitar skills because the children often ask me to play. I'm learning the songs in book three, and the children are making up their own songs about Baha'u'llah and virtues. I recorded some of them. I attached them as 'Song by Children' on my Multiply website at http://hannahxhannah.multiply.com/

Core Activities Update

I'm torn about how to write on this blog. I would like to tell stories about things that happen and people I meet, but I think it might be backbiting if I talk about specific people - even if it is good things. I'm sorry if it is not going to be as interesting.

I'm slowly creating friendships with the parents of the children that visit me at my house daily. I think we are at a comfort level now where some of the parents would be open to having classes in their own homes instead of mine. The assembly has brought up the concern that I am with the children alone at my house which isn't safe for them or for me, so having classes at the children's homes is crutial.

As for Ruhi, Everyone in the Baha'i community is at different points in the Ruhi sequence. It isn't possible at this time to have regular meetings to do Ruhi together because of schedule conflicts, so I will be visiting everyone individually until we work out a way to do it together. We have met twice on Wednesdays for a book one with seekers (six people all together). I'll keep you updated on how that goes.

Breezes of Confirmation is in! There are six jr. youth girls that have expressed interest in it. I'm going to ask them if they would be interested in learning a step dance too.
