I am going home to finish collage. It should just take a year and then I will see what I am gonna do. So much I want to do but so little time.

My life here in England is good. Very sunny here and everyone is happy about that. For me life is good. Alex (my boyfriend) is back from his trip. He has been away for over 3 months so it was very good to have him back to England.

I am still working here. I am working now on this big gathering that is gonna be here for 2 weeks and a lot of people are coming. Very busy doing that and will be more busy with time. I have only 5 weeks left here in England, but like most of you know that I don´t get paid for what I do here. It is all voluntary work so if you want to help me out financially please do.. just contact me and I will give you the details.

I hope that everyone who read this are having a good summer and enjoying themselves.

Lots of love, Hanna

Ég sit núna hérna í nýju íbúðinni minni sem er reyndar ekki alveg mín. Þannig er mál með vexti að lítil fjölskylda sem býr hérna (bróðir hans Alexar og kona hans og barn) fóru í ferðalag í næstum 3 mánuði og ég fékk að passa húsið þeirra þannig að ég er flutt. Núna er ég sem sagt ein í íbúð sem nokkuð skrýið en rosa gott. Rosa sæt og lítil íbúð, er alveg að fíla hana.

Lífið mitt hérna úti er nú búið að vera rosa busy. Ég er búin að vera kenna alveg rosa margar kennslustundir allar um fóstureyðingu, sjálfsmorð og svo um fordóma þannig að þetta voru mjög tilfinningaríkar og góðar kennslustundir og gaman að heyra hvað krökkunum fannst um allt þetta. Ég elska að kenna krökkunum hérna úti!

Eva Kristín (litla) frænka mín er hérna úti hjá mér og er búin að vera í 2 vikur. Rosa gaman að hafa hana hérna.

En jæja, ég veit að ég sökka að blogga en ég reyni þó hehehehe!!

Gleðilegan Jónsmessudag… or something…

Af mér er allt gott að frétta. Ég er búin að vera ótrúlega upptekin undanfarna daga. Vinna í skólum, Fish tank (sem er svona eftir skóla dæmi), vinna í Vineyard sem er kirkja í St. Albans sem ég er í og svo að vinna við margt annað sem þarf að gera hérna á Ovalnum. Í Vineyard hef ég verið að byrja með stepluhóp sem er mjög gaman. Stelpur frá 11 ára til 18 ára. Einning er ég í hóp sem hittist einu sinni í viku og tala saman um lífið.
Þannig að mjög mikið að gera hjá mér. Kem heim for good í ágúst, þannig að hlakka til að koma heim en það verður erfitt að segja bless við alla hérna. Búin að eignast svo góða og solid vini hérna. En þegar Guð lokar einum dyrum opnar hann aðrar og það er það sem ég verð að muna.

I have been thinking a lot about our feelings and religion. I met a Hare Krishna the other day and really enjoyed listening to his values and about is faith. What gives him the passion to belive all these things and what gives me the passion to belive my God?
I like meeting people that have diffrent ideas than me about life. I love talking to them and try to see the world with their eyes. I have been thinking a lot about living in a place like I live in. Why do I live here? I want to be a part of the world and I want to see my God in people and I want to show and tell other people about my God but how can I do that when I live in a bubble place. Don´t get me wrong I love this place and I love how everything is here…but I just stuggle with this bubble. Sometimes I really need to go out from it and see other people. I sometimes feel like I am in a relationship and get sick of the other person and I need to get away from “him”. Then I come back and I really see how much I love “him” but it is like I have to learn to live with “him”. Live with “him” and try to take that person out with me. I hope you all understand what I am talking about if you don´t then please ask me or remain silent and just pretend that you know what I mean.

Today I was in a meeting, that in itself is no news, but in the meeting we started talking about breast milk…(really interesting subject…I will tell you my idea about that later) and then we talked about heven and all that jazz. I asked them if they belived that animals go to heaven?..(for you all that know me really well, you know how much I love animals so this is something I have been thinking about). Most of the people in the meeting said that they don´t belive that animals go to heaven.
I always get that answer when I ask people about this, but I am not convinced. I asked them why they don´t think that these creatures go up to the holy place. Of course they said: Because they don´t have soul. But this is what I struggle with…What is a soul?
Some say that it is our feelings and others say it is our spirit, but what is a spirt without feelings and what are feelings without spirit?
I have a cat and as some of you know she is really close to me. I really belive that she has feelings. She feels sad and she is happy. She gets jealous and she feels loved. So, I know that she has feelings, but does that mean she has a soul?
I believe that she is a strong character because she is not like other cats I know, but does that mean that she has a soul?
I know that some of you think…Hanna(h), come on now you are being stupid…and maybe I am but I really don´t care.
This is just something I have been thinking and talking about with people, all of these things I have no answers for yet and maybe I will never have them.

…but apart from a bubble, life, breast milk, animals and souls I belive that we are here to do something to make this world better, in so many ways…still trying to figure out what I want to do in the future but hopefully someday I will know…deep down in my…soul??

I have been thinking about what means the most in life. Something like having my niece say that to me and just hug me is something that I think is so special. I would not trade that for anything. Coming back home to Iceland I have seen what is special and important in my life. The people that I love and care about, the family and the friends I have. The relationship that we make in life. The people that we influence and the people that influence us. I am so dramatic it is not even funny..hehehehe…but hey thats me!

I don´t know if I am making any sense at all. I have just been thinking and finding more who I am and where I come from. The land that I am from is just amazing. I know that I am always saying that and always saying that Iceland is THE best. But in how many countries do people go in freezing cold wether to a swimming pool (outside but warm) and it is snowing meanwhile. Yes, I did that with my dear friends Beta and María. It was so nice and crazy.

I love my people and my country! It is snowing now but after an hour it probably will be sunny and all the snow will be gone…you never know!

Anyway, have to go to the airplane and go to England! My second home!

Þið skilduð þetta elskurnar mínar!
