Wow, first post by me!

Hey everyone!

Well, here I am with actually a few minutes to spare to write a post on my blog and tell you all what’s been happening. I’ll try and get a few photos on soon as well. Yay, digital cameras!!

So anyway, what’s been happening over the last two weeks? The week before last it was training and orientation. The first half of the week was telling us about what we’re going to be doing this year in the way of actual paper learning, and we have some lecturers in telling us about random stuff… one guy was basically jsut telling us different games and stories, it was so much fun – we played them! There was also a lot of free time during this bit to pray, get close to God, wander round and get to know others etc. All the people there are being based in different churches round the South West.  We also had worship morning and evening, a few movie nights (we watched ‘Amazing Grace’ it is such a good film!), and other random stuff. Breakfast was at 7.30 each morning, arrrrg it was torture!! After that first half which is called induction, we then went on to ‘Conference’ which is where allt he second and third and however-many year people come along, and we all get training together. There were some interesting lectures!! But it made us all think… some of the stuff we knew already, and it’s so intense, basically lectures all day interspersed by ten minute breaks. And we kept asking questions and stuff, so we usually had five minute breaks!

So yeh, that’s a (very) brief overview of Induction and Conference. Been back in Yeovil now for a week. Not exactly been the busiest week ever, as stuff is still waiting to kick off. Been down to the youth cafe though, which is fun, and have been filming stuff. (go here to see an intro for our team) We’ve also been plannign kids clubs and assemblies, and doing our SWYM work, which includes reading a book, writing a conrerence evaluation, and writing out our testimony – so not too bad!

Anyway, I’m going to go and grab some lunch, so I will say bye for now… please keep praying for me, I really value it, and the messages people have left, and been sending through Mum, it is so encouraging. Thanks everyone!
