The last week of training

Well we just left the WBC, we then start driving to Leeds from London and I fell asleep, I then wake up 2 hours later to find out that we're still in London. About an hour to go we start to play eye spy which took everyone about 45 minutes to get what I saw. The week was very good apart from the weather we went down a coal mine which was fun finding out how it has evolved in the mines. We then had a look around a place called east end park which was rough but eye opening too. The next day Johny came up to do some youth work but I was ill so I kissed that, I felt better and got to do some team building games which was fun, we also did a lesson on inter faith which got Muslims and Christians to do things together and understand each other which was fun. Then later that night we had a Swedish night going to ikea for dinner dancing playing games which was  a good laugh. I also learnt how to play two new games which I now want as there awesome. Now getting ready to leave and start the new journey in Eston :) 

WBC week

Well last week was really nice got to know everyone better. We learnt about the history of the Christian mission and the salvo army, while we were doing the heritage walk. On one of the days we learnt the Old Testament in a day with actions which was really fun. Learning the different stories making our own actions. Then later on  that say we went rock climbing which was so fun, achy arms afterwards. We also learnt about our identity which was cool Learning more about ourselves, we gave everyone wise words of encouragement too. We went to the national art gallery to see some paintings of Jesus which was cool. On the Sunday we went to hillsong church for our worship, I really enjoyed and liked it I wouldn't  go every Sunday as I would need more intimacy with god. Some of us like it and some of us didn't so it was a divided opinion. So this week I've learnt more about myself and how I will grow strong with god and trying to listen to him more and telling me what he wants me to do. I hope you enjoy this blog :)
