Busy busy!
Monday is my day off so I start the week very calmly and then everything seems to spiral down hill towards Sunday and by the evening I am 100% exhausted! Here are some of the highlights of this week:
Saturday we had an inter-church youth day. We had different workshops during the day and then a worship service in the evening. I led a workshop on ’giving you testimony’. I was a bit nervous because holding the attention of teenagers when your grasp of the language isn’t 100% isn’t easy…but I think it went alright.

Lunch the & the obligitory macdonalds!
Then Sunday morning we had 2 baptisms at the church. Do you remember I told you about my Nigerian friends and their son who were threatened with deportation. Well, they have been given a temporary extension to stay becuase their son is ill. Yesterday the father was one of the men to be baptised.
As you can see, he is a big guy and it was a struggle to get him immersed!
Sunday evening we celebrated the birthday of Miriam, one of the young adults from the church. We had a great time and laughed lots - which was good!
(for those of you who are concerened…only one bottle of champagne is real!)
A game where you have to talk without showing your teeth - stange but hilarious!
