Quick update!

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lack of news lately.....life's been great - but really busy too!

It's a month ago now when we had the baptism service at church! What a fab evening - and so cool to see so many being baptised, including several young people! Awesome!

Work's great - but busy too! Loads of things to organise....and tomorrow we're off to Soul Survivor (until Monday!). Would value prayer - as the only camping I've ever done before, was a night in the garden about two weeks' ago - in a tent which I bought for £8 in Tesco!! I might even post a pic on here if I get a chance today!

Last week was cool - met up with friends in Ipswich and went to an African evening. A friend who I hadn't seen for ages is off to work in Kampala (Uganda) - so I got to take part in a South African 'gum boot dance' and eat lots of amazing food! I tried billtong for the first time (speciality dried meat from SA) - and even ate some ostrich! I was a brave girly!! - and it tasted ok too! I also watched a DVD of Uganda....and slightly wished I was going too......

Sunday was the first of our 'Summer Special' services - and I was asked to do the whole meeting! A first for me (speaking in main church) - and an amusing morning!

Yesterday I met John & Bron for lunch at Heathrow (en-route from Rwanda to NZ) - it was great to see them and catch up on all the news, and hear what's been happening in Rwanda!

Tomorrow, 21 of us are heading to Soul Survivor!!!! I'm sure it'll be a fantastic few days..... We're back next Monday - so you might get some more news then!

Have a great week everyone!
