Such a sweet gesture from a child this week in kids club who drew a picture of all the helpers and had written our names and 'I like you'... only she didn't quite get the spelling of 'Ruth'. So funny. I should have taken a photo! Had a great time with the kids on Tuesday. A child who came for the first time with his friend a few weeks back turned up on his own, and behaved relatively well and was well into the story. We relived the Last Supper and Jesus saying he would soon be going to his father. The little boy chipped in 'But Jesus died a long time ago!' I'm looking forward to telling him the Easter story and seeing what he thinks about Jesus not being some figure who died a long time ago.
In the Thurs kids group we also had a new little girl which was great.
I got back this afternoon from a sunny church weekend away. It was different being a worker compared to a guest but it was still good. I enjoyed getting to know families and couples who I always say hello to but have never really spoken to properly. The whole thing was quite a relaxed atmosphere, and most of all a family atmosphere. There's normally a kids programme but everyone was together today and it was so cool. We sang an awesome kids song, which the majority of adults joined in with. Highlights were seeing old ladies playing air guitar and seeing German men jumping and clapping. So cool to see everyone laughing and smiling and celebrating together.
It was still really sunny and warm when we got back so I got my shorts on and went down to the park, lay in the sun and went to sleep! It was quite tiring organising little things for the weekend.
My main plan for tomorrow is to get studying. Please pray for me, this project is so hazy and although I've started reading it's the beginning and feels like a big mountain.
Not too long until I've made it through 40 days without Facebook. I still enjoy getting your emails and letters though, thankyou!
Love
