You know about the day, the evening was alot of fun - we went to the cinema for a late night showing - which was very fun - a very large quantity of cake was consumed beforehand! *
*Starbucks may not have made it to SA yet (praise the Lord!) but Mugg&Bean should definitely break into the UK market - their cakes are insanely good - and HUGE as well - I might stick a photo on sometime - but then you would all realise what a fattie I'm being at the moment - so maybe i won't!!*
Sunday 04/05
I went to PCF (the church onsite) in the morning - brilliant times - so chilled out and a completely different experience to NCF - far more multi-cultural which is brilliant!
Then we went out with Dean to the big mall near us for lunch @ Spur - my first steak for a long time :D
Then our almost-weekly food shop (we go shopping fairly regularly for all those little things that always get forgotten!) with Hannah, Jenny and Izzy while the other three came back to Gateway - as Jonno hasn't been feeling too well (I've managed to pass my cold to Izzy and Jonno it would seem :S)
We were back just in time (after a slight detour onto the highway....my mistake!!) for Jonno, Izzy and I to go to NCF for the evening service - was brilliant - felt more and more like we have actually found friends there :D
Monday 05/05
Well; we thought we were going to be starting our projects this morning - but that hasn't quite happened(!) things seem more concrete in my mind - but that's just becuase we're talking more about time-scales now - and are sort of starting to get things done!
I will be spending the majority of my time in the community care projects - as well as helping with admin (on the IT/computer side of things) and hopefully abit with the kids from the school aswell as hopefully getting their computer room closer to being usable (i didn't think i'd been doing that at first - but its been suggested to me several times - so I'm going to give it a go and see how far I get!)
Jenny, Hannah and Izzy are working to produce some movable display boards with the info about Gateway and the projects which is currently on the seminar room walls. So they're busily researching and budgeting that!
Unfortunately Jonno is not feeling so good - i think it might be something like the flu - but he's very good at not moaning so I'm not too sure!
The car has gone to the mechanics as there are some things that need fixing - so is strange to not have a car.
Abby went driving for the first time(as she's been pretty nervous about the whole thing) this morning -she went out with Hannah who is very good at navigating us round P.M.B - I'm not so great at that atm - mainly coz it takes me quite a while to get a journey embedded in my memory - we're all getting there tho.
From all reports Abby did very well - and will be volunteering alongside myself and Hannah at Bethany House - which we're all very excited about :D
Heading out to a creche 2moro - and then off to a fundraising course as part of our intro to admin (its mainly Jonno, Phil and myself who are looking to be involved in the admin in some aspect or another!)
All very exciting!!
Peace out x
