Hey folks, just thought I’d do one more update before Christmas. Think of it as my present to you!. I hope you’re all well and looking forward to Christmas, got all your shopping done, bought the turkey or whatever!
This is the last week before we break up for Christmas which is pretty sad but I am looking forward to a break and being with family for a prolonged period of time, not just a weekend. Unfortunately Rm1 at Coombe isn’t on this week because they have building work going on round our hut so we can’t use it this week. I was off ill some of last week so I didn’t get to see them which is a shame. We’re going to have a go moving some stuff around in Rm1 which should be cool.
This is also the last week at Hollyfield, I only have 2 more sessions there, and knowing Bex, we’ll be doing some very Christmassy things with cheesy Christmas songs on in the background! But it’ll be fun.
THE KINGSNYMPTON CHRISTMAS BALL WAS AWESOME! It went really well we had a really good turn out, they all had fun which was really cool. Some of them had prepared a dance routine which was really cool. They did it wrong first time apparently so they did it again and they got it right but it was really cool, they had put a lot of effort into what they wanted to do how they would like while they were doing it, preparing the dance area, and all-in-all, it was a success.
And finally, last but not least, the boys group on Thursday evenings had their Christmas do/party thingy, well it wasn’t really a party, we cooked them a Christmas dinner which was awesome, and the guy who did the stuffing is a genius errhermm..J. They really enjoyed the meal and we had a really good conversation with them about Christianity and prayer and they got really into it and they were really listening to what Ashlee and I were saying and they were asking serious questions.
This was a real answer to prayer because I was getting a bit frustrated that I wasn’t really getting or seeing opportunities to talk to the young people about Christianity and then you have these guys here who can’t sit still for 2 minutes if their lives depended on it, sitting still and listening to us and being genuinely interested! It was amazing and I really hope we can carry this momentum on into 2010 because there’s really good potential in that group.
Please pray for all the young people that over Christmas they can see what it’s all about and they can see past the presents and decorations and see the real point of Christmas.
Thanks you all for reading my updates over this year, I hope you have a great Christmas, stay safe, stay warm, it’s gonna be white this year!!
God Bless

Hey hey. I haven’t done a report for what seems like years! Hope you’re all well. I’ve been really busy last few weeks, it feels like I’ve had no time to catch my breathe! Last week I had to take team time so spent a lot of time preparing or that, and it went ok, could’ve been better, could’ve been worse.
I don’t really know where to start or what to really say……..but let me try. The last two weeks have been a learning experience. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had difficulty communicating what I really feel or think to others. I really don’t think it’s a trust issue on my part though I must admit I’m quite cautious before I open up because of past experiences but once I trust you, which is not that hard, I believe in giving you complete trust so that’s really not the issue but what I believe the problem is, is that I simply and truthfully just don’t know how to express myself which I feel has in a way prevented me from growing past a certain stage.
