A sermon!!

Sunday, was a very nervous day, as my girls group leaders asked if I would share my experience from soul sista in front of the whole youth church! I have never talked before, at least not without crying, but I did it! YES!!!!! I looked at the wall behind, and when I looked at the people's faces, they were smiling at me! Several people told me I had done well, which was extremely encouraging!

I have my new workplacement on Friday, at a residential home in Ashford, which looks very nice, but I am worried (like usual) that they will forget I am meant to be going!!

Know your Elements!

This song reminds me of my secondary school days! A teacher called Mr Pritchard used to always play this song, and I tried to sing along, but I can't!!

My auntie!

My Auntie Rebecca took me to college yesterday, as my mum was helping her with some cleaning! It was brilliant to not have to catch the bus and train!

Auntie Rebecca told me she wasn't going to do anything embarrassing, but as I got out of the car, she started waving to me wildely, telling me to have a good day! I wouldn't have minded if there hadn't been anyone around, but unfortunately, a girl was walking down the road! She was laughing her head off, and couldn't stop smiling!! I hid in my jacket, pretending that I was invisible! Thankfully, the girl didn't say anything, but I could tell what she was thinking!
She is still the best though!!

My Auntie told my mum I had something to write on my blog today, so that is why I am writing this!

Im off to Canada!!!

The tickets have now been booked for my first trip to Canada, on the 16th July to the 12th August, with my Auntie Rebecca!
We are flying with zoom, which goes direct to Winnipeg airport, and apparently the seats are extremely comfortable, with delicious snacks!! When my Auntie told me that she was booking the tickets, I was jumping up and down! I can't really believe it at the moment!

Yesterday, was my cousin's birthday, and she lives in quite a small village! My mum and I went over there with her birthday present, I think she liked it very much!

Today, I went back to college, after a brilliant half term! Even more people have left the course now! Soon, I think they'll only be about three people left!

An afternoon with Louise!

Yesterday afternoon, Louise came round my house at 3.30 pm!! It was brilliant!
The first thing was to tell Louise about the surprise that is coming for her, which she is really excited about! Gethin, the blue peter presenter is signing a picture for her! It should be hear any day now! Louise was jumping up and down when I told her!
Afterward, we played on the playstation, on the game, the Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe! It was excellent, but we got a little bit stuck on a level!

For dinner, we ate Pork chops, Roast Potatoes, Courgettes, Sweetcorn, and Gravy!! Pudding was definitely the best though, as we ate Strawberry, and Cream cheesecake!

Today, I had a super day at the library this morning! I have to work to save up for my trip to Canada! I almost have enough!
Lunch was even better, as my mum and I went to Marks and Spencer! I brought cold sausages, and these cheesey stars!

Soul Sista Weekend!!

Last weekend, I went to Ashburnum in East Sussex with my girl's group to a soul sista houseparty!! It was brilliant! My friend, Becky came as well, so it was really good to develop a closer friendship with her!

The two girl's group leaders took us there, Fiona and Sonia! Once we arrived at Ashburnum at about 6.30, on Friday evening, we went and dinner! We ate Jacket potato, with cheese, which was delicious! Two of the soul sista team came and spoke to Becky and I, one of them was Irish!! We spoke for a while, and she said she worked on a television show, and that television show is Blue Peter! I was very excited, especially as I watch Blue Peter (yes, I know I'm sad!) Guess what Louise, her best friend is Gethin, and I have a surprise for you!!!

I kept asking the lady questions the whole time we were there!

There were plenty of things to do there, a pamper corner, where I had a hand massage! There were two seminars on Saturday, and two meetings, which were excellent!! On Saturday evening, the holy spirit moved, and people were falling over, which was very emotional, but super!

The food was absolutley scrummy, especially the forest fruits ice cream we had! There were lots of cakes too, and fruit flan!!

It rained quite a lot, but we did manage to see some of the beautiful grounds! The bed's weren't too bad, apart from I was on the top bunk, and I kept banging my head on the ceiling! There was also damp above me!

I had a wonderful time, and would definitely go back!!

The picture on the top right is my friend Becky, I have known her since I was born!! She didn't want me to post the picture, but I did post the nice one!

Spare ribs!

It has been a busy week, so far!!

Sunday, was a briliant day, but frightening at the beginning of the day, as I was made to go up to the front of our church to be prayed for! At first, I sunk into the chair, pretending I wasn't there! I eventually went up though!
In the afternoon, my Auntie Rebecca and Grandad came for dinner, and they brought spare ribs, which we ate yesterday evening for dinner!! They were delicious, especially the tangy, barbeque sauce they came in!! My Auntie Rebecca told me about her week, and about the duck she ate! Later on, we watched the dvd of Eithne's first Christmas, as my Auntie Rebecca hadn't seen it, it was really funny! We didn't manage to watch it all though, as grandad feel asleep!!

Another person has dropped out of my course!! There are not many of us left now!!

Every day, as I walk to the college, I look for Auntie Rebecca, or grandad passing by, so far, I haven't seen them!!

The elderly!

Yesterday, I was at the eldercare centre, for my workplacement! I am really enjoying it, and love listening to the elderly talk about their lives! There is one lady called Terri, who is super! She is almost 90 years old, and finds it difficult to walk, but she always takes my hand to help her! A man named Joe gave me £5 yesterday, and told me to buy an ice cream!! I had to check that that was alright though! Guess where my £5 is going to go? Not far to go!
Next week is my last week at the eldercare centre, and then I have only one more workplacement, it all finishes at Easter, which is early this year!

Today for lunch, I had a sausage and cheese pasty thing, it was delicious!!
