This is now day five that I have been in England. It is the middle of week number one already. Wow time flies!
On Tuesday, our team did not do much beside preparing for the rest of the week. On Friday, we will be leading youth group (called Pr1me). On Saturday we will be participating in an event called a ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee). It is a big group line dance interspersed with skits and loads of fun. So we were preparing our skits and messages for then. In the evening, the ladies had a ladies-only-night filled with fellowship and loads of chocolate. The men, on the other hand, went out a to Chinese buffet. I am still over stuffed from that. Haha.
Today, I got to sleep in. It is feeling so great to not have morning obligations other than preparing my heart for the rest of the day. I am getting to know my way around Formby much better. However, the coffee here is not what you would call their strongest emphasis. But I am really enjoying the frequent tea breaks. Tea is everywhere. They don't say, "What kind?" when you ask for tea. they just bring you the typical English tea because it is such a commodity. I think I will drink much more tea when I return. Mmmm :)
Tonight we had a Bible study and prayer meeting at the church. Michael prepared an excellent study from Mark 5. Afterward we chatted about its significance and how God's plan applied to us. Then we prayed. I really felt God's presence at that meeting. He was so peaceful and strong. It was so restful to talk to him about the deeper things of my heart. I am excited to see what God is going to do not only through me these next two weeks, but also in me.
