It's been a While...

I know it's been ages since i've updated you guys, but what can i say... life gets crazy! I'm practically an expert at driving now (at least enough so that they'll let me drive kids around!), i'm officially a UK resident with a bank account and a national insurance number, and the schools will now let me in by myself! They're really strick on who they'll let into schools for child safety reasons and you have to have back ground checks and all that fun stuff before they'll let you loose. The one thing i have yet to accomplish is a permanent place to live, but there is something in the wings that looks promising, so i'll let you know as soon as that works out!
Work is going well. I'm looking forward to starting off my birthday weekend with an all-nighter in Carlisle Cathedral with loads of school kids from all over Cumbria! 8pm-8am. Oh, it's gonna be a long weekend! I have some lovely friends from Cockermouth that are then taking me in for the weekend to help me celebrate my birthday. Some bowling and a birthday brunch are what appears to be on the agenda, should be good times.
I had my second youth group night with the older youth in Brough. If you don't know, i've been hired to lead a youth group called CHOFHS that's in this village of Brough. I've felt way over my head, as i've helped lots with youth work, but never been totally in charge of a group. You don't just plan events, you have to have a vision of what you want the group to become, where it's going...My continual prayer is that God would show me what His plans are for this group. Please feel free to pray that as well!
I hope this gives you a taste of what's going on in my life. I know it's not much, but until next time...
