learning zone!

Another week done here in hot Texas, and it has been a week of new experiences and challenges!
We had a speaker come for 3 days to speak about spiritual warfare, I learned so much and felt challenged at the same time. Really feel that God has brought me here and feel so great about it all.
We have also had teaching on prayer, which has been great, and for those who know me, I don't pray out loud in a group, I do now!!!!!!!!! We went on a silent retreat yesterday (a first for me) to a national state park. It was a beautiful setting for 4 hours of seeking God, it was very special time for me.

The group of people here are great, we have games in the evenings, watch a DVD, or go for a swim or walk. So we have some time to relax and socialise after the long classes.

This week I have also experinced some Texan life!! We had to herd some cattle with a real cowboy!!! Also went for a bbq at one of the mentors house, which was nice to see and the food was yummy!


As you hopefully can tell life at the moment is good getting prepared for life on the ship! If you would like to support me in this new adventure let me know. Ta xxx

Week one!!!!!

Well it has been a whole week! So much has happened!
First of all, thank you for your prayers, tenants moved in on Tuesday, which is great :)
I have completed the first section here in Texas, Foundations of Mercy Ships. Then yesterday started the Gateway section, Which will be 4 weeks here in Texas then we do 2 weeks of field service in Sierra Leone before joining the crew on the Africa Mercy!
It has been an interesting week getting to know the others in the group. I am sharing a room with 3 other girls (2 from USA and 1 from Australia), fortunately we have not had any scorpions in our room, yet!!!
I am enjoying the weather at the moment as it is hot , so the swimming pool as come in handy!!!!!
I will try and write more often, if I get time!

Hi all, from dallas Texas!!

Well I have made it to Dallas, just a little tip, if you ever think of coming to Dallas or via Dallas airport, take an extra 1hour and half for visa checks, it was sooo long!

Anyway the flight was good managed to see 3 films I had wanted to see earlier this year, so that was great!

The weather here is lovely and hot, which makes a change to the cold and miserable weather in the UK.
Today I travel to Mercy Ships headquarters which is about 2 hour drive from Dallas, so I get to see a little bit of Texas.
That is all from now!!xx

Last day in British Soil!! (For 14 months)

Getting ready to leave tomorrow, bags are packed, farewells done, malaria tablets in bag!!!!!
Unfortunately tenants have not moved in to my house yet, pray that they will at the beginning of next week. This means I will need to sort out the house insurance from USA, which is not great, as I was hoping to have it sorted by now!
It has been a very stressfull week but I am very excited to be starting this new adventure! It has been great to see family and friends this week, and will miss them a lot.
So watch this space as the next one will be from Texas!!!
