Packing time, again!!!

Yes it's time again to pack my stuff into bags as we are leaving Texas tomorrow to go to Sierra Leone. It's an exciting time!! This is what I have been preparing for.
The first 2 weeks we will be on field service, this means helping out in the community of Yams Farm, inland from Freetown.. I am part of the children's area. I'll be teaching and playing games with the children from the local school. The rest of the time we are going to be building an extension to the school. This should be fun, as I really have no idea!! I should have had lesson's from my Dad!!! Oh well!!!! During this time I will not have internet acces, so I will not be able to update my Blog :(

I better tell you what I have been up to for the last week.
We had our basic safety training. This included firefighting, first aid, and how to safely evacuate a ship!!!! We had a a practical session in the pool for this, it was to say at least good fun, but also hard work!!! We all passed the training with flying colours!

This last Sunday we went to the Cross Brand Cowboy Church. It was a great time, they were very welcoming and invited us all to have lunch with them! So we had good Texan food of Chilli and cornbread! I actually thought I could easily become a cowgirl!!!! Yee-haw!

Today was our last day of Gateway. We had to all do a final presentation. We all went so well and was at times emotional. I realised how much I have learned by being here and that it's time for the next step! I am very excited to be going and really feel God has led me to this point. Please pray that as a group we travel safely to Sierra Leone and that we have a great time learning and being an impact in the community.
That's all for now from Texas... I hope ya'll pray for me now!!
