I have been in coventry a month !
I have been meaning to get around to writing this for some time as this blog will now be the main way i will comunicate with friends and family back home that are not on other social media particuly my church back home (hi guys)
so here goes , the last month or so in a nutshell.
I'm officially settled in and doing well up here. its taken some adjustment. but there have been so many wonderful people that have made it as smooth as possible from my new church and the welcome has been brilliant. and I can now even make it from home to work without getting lost or using google maps (this is no small miracle because the lord has not graced me with any sense of direction to speak of)
last weekend I had the joy of being a bridesmaid for one of my best friends at uni .I think this will get a blog post of its own in the near future so keep an eye out for that if your intrsted but here are a couple of photos of that
as for how the new job is going. I'm slowly getting the hang of being in the driving seat a bit more than when i was an intern. it is defiantly more responsibility. I'm getting to know the kids and they really are a great bunch ! the plan is by the time September rolls around the children ministry will restart with a new lease of life. which i think the vast majority of the congregation are looking forward to.
i would just like to take this opportunity to say another massive thank you to everyone who took the time to pray for me offer me words of encouragement as well as gifts of money and cards. the money has been spent on household things that I needed like bedding and towels. so its been a major blessing to have those gifts.
hope to come and see you all soon
lots of love
