Early September Post

Hey Peeps,

Just thought I would put a post up as I am running a little empty on work this afternoon- that just shows how much I love you all.

I only have two days left of work here. It's been 8 weeks working for Sandwell Borough Council. The job has been really nice, it hasn't been to stressful, but it has been challenging and really re-assured me that I know what I am doing in this line of work. Hey I was worried that I didn't have a clue about things.

I am so looking forward to heading back up to Newcastle next week. Infact it's going to be quite a crazy time over the next couple of weeks:
- I am packing all my stuff up the next two nights ready to leave next week.
- I am heading down to Bristol on Friday to see Mike Reddecliff and Tucker from my Uni days
then across to Cardiff for the weekend and going to be baptising some of the youth I worked with when I lived in St. Mellons - a really precious opportunity I could not refuse.
- While I am in Cardiff my Mercy Ships roommate Daniel is coming down and I'll show him the sights and sounds of the Welsh Capital and we'll both head back to Redditch for a day or two and then drive back up to Newcastle on Tuesday.
- I hope then to spend sometime with Rachel Cook and Rachel Wilson in Durham before one heads of back to the States and the other to University.
- Unpack my gear at the house then drive Daniel to Manchester Airport on Friday morning at some stupid time.
- Back to Newcastle and celebrating at the weekend and seeing all my Church buddies on Sunday morning.
- Then back to work at 6:30am on Monday morning. It's going to be a tiring week and a half!!

So yeah it's going to be pretty busy but am looking forward to it (I may have mentioned this already!)

Next time I update this blog I hopefully will be back on the ship and put up some photos of the progress since I left 3 months ago. I just hope it won't be to much of a shock that I no longer will be cooked for and my laundry done. I have a new roommate when I go back, a 19 year old South African, so I hope we get on okay.

keep safe peeps. thanks for tuning in and keep it all afloat.
