I've just got home from being Daddy bear, you'll be glad to know that wearing a full bear costume with a waist coat over and have my belly and bum stuffed with cushions is a great look for me!!!

So it seems like its been a hectic week but I haven't achieved a great deal. Working full time is an absolute biach and really eats into your week. I work so hard at work, and yet I have nothing to show for it except blisters. In my free time this week I have had Capers students for meals, seen them at socials and youth groups, and generally seem to have taken up all my time. It has been fun though, they're a great team and really fun individuals, unfortunately they leave tomorrow, it has been nice to have other people my age in church apart from Em and I'll certainly miss them! Its kinda hard when it seems like I have one kindred spirit at church, she is already my best friend, everyone else is either older, younger or away. I guess it comes with living in a heathenish country (which only claims to be Christian) and living in the sticks. If only I could capture these people and make them stay in my church to encourage me forever?! As I wrote that I could almost feel God shaking His Head at me, as though to say, this is your challenge and you should find your encouragment in me.

Anyways... I had my injections on Friday in my lunch hour and then went back to work and unloaded a massive delivery. So not wise, my arms have been killing ever since! Did I tell you that I'm going to India soon (hence the injections)? I'm so ubber ubber excited. Although in all honesty, and its not something I'm proud to admit, I'm a thousand times more scared than excited to go to such an underprivledaged and underdeveloped country, and to villages which are classed as the lowest of the low. However, as I was praying about this the other I realised I was being irrational, so what if I'm terrified, God has paved the way, whether I can handle it or not God will certainly keep his eye on me!
