Ok, so last Sunday morning I went to Grace Comunity Church, Kempston, to talk about our trip to Guatemala. Christina had skived off for a weekend with young life, so I had to do it all on my own :-(
...but I can't grumble because she let me go to Thorpe Park on the Friday when I should have been helping her run a cake stall! so . . . where was I? yeah, Kempston.
Well they gave me the children's talk slot, and all the kids came to sit at the front while I was interviewed about our trip. then I sang. they kindly gave us £100 towards our costs, which we are grateful for. I also received a donation of £30 from my sister in law Tash's parents which will be a big help.
On Tuesday morning we both went to Dunton school to take their assembly, after spending the whole day before ordering resources and planning for Dunton and Gamlingay. The children were seemingly enthralled and listened very carefully, and also asked some great questions. We then had a look round at the school, which both Christina and I went to when we were little. They have kindly offered to donate some money.
Gamlingay Baptist was on Thursday evening. we put together a powerpoint for this one, as we had an hour. we were a bit nervous about filling the time, but we did it! We had a wonderful time with the members there, and gratefully collected £75 from the evening. iItwas such a blessing to be with them and we both enjoyed it.
We have nearly done ordering resources, I have sort of started packing or rather gathering together things i'll take in a pile so I know where it all is!
Next event is the Rotary club on 27th July. so till then . . . :-)
