Life after Prayer Space....

Hi Folks!

I am so sorry for all the delay to post it!

Last post I’ve explained about the Prayer Space which happened in the High School. We received a lot of compliments for all the effort and a good response from the School’s staff and students. It was really good to see the young people engaging with the Prayer Space. There is an article about it on the Prayer Space website as well (click here to open it), which I've heard it was a Hit. After the success of the Prayer Space, we’ve been working on The Big Questions, which is a way to try to discuss with the students about the questions that they made while the Prayer Space. We’ll be at School at lunchtimes on Wednesdays at the same room. We already started this week and it was really good the first meeting we had.

With the youth groups, we’ve been helping in a sleepover on the church in Broughton basically watching film, playing games, eating and trying to have some sleep as well. In Ulverston we’ve played laser tag and had a pancake party. In Urswick we’ve played the church bells, which is quite an interesting thing to do here, because it has a right way to do it and it isn’t just about strength. Other thing that we are preparing for the youth here is a residential with all the groups together, which we are all really excited to do. We had our first  meeting to plan it and hopefully the young people around the ages11-14 (ish) will like it.

I got more involved with the worship group in the Café Church and had lead it as well which was a really good experience for me. I also had a presentation about myself and what we are doing around the Deanery on the Deanery Synod meeting. It was really good to share a little bit about my life, what I’ve done and my hopes for the Youth in this Deanery.

For me this time had been really good to engage with the young people and to learn a lot of things. I hope to learn even more and develop what I need to. I am really impressed on what God had done here and what He is going to do. And what about the future? I’ll let God deal with that because I know that He will guide me and open the doors for what He wants me to do.

For fun, I’ve been on Carlisle United football(soccer) match, in Chester with Gary and Jane, having a lovely time cycling, etc. It has been really good fun all I’ve done so far. Hopefully I will go to other new places and do some new stuff as well. Well, actually this weekend I am going to have a walk and adventure with some people from the church. It’ll be a good fun…to not say epic or legen….wait for it….dary….hehehehe

Well, That’s all for now… Hope you all have a great time of Lent and hopefully I’ll update sooner this time.

Thanks for reading…. 

God bless You all…

Bye…

Prayer Space

Hi Guys!
How are you doing??
Well... I think I am a little bit late, but I was really busy(still a little busy actually, but It's easier to do that today)...
After the New Years party and the small Holiday that I had I started to work hard with Vic on the Prayer Space in Schools... Because it is our first time doing it we needed to prepare a lot of stuff, but the good thing was that we've received a lot of help as well... Which made things a little bit easier...
The Prayer Space in Schools is a Space that the students will find creative ways to make a prayer, which is the Assembly's theme and is one reason to do the Prayer Space. Each station deals with different issues like personal (worries, Self-image, Hopes and dreams, etc) and some World issues (Corruption, Human Trafficking, Weather, etc). Well, our work at the School started on Monday setting up the room, followed by an Assembly on Tuesday and the Prayer Space officially started today in Break and lunchtimes in UVHS (Ulverston Victoria High School) and will be there for the students until 07/02. Our hope is to make a good impact in this School and on those students life.  I really feel encouraged to see the School door's opened to us and to see that people are interested in prayer but they sometimes just don't know how to do that.
Vic and I will be involved in some lessons as well talking about prayer. Which is a good thing, because we have a whole room settled up for the lessons. I just hope that they could take it seriously and spend some time doing it, enjoying everything what all the stations could offer.
Besides that I had lead this Sunday the Cafe Church with Vic and I am starting to sing more often on the Cafe Church as well which is good.
Pretty busy but exciting at the same time...
Well...even though I was really busy doing those things I had time to cook some Brazilian things, to go to the zoo, to go to watch a film, etc...
I hope you could enjoy and get excited as I am...
And I am sorry again for delaying to update the blog...
That's all folks

Many thanks for reading...
Tusen takk...

Ha det (Bye)

Happy Christmas and New Years!!

Hi everyone...
I hope you had a good time of Christmas and I hope you all have a great 2014. I hope the light that comes from Jesus Christ shine in your heart and bless you...
December was a pretty busy month because Christmas is really important event for church. Well, in Ulverston the Christmas time starts with the Dickensian festival, that I had written on my last post. I've been in 5 Christmas parties before the Christmas day and I really enjoyed them, because it is full of games and fun. I could feel how England celebrate Christmas like the opening of presents, the food, the different traditions between families, etc. I could feel a really "magical Christmas" again, with people helping each other and giving Christmas cards one to another. I've got some presents and gave some as well, received a lot of cards and send a lot as well... It was really a good fun, playing the games, singing carols and having good time with friends...
For New Years, I've been in Edinburgh which was the place to be. It was good fun to see the traditional Torchlight procession on the 30/12 and to be on the Street Party on the New Years Eve. I've been in Glasgow as well, which was good but could be better with a fair accommodation and in a different time of year, because of the bank holiday almost everything was closed.
Well...
In the Parish Church a lot of things happened for Christmas, like Christmas parties for all groups (house groups, youth group, toddlers, prayer team, PCC, etc). We had also some additional services as well, like the Saturday Morning service, Carol Service, Christingle, Midnight Service and Christmas day service. We went as well to sing some Carols in Costa Cafe which was really good time to get to know better the people and was really good to sing there for fun and some coffee...hehehe...
They seemed pleased to watch us singing there.
The Carol Service was really good, because we had a really good choir and the feedback from the crowd was outstanding. I think we achieved our objectives and it was really pleasant time singing with the choir and the whole congregation. Our setlist was: Oh Holy Night (Alison),  God rest ye merry, Gentlemen (Choir/Church), Joy to the World (Choir/Church), O little town of Bethlehem (Choir/Church), Silent Night (Choir/Church), O come all Ye faithful (Choir/Church) and The Norwegian Blessing (Choir/ Andre solo).
The Christingle Service is a really interesting service, because it gets busier than the Remembrance Day Service. Well, Christingle is something traditional here which the orange represent the world, the candle represent Christ The Light of the World, the 4 sticks represent the 4 seasons, the candies represent the fruits of the land and the red ribbon represent the blood of Christ. A lot of children go there to hold a Christingle with the lights off in the Church. It was beautiful to look all those children holding the Christingle while we were singing Away in a Manger with just the candle lights on.
Well, I think that's it for now.... I hope to write more often...
I hope you enjoyed it and could learn more as I am constantly learning here...
Thanks for reading...
God Bless you....

Hi folks!
I am really sorry because I haven't updated last week, but here I am to do that this week...
Well, I went to an amazing show in Durham with Vic, Kaja and Ingrid. The show was The Big Church Night with Martin Smith (from Delirious) and Leeland which was really good and I felt encouraged afterwards. On Saturday, I went to the Men's Conference in Manchester with Alan and some other men from church which was really good time there, even though I couldn't have time enough to sneak around Manchester a little bit, but that's OK. On that weekend, we had the Dickensian Festival which is one of the most busiest festivals around here. A lot of people all over UK come here to this festival which the name comes from a famous British writer called Charles Dickens. It was really good to see everyone really into it, even though I just got there on the packing time. I've baked a mince pie, which was really good and traditional thing to eat on Christmas time, when I was "helping" on H2O. Talking about food, I've eaten Marmite, which I've heard that either you really like it or really hate it. Well, I can't describe the flavor because I don't think it is related to something that I had ever tasted before. I don't think that it is the best thing in the world, but I don't think it is the worst as well. So, I think if I grew up eating that I would might like it.
Well, on those two weeks we had a lot of things that happened like the bowling with the UPC youth, the laser tag with the group from Broughton, the Internship meeting, etc. Which shows that Vic is willing to support the groups around the Furness Deanery. On the Internship meeting, we've met the Board of Education in Cartmel Priory School, which is a Church of England School. It was really good to see that they are really happy to have us here and it was a pleasure to share a little bit of what I've experienced so far. The Board of Education looks all the church's schools, the network youth churches/leaders (like Vic), the Internship program, etc.
Well, I think that's all the highlights of my two last weeks... I hope you like it...
And really looking forward to the following weeks because I am going to London pretty soon and I'll have a real Christmas tree at home for Christmas... I'll take a picture of it... ^^
Well...Thanks for reading....And have a really great week...^^
God bless you all...^^

Olá galera!! Belezinha??
Desculpem pela minha falta de organização para atualizar o blog. Vou tentar pelo menos postar duas vezes por mês!!
Bom, alguns dias atrás eu fui com a Vic, Kaja e Ingrid para o Big Church Night com Martin Smith e Leeland, o que foi incrivelmente massa.... Gostei muito de tudo... e o mais legal ver que eles, especialmente Martin Smith, são bem humildes e legais... Muito legal mesmo...
No sábado, eu fui com um grupo de homens para uma conferência de homens, pela New Wine em Manchester. Foi um evento bem interessante que durou o dia inteiro quase. Mas não tive tempo de visitar a cidade.
Naquele fim de semana ocorreu o Dickensian Festival que atraiu pessoas de diversas partes do Reino Unido. Esse festival marca o começo das festividades de Natal por aqui, por conta dos contos de Charles Dickens. Neste festival muitos se vestem com trajes da época da rainha Vitória, o que torna o evento mais atrativo. Uma pena eu não poder ter participado efetivamente dele por conta dos compromissos...
Por aqui eu tenho aprendido muitas coisas novas e costumes, e uma das coisas que eles fazem para o Natal são bolos, tortas e outras comidas típicas de Natal aqui, entre elas o mince pie, que eu tive o prazer de "fazer". É muito bom ter essa oportunidade de vir aqui e passar o Natal aqui, pois cada elemento me faz sentir mais dentro do "Espírito Natalino". Falando em comidas, eu experimentei o tal do Marmite, que é algo específico daqui que muitos amam ou odeiam. Bom eu com certeza não gostei muito, mas também não foi tão ruim assim. Acredito que vale a experiência provar e tirar as próprias conclusões.
Nessas duas semanas nós tivemos muitas coisas acontecendo por aqui, como jogar boliche com os adolescentes da comunidade, laser tag com a Comunidade de Broughton, os encontros dos Interns, etc. O que apenas reflete no esforço da Vic de cobrir a região Furness. No Encontro dos Interns nós fomos apresentados para o Conselho de Educação na escola Cartmel Priory, que é uma escola da Igreja Anglicana. O conselho é responsável por assuntos relacionados às escolas ligadas à Igreja Anglicana, Network Youth Churches/líderes(Vic), programas de Intercâmbio, etc. Foi bem importante, gratificante e bom ter a oportunidade de falar um pouco sobre a minha experiência aqui e ouvir que eles estão muito interessados em dar um suporte para nós.
Bom, acredito que esse foi os Highlights das minhas duas semanas passadas....
Espero que tenham curtido.....
E realmente estou ansioso para as próximas semanas, pois irei para Londres... E neste Natal terei uma árvore de Natal de verdade em casa... legal, não é? Vou tirar uma foto para postar...^^
Bom, Obrigado por estar lendo aqui... Tenham uma excelente semana....
Deus abençoe vocês....

Hi Folks! How are you doing?
I hope everyone is alright...
Well... I am alright!!
I would like to thank all of you that read the blog for supporting me... It is really means a lot to me.
Last week we had Life Groups back again, we stopped because of the Half term and the Bonfire Night. On Thursday, Vic and I went to Callahan's Group, called Ignite, which has children between the ages +- 8 to +-12, I think. It was a good time there and was really nice to see the way that Sarah and Mark Callahan lead their group as well. After that we went for Tea in a pub there, called The Stan Laurel, with the 20's and 30's youth. It was really good time together, the problem was that I didn't understand that we were going for Tea and I knew that I would be back later on that night, so I had tea before. But I was looking forward to meet people around my age and just hang out, laughing about life and other things. But the most waited thing was on Friday, which Vic, Martin, Mrs Jane and I went to Grasmere to walk up on the mountain and have an apple pie when we get back. So we went up on the mountain "The Lion and the Lamb", which has that name because on the peak the rocks looks like a Lion and a Lamb. The view there was outstanding and could be better if it wasn't cloudy. Well, it took us 3 hours of fun and really nice views. Grasmere is a really beautiful village, which looks like it comes from a movie(film). At night Vic and I went to the Fun and Fireworks, which was an event from Emmanuel Church. It was really good because it was a way to do something with different churches so that the youth could be in touch with other groups, even though some already do that. The idea was meet on Emmanuel, go to the HOAD to see the fireworks display and then go back to Emmanuel to have more fun and food. It was really good the display and it was a good way to try to do something together focusing on having fun. The important thing was the cooperation between different christian groups to work for the God's Kingdom.
Vic and I went to Broughton in Furness this Monday to pray for the young people around the Deanery. It was really good time there and it was really important because we could make some new and key contacts with some towns around that we didn't have before. We already had a prayer meeting for youth but it was with a group of people from Ulverston.
On this week, I would like to write about the Youth Cafe Church, which was an event organized on this last Sunday. It was idealized, organized and lead by the teenagers from Ulverston Parish Church but they had some adult's help as well. Pete and I were in charged of the Youth band to lead the worship time. It was really good time and the feedback was very positive as well, even though we still need to improve some things. The Sermon was brilliant, the conduction was OK, the worship was alright, the games and tuck shop were a good idea. After the service the basement was opened so the teenagers could play Xbox, pool, table tennis, etc. The main idea is to have the Youth Cafe church once a month, even though the next would be in January.
But well....
That's all folks!!
Thank you all for reading...
See you around...

Dae Galera,
Belezinha??
Espero que vocês estejam bem...
Bom...Eu estou muito bem!! Agradeço aos que estão aí sempre lendo e dando uma força para que eu continue a escrever...
Semana passada o Life groups voltou, pois paramos por duas semanas devido a pausa que eles tem aqui chamada half term e por conta do Bonfire Night. Na quinta-feira, Vic e eu fomos visitar o grupo que é liderado por Mark e Sarah Callahan, chamado Ignite. Foi muito legal ver a forma que eles trabalham com as crianças que variam de +- 8 a +-11 anos, eu acho. Depois tivemos um jantar com as pessoas entre os 20 e 30 da região para conversarmos. Foi um tempo muito legal e bem divertido, o problema foi que eu não sabia que iríamos para jantar e sabia que iria voltar tarde, portanto já tinha jantado. Eu estava realmente esperando por essa oportunidade de encontrar todos da minha idade, ou mais ou menos da mesma idade, mas eu estava ansiosamente esperando por outra coisa que estava para acontecer na sexta-feira, o passeio para Grasmere. Foi muito legal ir para lá com a Mrs Jane, Vic e Martin. Nosso passeio consistiu em subir a montanha chamada "The Lion and the Lamb" e, depois de descer, comer uma torta de maçã. A vista era muito bonita, e poderia ter sido muito melhor se não estivesse nublado. A montanha é chamada "The Lion and the Lamb" pois o formato das rochas no topo parecem com um Leão e um Cordeiro. Levamos, mais ou menos, umas 3 horas para subir e descer de lá. A cidade de Grasmere é muito bonita, parece aqueles vilarejos de filme. Na sexta à noite, Vic e eu fomos dar uma força em um evento chamado "Fun and Fireworks" da Igreja Emmanuel. Foi uma forma de tentar unir as juventudes da cidade, mesmo que alguns deles já tivessem contato anteriormente. A idéia do evento era ir até o HOAD e soltar fogos de artifício, ter jogos, comida, etc. Foi uma iniciativa muito legal fazer essa noite, e ainda mais, acredito que é muito importante que os adolescentes vejam que o importante não é o rótulo (como luterano, batista, anglicano, etc.) pois os rótulos só afastam as pessoas. O ponto importante desta união é ver todos os cristãos trabalhando em cooperação para o Reino de Deus.
Na segunda-feira agora, Vic e eu fomos orar pela juventude na cidade de Broughton in Furness. Foi muito importante esse encontro para simplesmente orar pela juventude da região de Furness, já tinhamos se reunido antes com um pessoal mas era com o pessoal da cidade. Acredito que muitas idéias, muitos contatos puderam ser firmados lá.
Nesta semana, eu gostaria de escrever sobre o Youth Cafe Church, que foi um evento organizado neste último domingo. Foi um evento idealizado, organizado e liderado pela juventude, claro com algumas ajudas de fora. Eu estive responsável em montar uma banda, junto com o Pete, para podermos liderar o momento de louvor. Foi muito legal e o feedback do pessoal foi bem positivo, mesmo tendo que melhorar alguns aspectos. A palavra foi bem tocante, a condução do culto foi tranquila, ainda mais com jogos, doces e bebidas. Depois do culto, foi aberto o porão, onde acontecem os encontros do Life Groups, para que os adolescentes pudessem jogar Xbox, sinuca, ping pong, etc. A idéia é tornar esse Culto jovem mais frequente, uma vez por mês, mesmo que o próximo será somente em Janeiro.

Bom...
Por hoje é só pessoal...
Até mais... Vejo vocês por aí...

Remembrances.... Lembranças...

Hey Folks,

The two last weeks were quite interesting and exciting. We had a Heroes and Villains Party at 31^st Oct, as an alternative to the people that doesn’t think that Halloween is a good thing to celebrate. Well, I was saying the whole week that in 31^st Oct was the day that Martin Luther put the 95 thesis on Wittenberg’s Church. The party was mostly for kids and was opened to people outside the church, as well. Even though the youth haven’t been there, they had enjoyed the week with a party on Saturday with lots of fun and food.

On this Saturday we had the Prayer Stall, which was quite freezing and wet because it was windy and rainy the whole morning. When I had to go back home the weather was nicer and clear, but as soon I got home a really bad storm just started.

Another highlight from my week was the Bonfire Night (click here) which happened on this Tuesday (5^th Nov) and I went to Lindal in Furness to see the fireworks display at the cricket field. It was a really good fun that night even though was really cold there.  And last Sunday we had the Remembrance Day (click here) which we prayed/remembered those who fight/died on the wars. It was a really good and traditional event. Well it was a really busy day, because this service was at 2:30pm but I also had the 10:30 am and the café church to attend. On Monday I helped in a funeral at church. It was a friend’s mother-in-law that died. It was a really good service. I hope God be with them, comforting them in this tough time.

This week I would like to tell about the places around the deanery Furness. We have 19 towns which some just join together to have enough people for youth group. I think it is really encouraging to see what people have done around here and the youth work that they are developing. We believe that God, even though it is autumn, is bringing a spring feeling around Ulverston and Furness Deanery. I feel that the schools are the key to reach the youngsters heart. Even though they seem to not like the school’s clubs and the meetings there would be considered as a club. It is exciting to know that God is taking care of every single decision that we are making here, uniting our hearts and our strengths to see Ulverston’s and the Furness Deanery’s youth raising, not just in numbers but in spirit and in truth as well.

I think that is all folks…^^

Thank you for read…

See you around….

Dae Galera...

As últimas semanas foram muito legais e bem interessantes. Tivemos uma festa  alternativa sobre heróis e vilões no dia 31/10, pois a galera aqui não acredita que seja uma boa comemorar o halloween do jeito que é. Bom, eu não esqueci do Dia da Reforma, tanto que fiquei a semana inteira dizendo sobre o dia 31/10, pois há +- 500 anos atrás(496 anos) Martinho Lutero pregou as 95 teses na Igreja de Wittenberg. A festa foi planejada focando em um público pueril, porém o evento foi aberto para pessoas que não frequentam a igreja. Os adolescentes da comunidade também tiveram uma festa que ocorreu no sábado com muita diversão e comida.

No sábado tivemos o Prayer Stall, que estava agradavelmente frio e úmido, porque estava ventando muito e chovia bastante durante a manhã . O bom é que quando voltei para casa o tempo estava aberto e bom, mas assim que cheguei em casa desabou o mundo de chover.

Outro ponto alto foi o Bonfire Night (Clique aqui), que aconteceu nesta terça-feira (05 de novembro). Eu fui ver os fogos de artifício em um campo de cricket em Lindal in Furness, o que foi muito bom e interessante, pois fui com os Ensolls que são muito gente boa. Foi muito legal estar lá, mesmo que quase congelando de frio. E no último domingo, tivemos o Remembrance Day (Clique aqui), que oramos/lembramos dos que lutaram/morreram nas guerras. Foi um evento muito bom, tradicional e muito emotivo. Foi um dos dias mais corridos, pois este culto foi às 2:30, mas eu também tinha ido no culto das 10:30 e ajudei no cafe church também de noite. Na segunda-feira eu ajudei em um funeral na igreja que era da sogra de um amigo. Foi muito tocante e muito boa a palavra, assim como todas as homenagens. Espero que Deus esteja com eles, confortando-os neste momento dolorido e difícil.

Esta semana eu gostaria de falar sobre o nosso trabalho na região Furness. Temos 19 cidades que a gente ajuda na região. Em alguns lugares, há um "grande" grupo que atende toda uma faixa, pelo baixo número de adolescentes. Mas é bastante motivador quando vemos que as pessoas se esforçam de coração para fazer uma reunião legal. Acredito que Deus vai agir intensamente aqui em Ulverston e na região. O trabalho com as escolas é uma das portas para mudar a situação daqui e alcançar o coração dos adolescentes. É muito bom saber que Deus está cuidando de cada decisão que nós estamos tomando aqui, unindo os nossos corações e forças para ver a juventude de Ulverston crescer, não apenas em números, mas sim em espírito e em verdade.

Bom... por hoje é isso pessoal ... ^ ^

Obrigado por ler...

A gente se vê por aí....

Well...A week later... Bom...uma semana atrasado...

Hey Folks,

How is everything? I hope that everything is going Ok…

As I said on my last post, "what a good birthday week I had this year". Lots of nice surprises and fun at the same day. Well, it was my first birthday outside Brazil and I enjoyed it with all the differences.

On Thursday, I met my mentor’s family which lives around Grange-Over Sands. It was really nice to hang out in his town and have a nice talk with him. He is British but he speaks a little bit of Portuguese and his wife is Brazilian and she can help me to understand more about the cultural differences between Brazil and England. So, I went to Carlisle to an internship training meeting. It was really nice and fun because the idea was to hang out together. Well, I think was quite nice my trip to Carlisle, even though I was really tired after that. So, while I was in Carlisle we had like a Latin American meals because at lunch time we went to “Tropeiro”, a Brazilian restaurant, and then I cooked fajitas for dinner with Ligia’s help. I liked out time there chatting with the other interns and Kristian’s family, it was really nice. And this was the rest of my birthday’s week.

On last week we have some things that happened, like we had our first meeting with everyone that works with teenagers in H2O or Life Groups. I think that was a good meeting which helped to dream together. We had our first prayer meeting on UVHS (Ulverston Victoria High School) which I think was quite interesting there. On Thursday, Vic and I went to Broughton in Furness to see a youth club there which was quite good. So, I think basically is that besides the office work and the things that usually I do like Life Groups, etc.

On this Weekend, it was quite good because I went to play bowling with a new guy around here and it was nice time. I went to play Risk with the Ensolls which is like a game in Brazil that we call War. On Sunday, was Vic's commissioning which was nice and had a lot of people there. Bishop Robert was there to do the commissioning and to preach. It was so nice meet him after the service, because before was a little bit hard because we got a lot to do before the service starts. 

So, on this week we had our first prayer meeting, as I said before, and those prayer meetings that we are going to have are an idea so the teenagers could relax a little bit, pray, share their lives and have lunch together. We will probably help more schools in the Furness deanery as well.

Well, even though when tough times come, I am really pleased to be here and it has been a really good experience here. It is nice to feel appreciated and that they care about me here as well.

And that’s all for now folks!

See you around…

Ha det…^^

Dae galera,

Como estão vocês por aí? Espero que tudo bem ...

Como eu disse na minha última postagem, "Que semana que eu tive a do meu aniversário que eu tive este ano". Muitas surpresas boas e legais no mesmo dia . Bem, foi meu primeiro aniversário fora do Brasil e eu curti bastante.

Na quinta-feira , eu conheci a família do meu mentor que mora perto de Grange-Over Sands. Foi muito bom dar uma volta pela cidade dele e ter uma boa conversa com ele. Ele é britânico, mas ele fala um pouco de Português, e a esposa dele é brasileira e ela pode me ajudar a entender mais sobre as diferenças culturais entre Brasil e Inglaterra. Depois de visitar o meu mentor, eu fui para Carlisle para uma reunião com os outros Interns. Foi muito bom e divertido, porque a idéia era mais passarmos um tempo juntos. Bom, eu acho que a viagem em si para Carlisle foi muito boa, mas voltei muito cansado para Ulverston. Mas enquanto eu estava em Carlisle tivemos almoço e jantar latino-americano, porque na hora do almoço fomos para um restaurante brasileiro chamado " Tropeiro ". E de noite, eu fiz fajitas com uma grande ajuda da Ligia . Eu curti passar um tempo conversando e brincando com os outros interns e com a família do Kristian, foi muito bom o tempo que passamos juntos. E este foi o resto da semana do meu aniversário.

Na semana passada, tivemos algumas coisas que aconteceram que foram muito boas, como primeira reunião com os que ajudam nos grupos de adolescentes H2O ou Life Groups. Acredito que era necessário e foi muito boa a reunião, pois ajudou a colocar todos em sintonia. Nós tivemos nossa primeira reunião de oração na escola UVHS (Ulverston Victoria High School), o que foi um tanto quanto interessante lá. Na quinta-feira, Vic e eu fomos para um grupo de adolescentes em Broughton in Furness. Então, eu acho que basicamente é isso, além do trabalho de escritório e outras coisas como o Life Groups, etc.

Neste de semana, eu fui jogar boliche com um cara que é novo por aqui. Eu fui jogar Risk com os Ensolls, que é igual a War. No domingo, foi o comissionamento da Vic, o que foi muito legal pois tinha bastante gente para prestigiá-la . Bispo Robert estava lá para fazer o comissionamento e foi bom conhecê-lo pessoalmente depois do culto, porque antes foi um pouco difícil, porque tinhamos muitas coisas para resolver antes do culto.

Então, como disse anteriormente, essa semana tivemos nossa primeira reunião de oração no UVHS e essas reuniões de oração que vamos ter é uma idéia para que os adolescente pudessem relaxar, orar compartilhar suas vidas e almoçar juntos. Nós provavelmente teremos mais escolas aos arredores para ajudar. 

Bom, mesmo em tempos difíceis que às vezes tenho, estou muito feliz por estar aqui. Tem sido uma experiência muito boa estar aqui. E é bom saber que eles gostam de mim e que se preocupam comigo.

E por enquanto é isso aí!

A gente se vê por aí ...
