First 2 Days in England

Well we arrived in England after a very long day. Several of our students lead the way by not choosing to sleep - especially Carly and Letitia. And boy were they giddy!! It was a great flight, no problems whatsoever. We were able to eat, sleep, and relax.
We arrived in London at 10:30am on Feb.14th - Valentine's Day. Never thought I would share Valentine's with 12 students, but I did. When we arrived we had some lunch, then started our training session lead by Ronnie and Chris (local youth pastor). During this time, we were getting sleepy, so they decided to stop and take us for a walk. It was very much needed. The temp had been around 10 degrees, warmer than home. Great to be outside walking. We went into downtown Bedworth. We came back to the church and finished our debriefing. Our schedule is very full!!
That night we had Valentine's supper together - we were taken to an Indian restaurant and had a fantastic meal. The senior pastor and his wife from the church came with us, so it was great getting to speak with him. But through the course of the dinner our team was all fading fast. It was kinda funny to see. Needless to say, sleep was needed, so we called it a night because Sunday was coming.
Sunday was jam packed with stuff. Our team lead all the kids ministry that morning, 2 different groups. Taylor lead worship and did fantastic. Other team members helped with teaching and games. These kids from England are so well behaved Candra said, we just wanted one of them to be naughty for a moment. Funny. As they lead with kids, Torry and I had the opportunity to be in the main service. Torry lead some worship with their team - as he did a special and then continued with them. I was able to bring some thoughts to the congregation, it was a great service for sure.
After this, our host families came and joined us for lunch, a smorgasbord, good to meet with them and get to know them better. Ashton and Everett love their host home, they were fed bacon and eggs and bragged to everyone.
Then we practised the afternoon away - because that night I lead worship with some of our team and others from the church. We lead a youth/young adult service. Micah brought the Word, and did amazing. Our students performed dramas, ministered at the altar, and sang. Then to conclude the night, we ate pizza and drank soda, and ate crisps (chips).
But we are tired, still adjusting, but having a great time. Will log in later with more report.
