Over the wekend...

So...let's see...

Friday we met the new students coming on board for a year of discipleship training. They're cool and they seem really excited to be here (one of them even got a vision of looking out to sea a week before she heard she would be here...on the seafront!)

Saturday I moved in and last night I slept in my new flat (that's an appartment in case you didn't know. Appartments here are what we would call condominiums). I STILL have not met my new roommates yet!! They got in at like 3am and I was like "no way am I getting up now to meet them". Oh well...maybe later tonight.

saturday evening I went over to Alex Hamiltons for dinner and to watch the England Vs. macedonia football game. Alex and his wife are a really nice couple from the church and two of their kids are in the youth group at church. After that DJ came and picked me up and I went and saw "Crash" with Dj, Matt, Jess, kate, and Verity. Good movie...

Today at church I played drums and it was a good time. God really showed up and there was even an encore for "How Great Is Our God". I don't know how much I'll really use that gift here cause there is so much other stuff going on and as much as I love the drums, part of me wants to focus on other things.

After worship I led the Grapes class (12-17 age group). It went OK and I look forward to the next few weeks when we tackle Hebrews chapter 11!

After church there was an open house sort of thing at the home of one of the church members, and it was a nice time. i sat and talked mostly with the new comers which was pretty cool.
So this next week will be finding out what I need over at the new place. I'm a bit frustraited over not being able to find a power converter to plug my american electronics into (and then from there into the wall sockets here). I may get back over to Portsmouth this week to see if the stores there have what I'm looking for.

OH! i did go swimming yesterday with Jan and two of his three boys which was cool. I'm also looking at getting a membership there so I can get back into swimming three days a week.

So there's my weekend. Hope all of you across the pond are good!
