Walker Ave. Soon to be St. Wilfrid's Crescent!


Guess what, we got a house! Kristen and I will be moving in 3 weeks! I am so relieved and cannot wait to get settled into our new home. And the great part about it is that it is right between the Bilton's and the Clarke's homes (and closer to Tescos). :)


Today I am paying a visit to Brackenhill Primary School to see if that is another place I would like to volunteer. One of the sponsors in youth group works there and has invited me to come and check it out. Kristen and I have also begun to help out at the after school kid's club on Monday afternoons. So far it has been great and right up my alley. I'm teaching some of the boys how to throw a frisbee and they are really picking up on it! They grow up so fast.


The pantomime went very well last weekend. They all did such an incredible job and were all hysterical. And the best part is that now I feel closer to them and have formed better bonds after doing their make-up for a week. :) Then on Sunday evening the cast and crew went bowling to celebrate, which was excellent! Phil now owes me 4 pounds, haha.

And Just When We Thought It Was Over...

This week the circuit youth group is performing their pantomime, 'Rob Hood, and That Fellow with the Ring.' It is hysterical, by the way. Kristen and I are helping out with it so on Tuesday we went to rehearsal in the evening. About half way through, Kristen received a phone call and left the room. A few minutes later she comes jetting back into the room spewing "the police just called, we've been burgled!" Surprise, surprise. When we returned back to the flat Kristen's laptop was nowhere in sight along with some of my jewelry. Thankfully the police were here within five minutes after the alarms went off, but unfortunately not quite soon enough.

Kristen and I are doing alright. But of course, we are just so tired of having to clean up after strangers who have been rummaging through our things. Please pray that we will keep patience throughout all of this and trust in God.
