Getting Ready

Hey everyone,

So last year I went to Ethiopia and I found that having a blog was a really useful way of letting my friends, family and supporters know what I was up to.

Well, this year I am adventuring off to the States for two and half months on this amazing volunteer programme with the Navigators (the organisation I work for!). Obviously, I'm gonna be gone quite a while, and I get the impression I'm going to be busy busy busy once I'm there and keeping in touch with people might not be easy. And also, expensive. Boo. Thus I will blog!

Here's a link to the website which explains what on earth I'm doing:

Basically, it's a two month intensive Navigator international training programme. I'm going to be joined by 33 other Nav workers from all over the world! We'll have daily prayer times, Bible studies, engage in team activites and have loads of seminars, as well as get to do some voluntary work at the amazing Glen Eyrie Conference Center!

So, i'm going to be staying at the Glen Eyrie conference center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It's right in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and is just beautiful! Check out the website: http://www.gleneyrie.org/

I hope that gives you in idea of where I am, and what i'm up to!

I'd better go. I'm at the packing stage as I leave in five days!

For those who pray amongst you, please pray that I have a safe and easy flight over and both myself and my luggage arrive in one piece! Also, please pray for the safe journeys for the other 33 people coming from all parts of the world. Please pray that we all have an really amazing time there and get to meet God and serve Him!

Thanks so much - and enjoy the blog! :)
