Off to Canada!



God is amazing! Jenny still can't get a visa, but God provides funds for me to fly out to Canada to see her and her family instead. So I will now fly out to Ottawa from Gatwick on Thursday 14th September and spend just over a week with the Mosher Clan. I'm really excited. I will come back to the UK on 23rd September. I have instructions to take Cadburys chocolate and Ringtons tea!

The last week here at Capernwray is going well. It is very different to other weeks, as the guests pretty-much do their own thing. Most of them are more mature (aka zimmer wielding), so things like the climbing wall, mountain bikes and volleyball are out and bridge competitions and snoozing are the order of the day! I have the opportunity to listen to more lectures and I am also helping to redecorate a small office which will be used by my friends Ian and Jo (who I met in spring school) who are returning as RAs (Resident Assistants) and will work closely with the students.

I am really looking forward to seeing all the MCF/242 guys at Sizewell Hall at the weekend, so be there or be....well, you know, like a circle...but with corners!

End of a Capernwray Summer



It's now the last week of the summer here at Capernwray and I will be quite glad to finish. The summer has been a fantastic experience, but I am exhausted and could do with a break before the start of winter bible school starts. I will be returning home on Friday 8th September and will then be heading over the Sizewell Hall for our Church weekend.

Jenny has had great problems getting a new visa which is very difficult for us both. We had hoped that she would be coming back to the UK in the next few weeks and she would then have been able to meet the family (both Gants and MCF family). She has so far been refused a new visa and we were both pretty upset at this. However, we see that God is at work and through a very kind gift, it now looks like I will be able to fly out to Canada over the next few weeks to see Jenny which is just great. It is possible that if she gets a visa in the mean time, she may come back to the UK with me.

This week is Summer Studies. Most of the guests this week are of more mature years and there is a large party of American women. They descended on me at breakfast and it was a bit like eating with the Golden Girls. They kept asking me to say words in my quaint little o' English accent!!

Anyway, hope to see you all soon and tell you all my other news.
