Holidays

I have not posted anything recently as I am away on holidays at the moment, I am in warsaw with my friends Claire and Eileen . It has been good to get away but it is hard to believe the autumn term is upon us VERY soon, ( it is too close for comfort) . Bye for now charis x

Still no broadband!

My broadband saga continues, it was to be installed on Wednesday (this was the 3rd appointment to install it) but no one ever showed up to do it, the last 2 times i was phoned to say 'the cabinet' wasn't ready! now i am being told that they do not know when it will be ready 'the ports are not ready' i was told it could take minutes, days, weeks , months or years!!!!!  it took them since the 22nd june to tell me this!!! I was SO upset and annoyed by it and now I have to go back to the drawing board and re order with another provider. I know in the scheme of things it seems such a small thing but i use the internet for work and it is very difficult without it.

week 3 day 5 ...the last day!!!!

The last 2 days went well, the disruptive guys came came back but it worked well to take them out for their own bible time. I am REALLY tired but glad to have finished well. Today was the first morning we had rain and so we had to play our games inside but we have been really blessed with the weather over the last 3 weeks. thanks for your prayers over the last three weeks thanks charis x

week 3 day 3

Thanks for your prayers, we had 20 kids again today and it ran a lot smoother than yesterday!
 The most disruptive of the older boys didn't come back today so things were quieter to begin with but we had also arranged for the older guys to go out with 2 of the guys from the beach team for their own bible time and a bit of football too (I am not sure how this went as the team have to run off for lunch straight after club as they are on the beach at 2:30 each afternoon, i will find out and let you know.) thanks for your prayers. We have just 2 days left so pray it goes well and that some of the new kids might want to come to club each week too, thanks charis x

week 3 day 2

we got off to a great start yesterday with 15 kids and they were all well behaved and everything ran nice and smoothly...today was a different scenario we had some more kids, 20 in total, which was great but among those were some older boys who just messed and messed all club long making things difficult for us and they were disrupting the club for the others too. Please pray we will know how to deal with these kids tomorrow, I hope that I can get some of the team to take the older guys out for a bible study time /chat so that they won't be as disruptive. It was nice to see some new kids and I had a phone call from a parent yesterday (who saw our flyer) asking if they could bring their kids today, we have not had contact with them in the past. thanks for your prayers but please pray on thanks charis x

week 3 preparation

Week 3 of summer camp is fast approaching...it starts this coming monday and it is on in carn dubh where I usually run a weekly bible club. Please pray for the preparations this weekend , for the team to work well together, for the kids to come (especially on monday, which is a holiday here) , for strength and energy for me as I am getting very tired by now and for God to be at work. thanks for your continued support charis
