WELL, where do I start?
Last night I was back with the Eyres Monsell team at their Sutton-in-the-Elms Baptist Church base.
After a time of prayer, which was great, it was time to get wet, wet, wet (weren't they a 90's pop group?)
They had a water slide, which the kids really enjoyed and a few members of our team did as well.
I thought I'd managed to stay quite dry (I kept saying I couldn't possibly join in as I was holding my microphone and mini disc recorder)...that was until I went to interview Luke and George...big mistake...I managed to find myself in the middle of a wet man-hug...eeugh!!
A great time was had by all!
Today, after not managing to find the Wigston team (sorry guys!) I went to the park in Eyres Monsell where their team had set up the cage (it reminds me a bit of Gladiators from the 90's, I wanted to shout 'Awooga' and, adopting a deep voice, announce "And now, ladies and gentlemen, right here in the heart of Leicestershire, it's time for...The Cage.")
Loads of children came and took part which was fantastic and we were able to have some great conversations about God with them and a couple of members of our team shared their testimonies which, I believe, really had an impact.
One of the park's other attractions was a rather difficult to stay on roundabout...somehow I was talked onto it and I lasted, oh, about a minute before I was off...in the air... and, down into the surrounding chippings.
For some reason, our team seemed to think this had been very funny...I can't imagine why.
This has been a fantastic week which has seen God working in us and, through us, to the people (young and old) of the communities we've been serving.
I've managed to get around three of the teams; Saffron Lane, Braunstone Town and Eyres Monsell (they seem to think they're my favourites, but I couldn't possibly comment!) and they've all gone above and beyond the call of duty to show, after prayer, and with love, God's heart for Leicestershire and its people in words and actions.
I take my hat off to them all...you've all been incredible!
Oh, before I forget, Becky would like me to point out that she didn't fancy Hope'08 film man Paul, who visited us on Wednesday...she just thought he was good looking.
As ever I'm happy to clarify the situation.
I wonder if I should e-mail Paul and let him know?
