Yeah I know...it's been awhile

Hello All! This week was a fast one, but also a long one. After my last blog, where I told you my Testimony, we finished the week with a lecture on…da da da….Singleness and Sexuality! Taught by the one and only, Sue Gilmore. For those of you who have gone to Capernwray, you’ll know Sue, because she’s been at Capernwray forever. Cutest totally British/Greek lady you’ll ever meet, hilarious to learn about what being single looks like and how she looks at all the pictures on the applications and says, “oh they’re so cute!…checking age…..darn, too young.” We also had a married couple who are connected with Capernwray come and talk about relationships and what worked for them and what didn’t. We learned a lot and I feel like I’ve learned so much more of what a Godly-relationship looks like and how it should play out. But don’t worry Mom and Dad, I haven’t got one of those relationships….yet. :P

After that we had a lazy Friday night, not really doing anything, and then a relaxing Saturday just resting and being quiet. The next week went fast, but it was exciting because our guest lecturer, was one we already had, Paul Keeys. Paul had taught us back in October how to “Walk through the Old Testament,” where we learn basically the timeline of the Old Testament through hand motions. It was so fun and crazy but a lot of signs to learn. Now he came back to teach us the New Testament, and now we have to memorize those as well. Oh boy. Test is on Wednesday, you can be praying for that. Those hand motions can get a little crazy….so don’t expect me to fully remember them when I get home ok? ;)
The week went on and then came Friday. Friday was absolutely fantastic, because a- we watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, on the big screen in the Conference Hall, and then…da da da daaaaa! The Caelic! Or “Kaley“…if you can’t pronounce it. This is basically Scottish Dancing. 2 hours of running around, dancing crazy Scottish dances, not knowing what’s going on, and laughing at all the people wearing Kilts. It was fantastic. One of my favorite Social nights so far. It was hilarious.

Saturday was when I went on my first weekend trip to……Liverpool! Home of the Beatles! Coolest place ever. The buildings are all made to look like ships, the musicians sing all over the streets, Britain’s Got Talent was holding auditions, and Beatle mania was everywhere. We walked down Matthew street, where we saw the club where the Beatles were discovered. We didn’t go in of course, because we’re good Christian Bible-students and of course you never go into a club at 1 o’clock in the afternoon! We took pictures with the statue of John Lennon, looked at Beatles-shops, bought fun souvenirs, and listened to Beatles music the entire way there. I absolutely LOVE Liverpool and want to go back sometime. One afternoon is nowhere near enough time to see everything. After taking fun jumping pictures by the docks, drinking a fantastically delicious Crème Brule latte from Costa Coffee (The Starbucks of England), and laughing a lot, we headed back home, to an intense Volleyball tournament, where one of the students would spike the ball so hard I cringed every-time it hit the floor. (He also had a volleyball scholarship, so that explains it all.)

This week we have 2 guest lecturers, 2 papers due, and lots of things going on. We’re learning about the Sermon on the Mount and Colossians. We have a paper due on either Ecclesiastes or 1^st Samuel. We have a discussion on Sermon on the Mount paper due. We have family day on Friday night where we’re heading to Trevor and Viv’s house to Christmas decorate, bake, and play games. They say November is the craziest month, and since we’re all getting tired and burned out, prayers would be appreciated. Pray that the excitement that we had on September 25^th would come back and fill us up, to keep us going until Christmas break. It’s week 8, and in Summer terms, it’s staff-depletion week. So prayer would be great. So that’s an update on what’s been going on. I’ll try and be a better blogger…once all my assignments are done of course ;)
Love you all!
