A small update

I have now been in England for 3 months, 1 week and 5 days. I was told that it would probably rain like all the time so I came well prepared. I packed my red wellies and my yellow rain coat thinking “I’ll look fab even in the rain”! I've only warn my gear once. Disappointed! Maybe after Christmas!

Two weeks ago me and the boys left for another training week and this time we stayed at a Priory in Aylesford outside of London. It was so beautiful and the main buildings where exactly like I imagined it to be. The place where calm and peaceful and you left feeling refreshed and filled by Gods spirit. It was lovely spending time with the rest of our Essential group, catching up and focusing on God’s grace which where the theme for the week.

Christmas is upon us and I've done a bunch of Christmassy things these first weeks of December. Last week me and boys where in charge of the decorations for the hall but it ended up quite quickly with me taking charge, telling them what to do. Oops! 

In five days I’m flying back to Sweden for my Christmas holiday and when I get back again me and the boys are swapping around so I’ll be working with the church leaders for the next three months. It’s been a great working with the children but at the same time it feels like it’s time to do something different and develop in something new. 

Here comes a bunch of pictures from the last couple of weeks!

Moses, prayers and worship.

I actually wrote this post a month ago but completely forgot to post it, typical me! Better late then never, right? :)

Hello friends!

It feels like the time goes by so quickly and it’s only like two more weeks till December. Gosh!

As I told you in my latest update, we had a holiday club during half term, where we focused on the life of Moses. We have a brilliant children’s worker who planned the week so well and I believe that the children will remember and talk about his story for a long time.

This is what we did on the Moses part:

1   1. We saw bits from the movie Prince of Egypt. Such an amazing film and possibly one of my favorites!

     2. We talked about it so they could listen and discuss. One of the questions my group got was: what their favorite part in the movie was? Almost everyone said, “when the sheep ran away and he had to chase it”- awesome, that was my favorite part as well! But one of the girls thought about it for a while and then said, “when God came down and spoke to him”.  Yes!                                                                            

     3.We had sheets that they filled in so that they could think about what happened in the story. When they where done whit that most of the sheets turned into paper aeroplanes. 

So many different ways of learning and I have had a few children talking about it already. Amazing!

Last week was another special week for us as we had a 24/7 prayer week. That means that every hour during the week, someone is praying even during the night. I helped setting up the room (that turned out beautifully) and people could come down there to pray or they did it where they felt comfortable. Can you imagine all the prayers, praises, visions, answers etc that was said or shown during that week?

I had a few night sessions so the beginning of this week was quite hard but it was so powerful to spend so many hours praying and praising God. And I think it was the perfect ending of the reunion weekend! We have so much to look forward to!

This weekend I’m going to London to be a part of a worship band for a youth conference this Saturday. I’m really excited and it feel good to actually take a small break from Bedford cause it can be quite overwhelming and tiring after a while.

Love
