Time's getting short!

My blog is feeling lonely.

Having been abandoned for almost a year, I have decided, due to the proximity of my next trip, that I will start it up again. I shall actually attempt to write more often, as it will help my English writing skillzzzz!

Exactly one month today I shall be in a plane flying across the Atlantic to Atlanta (which I thought was in Alaska until a week ago - that's almost as bad as Philippa's geographical knowledge!) and then onto Buenos Aires!

There we go, now you all know! Once again.

I have no interesting picture to put up today... ruuuubbish!

All i can say is... I hope I win Articulate tonight! WOOOOO!!!!!

Feliz año nuevo chicos!

I'm learning... to cook!

Oh yes!

Even though this may have been a failed attempt...I'm getting there!!!

Working in the Summer

Firstly, sorry for not keeping you up to date. But...What have I been up to!?

After coming back from holiday in Brazil (I'll post some pics soon) we were thrown straight back into work for Jesus Summer Camp 2010 - the first camp that Jesus Warriors (together with Iglesia de la Cruz and the other churches in the area) have undertaken.

On the 10th of February around 1,300 young people from all across Latin America came together for four unforgetable days. Aside from challenging preaches, and intimate worship all the participants enjoyed live bands, swimming pool, paintball, bouncy castles, sports, electronic rave night and much more! (And also! A prayer tent, headed up by myself and a friend in the Church.. whit whoo!) The whole week there was blazing sun - even though the week before and the week after there was torrential rain and even flooding in the Capital - it was, in that aspect, different from English Summer Camps! Muuuch different from Soul Survivor!

I worked in 3 areas: artistic - designing and painting signs before hand, and helping an art workshop
prayer - we set up and manned a prayer tent
worship - singing with Jesus Warriors Worship

And man...! Afterwards... I WAS SHATTERED! I'm still recovering from the cough I got on the last night.

It's so rewarding seeing all the behind scenes, (and helping out a bit), and then being able to see the results... It's incredible what God did! Quite seriously!

There are many photos on facebook... but I've collected a few for you guys here:

That's all for now... as it took too long uploading the photos!

Why Polly should never work in an Office

Do you want to know how many times I have got electric shocks this week?

I have a little habit of not wearing shoes much... not too sure why, but I love not wearing shoes, it makes me feel comfortable.

I didn't know / realise before this week that this is dangerous when you're working with computers. I didn't realise that if I touched the inside or back of a computer when I didn't have my shoes on, I would actually get an electric shock. As it had never happened to me before (not that I generally going round dismantelling computers in bare feet) I didn't think twice.

Really, after the first time it happens you should learn... well, that surely would make sense. But, no! I do actually genuinely forget... and forget... and forget! It doesn't help that today the shoes that I'm wearing hurt my feet.

I can still feel one of the electric shocks I got a few minutes ago... my arm hurts. Hahaha.

I shall learn!

Well, I'm going to get back to copying dvd's for the Summer Camp... we have 1000 to copy, 27 days to do it in... and I go on holiday to Brazil on Saturday... So we must get a crack on!

Amorcitooooo
haha :)

p.s. WEAR YOUR SHOES... PLEASE!!!!
