It’s always Autumn in England

My first weekend at Mercy went really well.  I like the church Abundant Life a lot, so that was good….maybe Evan and I won’t have to go through the hassle of trying to find a church.  But I definately want to visit a couple more times before I decide on anything.  It was a guest preacher, so maybe I won’t like it as much next time…who knows.

My biggest struggle at Mercy was trying to use the computer….they use Apples and I hated every minute of it.  Every document I tried to write was so small I could not read what I was typing…added onto it that the keyboard was very different to what I have at home, so my typing was even slower….and let me tell you, there is lots of paperwork to complete there.  But, the girls were fantastic.  The best part was just getting to know them and talk to them and hear their stories about how they had reached the point they are at now.  If you think of it, pray for them….they all have so many needs.

Also, after talking to Kerry and Arianna, I am not going to take the Admin position.  We all just felt it was not the right place for me to be….and they will look for somewhere else within Mercy that I can fit in, so that I can be full time.  Please, please pray for the finances to come through, that is the biggest hurdle in the way.

Mercy is getting three horses next week that will live in the paddock in front of the house.  I am very excited about that.  I have not been around horses since I lived and worked at Rainbow Camp, so it will be fun to be able to ride again on a regular basis!

The countdown is on….only 7 shifts left at St Andrews…thank goodness.  Having been at the Mercy House all weekend I really do not want to go back…it will take all my patience to work there this week.  Luckily I have 4 shifts this week and then I have a week off of Annual Leave.  I am back at Mercy on the 6-9 October and then 3 shifts at St Andrews and I am done.
