I went up to Leicester this week for a day to see the church and meet the people!
I first met my line manager for the year Elaine(or E-Laine!) and her husband Martin - 2 very cool people. My image of Elaine on the phone was very differnt to the real life image, she is in fact very hip and "with it" (Elaine was apparantly voted the best line manager in Leicester last year!)
I then met Maxine - a crazy woman - hehe!
The Minister, Tim and his family put me up for the night, they're a really lovely family with 2 boys.
I went to the Holiday club at the church on Thursday Morning - there were so many kids and it was a really busy morning with loads crammed in... it was really good!
The church is really family orientated and everyones always round everyone elses house all the time and stuff - there's a real sense of community. I was introduced to so many people over the 24 hours and I really can't remember most of the names! Sorry!
I met my host for the year, Peter a really nice chap and I've got what sounds like a penthouse suite at the top of the house! Thanks Pete!
Oh and a big shout out to some of the kids that I can remember - Joel, Alex, Grace, Joe, James, Ben (the 4 year old with the funky hair), Ailsbeth (if that's spelt right and charlotte - Happy Birthday! And to all the others - there were so many!
It was really sad leaving you all but i'll be back next month!
