here, there and everywhere!

I'm currently sitting on a train coming back from Leeds. With me are two laptops, my back pack and an A3 box packed full of books all of which i will soon have to lug through London in order to get home. Life as a gofer is intense and always busy. Unexpected challenges have been the norm and have really stretched me during this first week.

The car journey up to leeds was interesting, to say the least. The gofer mobile (ford sierra) was packed full of books for the busy weekend of meetings and also all of Nigel's belongings from the flat. The car felt like it was dying the further we got. Upon arival at the meeting place and as i got out, i noticed that the fumes and smoke that i was smelling were not from the exaust but from the underside of the car! "Oh pants!".

This morning i took it to a local garage after browsing on my BLACKBERRY, and failed to realise that they were due to close at 1230. Oh...pants! Being required for a meeting in south england tomorrow, this presnted another problem. So here i am on the train.

One thing that George emphasises a lot is redeeming the time. He is a wirlwind so it is hard to keep up! Each morning i phone him up at 7:20 and by then he is pretty much half way through the day! he'll tell me "wow! I've just come back from a tremendous walk along the avon river." It's amazing the pace he goes at!

Constantly doing something productive is quite challenging. However it is incredible what can be achieved when those 5 or 10 minute spaces are used. No matter how much i seem to work though there is always a mass more to do, which can be a little discouraging. God has been very good to me though and has given me the strength to do my best and avoid discouragment.

I really want to thank you all for your prayers and support in this. I wouldn't be able to be here without it. God bless you all!

I will share some about holland and turning point soon. I want to also put up some pictures. Please excuse the lack of them in this post. It was writen on my phone.
