Don't Cry for Me Argentina!!!

hey folks

i you are all enjoying ur summer holidays even though the weather isn't that great!! i think i owe u guys a huge apology for not writing on my blog for ages and leaving u all in the dark in wat i've been upto during last 2 months!!
well i've got much to tell you, so i'm going to start about the Summer Step Orientation, which was held last month. on the 26th June a friend and i went down to farm in East Sussex for Summer Step Team Orientation for a weekend. i really had fab time meeting my team as well as meeting other friends from last year and in the past. during the weekend we attended lots of sessions, which to me kind of like a routine cos i've done it before for 3 or 4 years on a row but it was fun telling the steppers especially my friend Lisa, as it was her first time going on Step. the weather was absolutely fab but very very hot that we all ended up sweating and getting sticky!! but i wasn't a happy bunny on saturday cos at that time i didn't sleep well cos of freezing night, so i was really cranky all day and wasn't really my usual self =( anyway i had a fab weekend but wasn't too pleased about a long journey back to Portsmouth that Lisa and i took on 28th June!!
before i went away for the Orientation weekend, i did a sponsored walk to raise money for my trip to Argentina, i tell u organising it was a total shambles lol cos it was last at the last minute but it went really well plus i had a great time doing it with my friends and we had a lovely weather!! i've raised £220.10, did 5.2miles along the seafront and i'm very proud to say my poor feet suffered cos i wasn't wearing appropriate shoes lol!! thanks guys for generous donations, gifts, prayers, interest on my trip and support, i really do appreciate it alot!!
from beginning of this month and now, i've been extremely busy getting things ready to go nxt wednesday (29th July!!). there was so many things that i had to do, that at times i ended up going loony by trying to decide wat to buy, wat to bring, how many woolies i need to bring etc...plus on top of that trying to sort out my paper work i.e. passport etc...doing talks at my church, preparing for the sunnday school etc...i hate to admit this but i'm not that really organised lol always leaving things to the last minute ;) also i'm trying not to worry too much about my role as a translator for my team cos it's a huge responsbility and especialling with my hearing impairment, although there would be another girl will be sharing the role. so i would really appreciate alot if u guys can pray for us as translators that things will go smoothly but also as a team that we would gel together as a group. for our safety to and from Argentina, for the project, for our general health, that we may get well with our host and Barrio Del Viso community!!
have a great week and may the Lord Bless you =)
