Crazy week!

Hello to whoever is following this blog!
Been another busy week of preparations training and stressing about lots of stuff to get done before my first camp next week- mon till fri.
Monday and Tuesday just gone I went to a first Aid course in central Perth which was so good. really enjoyed it because I had always wanted to do one because Mum and Ella (both nurses) had inspired me to from when ella started her course. The lady who ran it from St johns ambulance service was so passionate about what she was talking about and it was so infectious. Its such an important skill to learn basic first aid because you never know when you may need it, and there is nothing more rewarding than helping perserving someones life. So I now have Bronze Medallion and First Aid up my sleave!

Wednesday, today and tomorrow we have been preparing ourselves for the camp on monday with a Catholic Primary school from outside of Perth. Its going to be so much fun but So much hard work. The four main activities we are doing are rafting, Caving, Beach olymipics this massive wide game, and a lighthouse walk. We are staying in cabins for the first 3 nights then the last night is a camp out, so we will be pitching tents and cooking round a camp fire. There is also a small gruop time at the end of each day called 'Warriuka time' where each group leader (i am one of them) has to plan a debrief of the day- link what ever we were doing to a topic then depending on the school and christian backgroud you link it to the bible and christian methods. So Caving would be linked to fear, then you could link fear to trusting in god, and jesus being the light of the world. We are trying to bring a fresh perspective of what christianity is to these children so making it exciting and passionate needs to come out through our planned sessions.

This avo (used avo especially for antonia!)we had a planning warriuka time talk by this famous speaker called Geoff Westlake. he was so helpful and made things so much clearer for me.

Tomorrow we are packing the rafts and the 4wd and trailors ready for monday 7 am start!! (aparently that is not too bad!)

Really looking forward to this weekend bevause im going to stay with emily and me her and brain are going to two different churches in perth- The two massive ones that hold like 700 people in the audience! I think they are all Hillsong influenced/ lead. sat eve is Riverview and Sun morn is Victory Life. Hopefully be able to meet more people our age there!
After the camp next week I am mving into emilys house for two weeks (south perth) then after that i have another camp. Then after that camp I am moving back into the people who i was living with in the first 5 days. I am moving around quite alot this month so it will be so nice to feel settled after this month has past.

Hopefully I will be able to write on here before camp on monday. If I dont get round to it I will post how camp went next weekend. =)
Hope everthing in england is good for you all x
