Training Weekend - May Bank Holiday

On the first May Bank Holiday, both the Hungary and Hong Kong/China team went to Windsor for a training weekend.

This was the second time the Hungary team at met, so it was really a chance for us to get to know each other, learn about our strengths and weaknesses, see how we would fit in the team, learn about Hungary and what we would be doing there as well as general admin things like money, vaccinations, first aid, who will do what and when etc etc.

It was a good weekend and I came away with new friends, knowledge of what Hungary is like, what we will be doing well, bruises from playing football, and jobs such as being part of the core fundraising team for the quiz, first aider for the team (Lord, please help me and the fellow team members to not get sick), cooking duties and one of the official photographers for the trip (that means combining the my mum's passion of cooking with my dad's passion of photography, so definately their kid!)

I also came away with a new thirst for mission and an itch to get away to Hungary and be surrounded by the Hungarian people and their culture, playing games with them, sharing our different cultures with them and teaching them about Christ and His unconditional love for us, basically just sharing the Good News and the team's individual's stories of how we came to have a relationship with our heavenly Father.

But at this time there was still 3 months before we left, still so much to do.....
