On Saturday a group of us went into Birmingham City Center for the day. In honor of the opening of the new Birmingham City Library, an arts festival was being held with music, dancing, and performances outside near the library. We walked around, only got a little lost, and explored the area. I got to learn some of city's history in the Birmingham Arts Museum.
I took a bunch of pictures and would really love to post some, but have tried several times and been unable to upload them. The quality of my internet connection depends greatly on how many other people are using it at the same time. Often there are 3 or 4 people trying to Skype at once, which uses up a lot of the connection. I will keep trying and will hopefully post some pictures separately sometime.
Today (Monday) we are learning how to do street evangelism and later this afternoon we will actually go out onto the streets of Halesowen and do just that. I am so nervous. This is not what I signed on for, but it is part of the training that everyone receives.
Tomorrow we leave for four days on Adventure Week. It is all very hush-hush, so we don't know where we will be going or what we will be doing. I will not be bringing my laptop, so I will post something on Saturday about that.
Please pray that I stay healthy this week. Several people were sick when they got here and since then various nasty bugs have been spreading amongst everyone. I feel I am starting to come down with something and would hate to get sick just as we leave.
So, how did the street evangelizing go?
