Anyway, more on to the weekend. We arrived in Harpenden in the afternoon by train and were greeted by Jon Mark (he needs a haircut). We were then taken to the base and we put our stuff down and went and ate some fantastic bangers and mash. After food we helped Jon Mark tidy up some of the base that he is responsible for (he's staff now). After that, was the session (bare in mind that I may have mixed up the order of these events but, meh to that). The session contained some amazing worship and some fantastic speaking (seriously, this guy was as funny as Brian Raegan). The speaker spoke on Humility and radical servant-hood; it was rather fantastic. At the end of the meeting I saw Dorothy and an epic "OH MY GOSH I'VE NOT SEEN YOU IN AN AGE" moment ensued. Eventually after hanging out in one of the buildings Kieran and I headed to the Jon Mark's tent and fell asleep. The weekend involved a lot of catchup time and fellowship. Also, some time was spent drinking the Oval special mocha on base, which has both Irish cream and white chocolate in. I kind of wish Costa did the Oval special mocha. Kieran and I left on Sunday about midday. It was so good to spend time with Jon Mark and Dorothy for even just a weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with them.
I'm now in Beeston, doing work experience in Nottingham University's department of Physics and Astronomy. I'm staying with my grandmother's friend's niece and nephew. They are a lovely family and it's actually really nice staying with them. The bike ride too and from the university is slightly less pleasant, but at least I'm getting exercise. I'm far too busy these days. At least I have a week off next week to just hang out with people.
