Hey Everyone!
So today was Day1 of my two week induction to Manchester.
It has been amazing!!!!
I will try and do a little bit of a catch up of whats happened since Saturday,
We moved in on Saturday, In my house there is Me, a Girl Called Theresa and two girls from Manchester Called Leanne and Becca.
After being in the house about 2 hours, Leanne and Becca went out to a gig, leaving me and T (the 2 Southerners)in the house by ourselves.
After 10Minuit's we realised that the hot water wasn't working...!! ISSUE. we looked for ages for switches and couldn't find any! So we phoned Matt are course leader, and he came and rescued us and showed us how to work the heating system.
Then Sunday morning, we went to our new church St Brides Old Trafford if you want to look it up! We are based on a Eden project on our Estate, so we have 3 other people who live on the estate who go to our church, but they weren't there as they had to go to another church for a friends commissioning. The people were lovely, and i think we are getting involved with pretty much everything straight away.
On our way to church, which is only a few streets away, we turned a corner and witnessed our first house raid, a few police ran past with a heavy metal door knocky down thing!!! so that was interesting! then on the way home from church we got lost...!!!
we went to pizza hut for lunch with our Eden workers which was lovely, then we went to Asda, Our asda is a bit of cultural experience in itself!! its humongous and just so many different people. and we managed to get the wrong bus home, but it was okay!
Then today was are first day at The Message HQ !
Its such a amazing building, with soo many amazing people. We had talks from a few people about different projects we're going to be involved with, and what The Message are planning for the future. There is one particular project i'm really excited for, so would appreciate prayer as i try to decide how i want to be involved. If you want to know more just ask!
We finished early today, so me and Theresa decided to try and adventure to the Trafford Centre. In theory this was fine apart from The Message is in Sharston which is nowhere near the trafford centre!!!! soo we thought a adventure would be fun! and hopped on a random bus and hoped for the best!! it turns out it was right yay! and would be quicker to use that bus in the morning to get there, and managed to change buses to get to trafford centre. I even met a guy who used to live in yeovil on the bus!! crazy.
Trafford centre was AMAZING! SOOOO incredible! i will definitely be visiting there more often. Obviously not spending money though.
Then Me and Theresa came home, and started cooking tea, then all our electrics went out... uhohhhh!!
SO i left T cooking and i went on a mission to find our fuse box, actually couldn't find it anywhere!!!! our house is huge and i searched every cupboard pulled furniture out, and couldn't find it. So T went and asked out next door neighbour where theirs is. Ours wasn't in the same place, but she said that on some of them its outside at the back. Now, this normally wouldn't be a problem, apart from the fact that our landlord has lost our back door key!!!! SO we phoned Matt again!!
So Matt came round, and found are fuse box in a cupboard almost instantly!! but, it wasn't that. Our house it the only house that is actually being rented and that the message don't own or haven't used before. and it turned out that we're on a metre with a card, and we have to go to the little corner shop to top it up with electric!!! SO Matt sorted that out, and we're now running on our emergency £7 !
That's pretty much whats happened so far! My house mates are amazing, they are all properly on fire for God. We are having so much fun. I am truly loving it.
Its still slightly weird being away from home, and knowing how far away everyone is, but this is totally where i am meant to be for now. I might even be getting a northern accent!!! eeek!!
