^^ Are we playing the "complete that sentence" game? O.K. 10 days to go - how exciting - cant wait to go out and receive the blessings that [Jesus has planned and promised for us as we venture abroad to proclaim the Gospel as servants of Christ.] Am I right? :P O.K. I'm kinda getting excited about the trip now... I just finished a dance show in Belfast there on Thursday and Friday so now I'm getting round to buying bug spray, collecting tablets from teh doc's and preparing physically, mentally and spiritually for the "BIG TRIP"! Over and out trout! + Jesus Love! xD

Plenty of games? My life is one big game so no sweat there! I'm also seriously considering re-introducing old school games such as 'Rock Parer Scissors', 'table football', 'Mercy', 'charades', etc. What you think dude? :P This WILL be the Mission that dreams are made of! :D
