Practically Gordon Ramsay by this point.

I finally managed to upload one photo of my current home, the Seamill Centre. Savour this moment because photo number two might never come as we have the worst internet connections you could possibly have.

We were assigned our "practical ministry" teams this week, which is code for chores. Georgia is in hospitality and I am working in the kitchen. I find it interesting because I was also assigned to kitchen prep when I worked at Rockridge Canyon last summer, so this is the second time I've ended up there without seeking it or feeling qualified in any way. (I rarely cook at home, and when I do it's just a stir fry because you can just throw things in a pan randomly and no matter how incompetent you are it will turn out fine.)

It is very different then working at Rockridge where I was only allowed to touch the fruits and vegetables. Day two on the job the chef was out of town so my two co workers and myself made the entire meal ourselves! I made the cornbread, which wasn't all that good but I followed the recipe exactly, so blame Mr. YWAM for picking a crappy recipe. One guy Jeffrey, is very southern and was sitting beside me at dinner and complaining loudly about how it was nothing like "real" cornbread, and I would turn to glare at him and he would make loud "mmmm" noises and give me the thumbs up. Apparently in the South they think people can't hear you talking right beside them as long as you're not talking directly to them. It's so much fun and a very easy work environment. Kendra, one of the girls who works with me is one of the most maniacally nice people I have ever met so she practically punches me out of the way to take the undesirable jobs.

I'm learning everyday and God is doing so much good right now in the Centre and in Scotland, however I still need to sort out my thoughts so I will share about the lectures another day. Please send mail, it's so, so welcome. The address is in my first post.

  1. Hi Vicky. Glad to hear you made it there eventually. Christa and I can commiserate with you on the crummy internet access because we did a blog on our big holiday last year and had to put up with the campsite wireless. Anyway - great to hear things are going well. We are following your blog and Georgia's but we can't seem to comment on her blog without an account of some kind. Maybe we'll figure it out.

    I was at a care group with your Mom and the Schultz's last night.

    God Bless,
