Oh, what have we done since last week? Well, there was the Sound of Music. The Sound of Music was a fundraiser for YWAM Carlisle (specifically so that we could buy new chairs and could cease our unhealthy reliance on fragile and uncomfortable Garden/Yard furniture). It was a fun-filled evening wherein lots of friends and neighbours came to our base offices/classrooms dressed as some character (or object) from the film "The Sound of Music". People came as Members of The Von Trapp Family, Uncle Max, Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String, even things like "when the dog bites" or "a drop of golden sun". First off we had some dinner and fellowship, then we watched the film. During the film there was much singing along, cheering for Austrians whilst waving flags, booing Nazis, standing up and shouting random notes along with the film, and many other strange and unorthodox movie viewing practices. It was very fun, although I must admit that I personally have never even heard of something like that. In the end, everyone enjoyed themselves, and YWAM Carlisle could afford to buy 25 new chairs that won't shatter if you try to sit on them. On Monday, we the people of the BLS resumed our regular schedule, spending mornings learning about leadership and YWAM and loads of other things (which you can hear about in depth if you join the BLS). In the afternoons we've been doing all sorts of practical things that need to be done so that the upcoming DTS will be brilliant (and it will be brilliant). And in the evenings we've been enjoying getting to know each other better, as well as working to do still more things that need to be done (more brilliance).I'm not going to lie: It's been busy. We've learned lots, and we've done lots. We've prayed lots and we've laughed lots. And all these preparations for the upcoming DTS are making us madly excited about the upcoming DTS (which commences this very next Saturday). I personally can't wait!Till next time,
God Bless!
