one day carla and i went to southend.... we drove all the way there for the sole purpose of getting donuts. they have these amazing donuts.... oh man they are ridiculously good!
yeah glow stick power. we went to a bonfire party and they handed out glow sticks to the kids.... yep i was considered a kid at this party. but hey if it snags me a glow stick i don't mind!
a nice relaxing evening in we decided to do face masks. Charl and i just like to be chill like that.
this is us on our pilgrimage week. we went to the oldest recorded town in Britain, Colchester. we had to set up two prayer rooms that week and this is the wailing wall that we set up at one of them. It is where we can write down our prayer... it pretty sweet.
here i am at outside a pretty old english church
this is one of the other prayer rooms we set up. we set this one up for 12-16 year old girls so we built this den that they could crawl into. it was really cool and turned out amazing!
here is the finish product of the prayer room. the room was completely bare when we walked in. we had to set up that tent. the den is to the right it was an african theme prayer room so we had drums and lions up too!
here is Charl mid-prayer room set up! it can be a lot of work setting up a prayer room... and breaks are needed
we went shopping one day and i found an elephant carving! i love elephants and wanted this really bad... but it was like 100s of pounds... so i just took a picture instead.
