I have had a very excitable day, and now i am very tired. The following are some of the causes of my excitedness:
1. Lots of the hymns at both services today were well known, classic hymns that are just great, eg Love Divine and Be Thou my Vision (all i needed was Matty to get excited with).
2. This afternoon i went to an international festival in a local park where they had music and dancing from around the world and lots of stalls, including a stall which sold Fairly Traded, Rainbow coloured toys (I know -WOW!!!). The whole atmosphere also got me excited because it kinda reminded me of Greenbelt.
3. At this festival I helped on a Make Poverty History stall where I persuaded loads of people to vote for Trade Justice (dispite some people saying 'trade justice?, which party is that?'!) and a very cool guy gave me a HUGE roll of Make Poverty History tape, which I am hoping to do something (any suggestions?) with in Swansea.
4. I have just started packing my stuff to take back to Swansea tomorrow, which made me excited at the thought of seeing everyone again!!!
As you can see, I have had quite an excitable day.
Ohhh, I am doing a sponsored silence on Thursday to raise money for Christian Aid week. For 24 hours i am only going to communicate in sign language, with the hope to improve my signing (because i'm really not very good) and to raise money for Christian Aid. If you would like to sponsor me you can do so directly via the Christian Aid website. If you very kindly decide to do so, i would appeciate it if you would leave a comment to let me know how much you gave, so that I can work out the total amount raised, but don't feel you have to do so. I will also try to persuade either Ramblin' Folkie, Duracell or Bimble to confirmed that I did complete it, as they will probably see me on Thursday.
Anyway, I'm gonna go and finish packing and carry on being excited before I collapse in bed.
