This has been a very, very busy week with not much sleep but it has been a good week!
Food| So there is a famous Texan chain of restaurants called Babe's Chicken and they specialise in Fried Chicken. We went out to eat for my host mum's birthday and this is the amount of chicken they gave us for four people!! There were about 20 pieces!! It was just too much to look at! And they serve it with creamed corn, biscuits (not at all the same as English biscuits!), salad, mashed potato, cream gravy (white not brown) and green beans. And of course all the sides are endless - just ask for more and it appears!
In other food news I've become an expert at grilled sandwiches and my favourite is salami and Monterey Jack cheese.
Okay so donuts are a popular breakfast option out here and we decided to get some this week. The donuts are very good and soft but unfortunately WAY too sweet for me so I just stick to the plain glazed ones :-)

New School| We went into a new school this week called Polytechnic High School. The school is ranked one of the worst in the Dallas Fort Worth area so we were not sure what to expect going in there. As we walked up to the building we started to like it more and more. It was an old but very well kept school building. It was beautiful. We went in and helped out with the English classes for a couple of hours and will definitely be going regularly.
Youth Group| 'See you at the Pole' is an annual gathering of students at a local flagpole for a time of prayer, bible reading and worship. Lots of the kids at church took part in their schools and so in keeping with the theme we held a prayer event on wednesday night. We set 5 different stations with different prayer stations.
At my station they had a chance to prayer for at least one male and one female in their lives.
The annual youth conference at our church was this weekend. The focus of the conference was equipping the youth in sharing their faith with family, friends and others in the community. The conference was over the weekend and so we all spent Friday at the church.
On the Friday night we set up a camp fire in the little woods area outside the church and had Frito pie. What's on earth is Frito pie I hear you say? Well at least that's what I said! It's chilli served on a bed of Frito crisps topped with cheese and sour cream (sour cream is optional). It was really nice and if you leave it for a couple of minutes - I even had seconds! After that we played a couple of games out there and then went in for some down time and well earned sleep!
Prayer| If you pray please pray for good health for my whole team - the long days and AC affect (HOT outside and COLD inside) can make us feel under the weather.
Right that's it for this week folks! Have a great week!
