Howdy Partners!
FOOD| I can't contain my excitement on this one guys - just writing about it is making me hungry. This week I finally tried Chicken and Waffles. Beautiful. Absolutely delicious and BY FAR my favourite dish since arriving. It was well worth the wait! Four perfectly made, light and tasty waffles, served with three pieces of crispy, tender chicken, maple syrup and peppered gravy. Mmmmmmm.
And don't worry guys - I'm still staying healthy ;-) I'll only have it once a month!
TEXAS STATE FAIR| Once a year the state of Texas have a big state fair in Dallas and we went along to check it out this week. It was truly a different taste of Texas - it was really fun and we got to see an experience new things.
Okay so imagine some of your favourite deserts...........and now imagine them deep fried!! That's the Texas State Fair. They have everything from deep fried milk and cookies to deep fried butter (yep I said butter).
I tried deep fried ice cream and it was nice and also very sweet so I didn't eat much of it.
The other thing you'll find at the Texas State Fair is giant sized everything. Giant corn dogs, a giant plate of curly fries and giant onion rings are but a few of the wonders I saw.
PUMPKIN CARVING| I carved a pumpkin last week!
Clearing out the pumpkin was the worst part as it couldn't have smelled worse! Btu again well worth it as I'm rather proud of my first attempt. :)
DALLAS| I took my first proper trip into Dallas with a few friends this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the busy city life once again.
First stop was the Dallas Museum of Art. Then we walked around for some time (never get to do this usually - always in a car) and I tried Italian Ice which is similar to sorbet but not as smooth. The best part of the trip was trying chicken and waffles (which I've already told you about).
SCHOOL| We aren't allowed to talk about God openly/directly in our lessons but this week we pushed the boundaries as we spoke to the kids about where their identity comes from and whether it should or shouldn't be wrapped up in the things they do. God has really blessed all the work we do with the schools and we are seeing the students asking questions and wanting to know more about God and how to understand the bible.
PRAYER| A student from church has been suffering with concussion and if she isn't able to get to the route of the problem she will not be able to play soccer at school anymore and will loose her scholarship to university. She is extremely worried and said she has been working towards this since she was five years old and will be completely lost if she isn't able to continue. Please pray for healing for her and that God will show her that she is more than just a soccer player.
Thanks for your time folks!
God Bless and have a fruitful week!
